The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams - Scene 1

School supply time. I bought the basics all summer for awhile, but then I had to stop because the lists became so specific that I was wasting my money. So, a week or two before school I was frantically trying to find specific brands of pencils, pens, notebooks, binders, glues, folders and those had to be specific colors too , crayons, dictionaries, calculators, and on and on. Sometimes teachers had items on the list not even made by manufacturers listed. And I, who learned how to prove theorems and construct pentagrams and calculate sines, cosines, and tangents all without ever owning a calculator by the time I graduated high school, I resented those calculators.

No one will ever convince me otherwise. I needed calculators in college level math and physics. I was so much better off without them in school. Believe it or not, when I took my first trigonometry class at college level, the instructor would not allow us to use calculators on an exam, and I was fine with that. When I sat down to take those exams, because I understood triangles, sines, cosines, and tangents, I could remember and use any formula I needed myself, specific to each problem. When I took chemistry in college there was even a calculator for that. My kids were in high school then, and on the way to school one of my sons drilled me on the elements, and on the formulas and basics I had to know.

I was the only one in that class to get an A, and the next year when my son took chemistry in high school he easily made an A as well. Calculators are useful, but we have allowed them and computers to become crutches, and critical thinking skills have suffered. I learned to problem solve from math classes, a skill that has served me well in all areas of my life. Could it be possible that some of the problems our children have with anxiety these days is partially caused by the fact that we no longer teach them the tools to cope with life, as well as solve an Algebra problem?

The ability to think logically and analytically is a crucial skill, and we need it. Maybe we have a bunch of young adults running around feeling threatened by actual free and different thought and expression and opinions because they only know how to emote, not really think deeply. So, one of my two main pet peeves with the schools, and teaching, was ridiculous school supply lists, and the second was projects. And no Amazon. I just saw a comment from one parent about her kid having to buy one specific and expensive Thesaurus because the teacher loved it.

It was a deluxe model and cost way more than the basic thesaurus that would have been fine. I also saw parents comment on a number of items their kids never even used during the school year. Several parents named a protractor. Good grief, sometimes I used mine so much that it would break and my mom would get me another one. And I was in junior high school then, what they call middle school now, at one of the worst schools in the city. And I base that opinion partially on my own kids parochial school education. Often, I demanded that they show their work on math problems, rather than just the answer. I made them stick with units, knowing that just a numerical answer without a unit of measure was jibberish.

I made them re-write English assignments and compositions, even when teachers accepted less than stellar work. And those skills I used to push and tutor my own kids, most of them I learned by junior high school from good teachers, not in the college classes I later took. Indeed, I was often shocked in college classes at how little some instructors cared for detail, accuracy, and good sentences and paragraphs. When I was in school, if you had to write a paper for history class it was usually going to get almost as much scrutiny for form, punctuation, and spelling as the English teacher would give it. It made us better. I used to be a manager at Staples, and I hated this time of year from the other side of the list, the retail employee trying to help frazzled parents on their ridiculous, demanding, and unnecessary school supply treasure hunt.

One poor mother had the usual page long list, and in addition to all the specific supplies, paper towels, wipes, etc. This poor mother had tears in her eyes and was at the end of her rope when she saw what it was, and told me she had other children to supply as well. I told her to ignore the item and get what her kid had to have. I know teachers have no money in the school budgets for things like printer ink, and I know that they spend a lot of their own money on the classroom and kids.

But parents are not able to be an open pocketbook either. I well remember the frustration I felt at having three very different lists to fill at the last minute. That was a lot of money for us, and worse for many others. Anyhow, I know lots of us here are grandparents, and help out, at least with money, on these lists. I thought it would be interesting to hear your experiences and strange items on the lists.

