Film Theory: Is Miss Peregrine's BETTER than Hogwarts? (Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children)

Do you feel different? Do you have to hide your true self from others? Are you frankly a little weird? So let's be honest. Normal school is not for you. You deserve something

better

. You deserve. I found out about Pat's guide to young adult schools for mutant monsters and magic. users, hello internet, welcome to

, the YouTube program guarantees that you will get a perfect score on the SAT. The actual perfect score number may vary. Boy, the year summer ended long ago. Students around the world have gone back to school to reluctantly learn math history and Transfiguration Oh, it was the last one they didn't offer you, maybe you're in the wrong school, as we've learned in the last ten years of adult movies young people and fiction.

Magic schools are everywhere, there are schools for vampires, schools for mutants. for wizards, even schools for wizards who want to have a little extra action, oh they're kids, let's lower those wands a bit, but with so many options available, how do I find the best school for my needs? Fear not, because that is the question I plan to answer today which magical school is objectively the best. I'm ranking among the most prestigious fictional gifted schools of our time Harry Potter's Hogwarts Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters from the X-Men series and the new kid on the block Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children simply because it's different and because the movie is about to be released, it just came out every time you watch this video and because it's actually a pretty interesting series, but how do we classify these schools well in real life?

In life, there are multiple lists like US News & World Report that serve as ranking systems to compare schools based on criteria like average class size, job placement rates, classes offer things like that, it's like the only one type of list that WatchMojo hasn't taken advantage of. At this point, I'm not giving you any ideas anyway. In preparing for today's episode, I settled on the formula used by one of the most respected rating systems, Princeton Review, which ranks each school according to eight different categories. So how do some of the best magic schools in the world work? schools stack up, we're about to find out, and in case it's not obvious, your choice in school will include a couple of spoilers for these movies, so be warned, again, your education is too important, so don't Let's waste more time.

Go to academic category one, the first thing you think about when it comes to a school is how good their classes are and how diverse their curriculum is. All academic courses at Hogwarts are divided into two, teaching students about the wizarding world and whether they will do a good job. If students only learn about the Wizarding World from what we can tell in books and movies, there is only one Muggle Studies class that is related to the outside world and because of this, Hogwarts graduates can care for a flower worm , but you do not? They know how to do things like read and calculate a tip at a restaurant because they have literally never taken a math class.

Instead, the closest the Hogwarts students get is an NC rhythm that predicts the future through numbers, basically numerology, the Illuminati confirmed and that's not to mention everything else. which they have no idea about, you should know everything about Mongoose, what exactly the function of a rubber duck is, right Miss Peregrine, on the other hand, the school is much more concerned with teaching students to defend themselves or stay hidden , they do teach regular subjects, so this qualifies. as a school, but the problem is that the school is stuck in a time loop back in 1940, this means that all the students are

ing almost 75 years of history technology Game of Thrones episodes everything, in fact, Miss Peregrine deliberately hides information to your students to ensure they never leave Don't get me wrong, I love you, Miss PE, but it might be time to upgrade to some newfangled learning tools, such as 8-track tapes, cassette decks, records laser, by the way, does the school still use laserdiscs?

It was always so random. When a teacher brought out one of those things, what's a laser disk, you ask, well, basically, CDs the size of a record, what's a record, what's a compact disk, man, I feel old, so that leaves us. with Xavier's School for Gifted Youth, which is amazingly designed to be Just like in an ordinary private school, as a student, there you will learn normal history signs in English between physical education classes with laser shooting practice. In fact, according to the X-Men Survival Guide for the Manor, all students must teach being prepared. No. Joke mixing algebra with magnetic satellite moving the curriculum here is clearly the most balanced first point to house Xavier in the financial aid category.

A key consideration in any college decision is how much funding the school provides to its students to reduce the crippling debt it will generate. them for the next ten years of their lives, luckily for our talented students, our three schools are set up as safe houses in addition to being places of higher education, as a result, there is no tuition, no treasury bills or outstanding student loans. your head upon graduating now that I think about it that's probably the most fictional thing about these fictional schools you have to pay off those student loans but you probably shouldn't have taken that extra ethics course but with Hogwarts you really have to read your Fine Print because before you can say Petrificus Totalus are charging you all kinds of hidden fees.

