Conenventions
Characters;
Teacher; Mrs Hopwell- has no power, control or authority over her class and gets scared and intimidated by Michaela when she gets up to argue back. She also doesn't break up the fight which shows she is a weak character. She also represents women poorly as she cant break up the fight or especially stick up for herself but the male teacher immediately solves the situation so he is portrayed as a masculine heroic character.
Pupils;  Michaela- stereotyped as her uniform is rebellious, hooped earrings. She starts the trouble by confronting the teacher and seems confident she can argue with her & Lindsay