When I was a kid, we really went to school on the first day with a cigar box our mothers somehow cajoled out of the stores for us. That was it. We never had lists. But we did learn the importance of getting the basics down pat. Every 2 years I changed schools. I remember the teach read from the Bible and then we stood for the Pledge of Allegiance to start the day in Grade School. I could only afford the fake Barracuda as the inside plaid lining never came all the way to the zipper, so I always wore it zipped to hide that! Wing tip shoes were the norm. Mids in a Pittsburgh PA-area school. We had assembly every morning before classes where we had to line up in rows and a chapter from the Bible was read. Then we prayed. It was compulsory. If the school district is begging for money in California then maybe they should fire some of the bloated administration and pay for it that way.

The rest is bloat for administrators and HR. Wow I never had children and had no clue things had changed so much supply-wise. Reedonkulus specificity. Sure do wonder where all these impoverishing NY school taxes end up hahahahaha ka-ching. Vaguely remember my mother growling about the high-school 3-ring binder requirement that abruptly appeared out of the ether sometime between my older brother and me. Needle-sharp protractor always ready for self-defense purposes suburban school, pretty safe, except for milk money extortion and that 2 pencil back-stab in third grade. Crazy, right? My own list was loose leaf paper, black and white notebook era before CRT , 2 pencils and a pen.

And the wolves chased you in the dark over 6 foot snow drifts on your way to school. Just kidding. But 12 Elmers glue sticks? What for? I use those things and they last a long time. The first person in the row of desks got to go to the supply closet with a sheet of scrap paper. The teacher would then put a dab of paste on the paper to be passed back the row to share. I did get one bottle of glue every term and when it ran out I had make a cooked glue paste with flour and water. NEVER follow the list, just paper pens pencils note books and index cards. Amen to this. I have been thinking about this also and we had slide rules…this was obviously before the computer…but logic and critical thinking are gone….

A box of crayons and a pencil. There were boxes of shared supplies such as rulers etc. How I treasured my box of crayons. So careful not to break them. I laugh as I write this because for the last 41 years I owned my stained glass company and I still treasure every brush and tool I use. When I taught school I used a similar method with my students 22 years teaching. We artists even give our tools names — and sometimes even semi-retirement parties when favorites finally wear out…. I have a badger brush that I call the Big guy. And no one ever uses that one.

My first badger brush I bought it from an art store going out of business. Still way to much. I needed it for a church job that required painting. So I understand. I never realized until I was an adult how much my parents sacrificed so my brother and I could have new school clothes each fall along with the needed school supplies. I still remember the smell of the new supplies; yes, they had their own fragrance along with the fragrance of new shoes, clothes and a book binder.

Never could figure out why she kept repurposing that dress. Of course it was so that the money that would have gone for a new dress for her went to buy school supplies and clothes for us. I am sure both parents breathed a sigh of relief when I finally quit growing! Both parents have been dead for years but I will never forget the sacrifices they made so both my brother and I could have what we needed, and sometimes the extra special items too. Marcia, I have similar memories. We were never aware of the tight budget our parents had to deal with.

Never heard money talk. I imagine that was for their private times. My Mother and Dad both believed in quality rather than quantity. We had good sturdy shoes for the school year and I got something more girly for Easter along with a new Easter dress. We always felt so well taken care of. And I never heard whining, complaining, dissatisfaction…. I enjoyed reading your reply. So much of it could have been mine including the belated appreciation for all that they did for us. Their selfless love. And yes, those new school supplies had a wonderful smell! All my professors at Indiana U. Accounting courses would highly recommend NOT using a calculator for assignments or tests. NO calculators allowed. Plenty of very sharp pencils and a large eraser were all that were allowed in the testing room.

On to graduate school we all had the HP business programmable calculator. I had to learn out to use a ten-key machine on my first accounting job. Too right We had arithmetic, mental arithmetic in primary school. In high school we still had these AND maths I can add,multiply and subtract in my head without paper. I taught myself some tricks to do that easily. We wore those out….. In 7th grade we got into geometry and our teacher had cards for that, then trig cards next year. I think it was during home room….. Many decades ago when I started school, , living in Oildale, CA, schools were still funded by local property taxes. Virtually all the land around Oildale was owned by Standard Oil. No classroom had more than 20 kids.

