What Parents Need to Know
About Rock School
Parents need to know that the movie's teacher, Paul Green, and some of his teenaged students use frequent curse words (including various forms of "f--k"). While most of the students and their parents here commend Green's approach, one former student notes that the criticisms and jokes at his expense are harsh. One young student suffers from a bone disorder, appearing on stage post-surgery, playing his guitar while seated.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about Green's very lively, alternately funny and severe methods of instruction. Is learning harder or do you feel more motivated when a teacher yells at you? How are you helped by supportive parents and friends when you learn a difficult skill?
