The Term in High School

That class is usually considered the most important one and it’s also considered essential for a student’s performance and grade in school. That’s why, in some schools, the class is attended by students who are ahead, who have the best academic performance, or who need extra help.
The Movie Explains It
John Hughes was inspired by the term “Breakfast Club” when thinking of a title for the movie. He was referring to the scene in the movie when Brian reads a poem to the students which starts with these two lines, “And these children that you spit on, as they try to change their worlds are immune to your consultations.They’re quite aware of what they’re going through. ” The movie is expressing an idea that every student, no matter how different they are in academic performance or in their backgrounds, they’re all trying to change their worlds. That’s why the movie is called The Breakfast Club and it’s why a part of the title of the poem is discussed so many times throughout the movie.
