How To Conduct Yourself At School

About This Movie

How To Conduct Yourself At School, directed by J. David Siddon, is this fascinating slice of 1980s educational documentary. It’s not just about the basics; there’s a certain earnestness in the way it tackles themes like respect for property and the importance of asking for help. The pacing has that classic slow burn, almost like it’s trying to drill the lessons into you, which can feel a bit nostalgic if you grew up in that era. There’s a simplicity to the practical effects and the straightforward performances that make it oddly charming. It’s distinctive in how it captures the school atmosphere—like a time capsule for anyone interested in educational media from that period.