Every classroom had a TV. Every classroom had 2 teachers. All supplies were provided by the school. Every kid learned how to read, do math, etc. Every Friday was Fun Friday. We either watched films Heidi, etc or went on field trips. Field trips often started about 7 am and we went as far as the Mission in Santa Barbara. We had an auditorium for assemblies and such and it included an orchestra pit that both raised and lowered. I recieved my cello in third grade from the school and kept it until I graduated from 8th grade. Mr Hartman was our orchestra conductor and that was his only job, teaching music. We also Had Mr. Grubbs, our band leader who exclusively taught band.

Wednesdays were library days where we would learn how to research topics we were interested in. Williams has written a strong, wholly believable play that, starting in a low key, mounts slowly and inexorably to its shocking climax. The set represents the two-room apartment occupied by Stanley Kowalski, a young Pole somehow cryptically connected with the automobile business, and his pregnant bride, Stella, a fine, highly sexed girl, though the daughter of that most exhausted of all aristocracies, an old Southern family. It is possible that some scenic artist somewhere has contrived a more gruesome interior than the decaying horror that Jo Mielziner has executed for the Kowalskis, but I doubt it.

It is on the ground floor outside, a circular iron staircase winds up to another apartment, containing perhaps the least inhibited married couple ever offered on the stage ; there is no door between the two rooms, only a curtain; the furnishings are sparse and dreadful; the desolate street outside can be seen through the windows, or, rather, through the walls, since Mr. It is a wonderful effect and, as the evening wears along, oppressive almost beyond words. She is a strange girl, but at first there is nothing visibly wrong with her except a slight hysteria, which she tries to fight down with frequent surreptitious drinks of whiskey, and that grotesque and terrible refinement that Mr.

This is understandable, since, thanks to a peculiar combination of script and casting, this character emerges as almost wholly subhuman—illiterate, dirty, violent, and even somehow with a suggestion of physical deformity, an apelike quality, about him. In addition to the personal disgust he inspires in her, Blanche is slowly forced to realize that her desperate pretending is no good with him; from the moment she comes in, he suspects the unbearable truth about her, and when she seems to be infecting her sister with her stylish ways, he drags it out into the light, with contemptuous brutality.

It is something of a tribute to Mr. He also gives her secret away to the one man—a poor specimen, but kind and honest—who might conceivably have saved her and then takes her, casually and contemptuously, himself. The plot is just a framework on which to hang the movie's willfully silly premise—yes, it's about denim jeans that slaughter lots of people—but the cast is game, the writing is fun, and the carnage is wild and plentiful. Where to watch it: Shudder. Sign me up. There's a rudimentary slasher structure tossed in to keep things moving, but Willy's Wonderland is at its best when it's just Cage beating the holy hell out of Chuck E. Obviously not much of this is meant to be taken all that seriously, but it still works in a tongue-in-cheek midnight movie sort of way.

All you need to know is that all of Las Vegas is surrounded by walls and swollen with zombies —and a team of mercenaries, led by Dave Bautista, have to invade the city in order to retrieve a huge pile of money stashed inside a secure vault. The eclectic ensemble helps a whole lot, and the film offers a barrage of set pieces that are tough to resist. Where to watch it: Netflix. This time around our ghost-chasers are working on a case in which an unlikely murderer blames you know who for his crimes.

It's the devil. Release date: May 21 Cast: Jasmin Savoy Brown, Lili Simmons, James Jagger Writer-director: Alex Noyer Why it's good: A young woman who once struggled with hearing problems discovers that her malady can be alleviated through some exceedingly non-conventional means: specifically, she becomes obsessed with the sounds of death. Led by a fantastic performance by Jasmin Savoy Brown, this novel, gritty little slasher throwback has a lot more on its mind than just mindless carnage. Where to watch it: Showtime and VOD. Release date: May 21 Cast: Suki Waterhouse, Madisen Beaty, Inanna Sarkis Writer-director: Simon Barrett You're Next Why it's good: A spirited new student at a very cliquey girls school gets a quick lesson on who's in charge the mean girls are before learning about some recent tragic history; a student has died under mysterious circumstances, so of course it's time to try to make contact with her through supernatural methods.

An excellent lead performance, some nice production design, and quick pacing keep this wry, understated chiller from feeling overly familiar. This timely social media thriller benefits from a clever screenplay, a fantastically manic performance from Gracie Gillam, a few unexpected shocks, and an amusing cameo from genre icon Barbara Crampton. It's actually a very clever and progressively more compelling time loop story that focuses on the cyclical nature of violence and how difficult it is to escape from terrifying memories. It's also fun, too. Night Shyamalan Unbreakable Why it's good: An isolated tropical island seems to possess some dark supernatural forces: not only is there no escape, but the location seems to speed up the aging process in very shocking and disturbing ways.

Doesn't rank among M. Night's finest, but has enough interesting ideas, compelling characters, and disturbing moments to keep genre fans happy. Release date: June 25 Cast: Patrick Fugit, Ingrid Sophie Schram, Owen Campbell Writer-director: Jonathan Cuartas Why it's good: A low-key character piece about vampirism, chronic ailments, and the importance of loyalty amongst loved ones, this movie isn't exactly the perfect horror movie for a "fun" Friday night but it's definitely worth a look if you enjoy gloomy dramas that use the horror genre in subtle, humanistic ways.

Release Date: March 5 Cast: Goran Bogdan, Kevin Guthrie, Chris Reilly Writer-director: Will Jewell Why it's good: A group of contractors find themselves in deep trouble after their rotten employer runs afoul of a horrible accident—and things quickly spiral out of control in this dark, amusing, twisty thriller. At times, the British film even manages to evoke Danny Boyle's Shallow Grave , which is high praise indeed. Release date: July 8 Cast: Andi Matichak, Emile Hirsch, Luke David Blumm Writer-director: Ivan Kavanagh The Canal Why it's good: A devoted young mother is terrified to learn that her son has come down with a mysterious disease, but the source of the kid's ailment may be more insidious than just a simple virus.

With the help of a concerned detective, she begins to uncover the truth. This low-key creeper boasts a few worthwhile moments of shocks and jolts, plus the mystery of the poor child's sickness is actually pretty compelling. Release date: June 18 Cast: Monique Rockman, Carel Nel, Alex van Dyk Writer: Tertius Kapp Director: Jaco Bouwer Why it's good: This creepy South African export would make for an interesting double feature with Ben Wheatley's Into the Earth mentioned above because it's about a park ranger who travels deep into a foreboding forest, only to discover a "crazy" man and his young son—but also something much, much scarier, like in a biological sense.

Beautifully shot and quietly fascinating. Release date: April 8 Cast: Rose Williams, Diveen Henry, Amy Beth Hayes Writer-director: Corinna Faith Why it's good: It's all about the atmosphere in this low-key but entirely engaging British chiller about a nurse forced to work in a dingy old hospital that keeps losing its electricity. It's a simple enough premise, but the location and the production design are top-notch, and the general vibe of the piece is just endlessly eerie.

Lead actor Rose Williams delivers some great work too, given that the entire movie rests on her shoulders. This time around, it's a group of young women who summon a seemingly invincible spirit of vengeance—and the results are not pretty. One escapes and does all he can to rescue his still-captured pal. Of course there's a little more to it than that, but the beauty of this intense indie is in its palpable, sustained sense of suspense, and a great lead performance by Lonnie Chavis. It runs perhaps a bit too long for its own good, but the movie benefits from nice pacing and several kinetic set pieces.

Don't be surprised if this one gets an "Americanized" remake eventually. Stine books focuses on a group of actual! Best of all, if you like this one, it kicks off an entire trilogy. And since that's a fairly conventional set-up, it's a good thing that The Night House has a lot more to offer than that; it's one of those sedate and low-key horror films that's more interested in character and humanity and in simple door slams and jump scares.