You have to have your robe, your cauldron, your wand, all those books, including the one that literally bites you. Hogwarts even has a mascot on its back. -shopping list for school and we know these things are expensive a waddell runya universal studio $50 is even a magic wand it's like a plastic remote control has less functionality than a wii mote oh look, i turned on the flashlight thanks for the magical experience Universal doesn't even have a phoenix feather in there. I mean, Harry is lucky to have two dead parents who left him with a cavern full of gold to pay his bills, but a middle-income family like the Weasleys needs to use everything. used robes, books and even rats, as a result, the points for this round go to school categories three and four of

miss

Peregrine's and Xavier.

Princeton Review has two categories here, one on how qualified and two on how accessible the teachers are. miss Peregrine's has The biggest disadvantage here is that it only has one faculty member and on the experience side, Miss Peregrine may be well versed in quirky and silly yes for those of you who haven't yet read the books or seen the movie, that's what they call their special. skill, it's a good book series, but it's as ridiculous as it gets, let's be honest, her qualifications as an actual teacher are kind of vague, she grew up in the 1920s and willfully ignores any progress made in science, technology, art and history I guess what could be said. that she's kind of dumb because she belongs to Bream and has the ability to turn into birds, whatever the complicated fictional world is.

She's fine, on the other hand, at least she has a lot of office hours and prepares breakfast for the whole class, it's not enough. To give you the points, although, on the contrary, all Hogwarts professors are real teachers and completely specialized in their subject, many of them have real experience like Mad Eye Moody or are known for their academic rigor like Snape, even their schedules office are pretty good. I mean, in most movies you can barely avoid these teachers, even if you're literally wandering the halls at 3:00 a.m. m. under a cloak of invisibility for crying out loud.

Dumbledore kept coming back to give advice about the area even after he was dead, and then what happens? Xavier's okay, unfortunately, he just seems to scrape the mutants that are available and throw them into a random topic. Sure Professor Charles Xavier has a PhD from Oxford, but do you really think Cyclops is qualified to teach geometry? He doesn't even have depth perception. And what about accessibility? Well, unfortunately, the X-Men only teach between major world crises, which basically happen all the time, at which point they take on their real jobs. You know the X-Men. I think they will despise you well. to a CT when your teachers have been away for the last three weeks trying to stuff Magneto back into his little plastic box.

I don't think so, so it's Hogwarts by far that has the best teaching staff both in terms of quality and accessibility. Two points per house Hogwarts categories five and six campus life and safety What good is the quality of education and teacher training if students live under constant fear of death? a school, first and foremost, must be safe, which when it comes to these schools means These categories are just flooded, sure Xavier looks this gorgeous, but hello, it's built on top of the X-Men headquarters. It's like building Harvard on top of a nuclear test site. In the span of a few decades, we literally see the school overtaken by the looted military. and completely destroyed in the comics, the place is destroyed like every ten issues, and while Hogwarts may seem like the best option with its secluded campus and great extracurricular activities like Quidditch, pork, and dances, it also has a tree in the front yard that can eat cars. a basilisk in the pipes, a troll in the girls' bathroom, as well as deadly spiders and angry centaurs right next to the school grounds and that's not including the time the Death Eaters broke through security, murdered the director and destroyed the castle in the middle of what ascended. to a magical racing war, Miss Peregrine looks like she should have the easy win here, they literally repeat the same sunny day over and over, what could go wrong, well that's the sunny day they repeat over and over, turns out being the one in which the school found itself in a direct path with the dropping of a World War II bomb. 4head the only thing that saves the students every 24 hours is that he exists in a time loop that resets when the bomb is inches from landing and that says if the loop doesn't reset that bomb will literally demolish the school and all its inhabitants oh yeah, I forgot to mention that if any of the students decide to leave the circuit, they will all age the 80 years they missed and die immediately, so yeah, there are no winners in these categories.

Geez, it's a miracle anyone even seems to graduate. Category Job Outlook 7. What's the point of a school if not to get a job after graduating? they learn normal school subjects, most of them are encouraged by Charles himself to rejoin the world or stereo and teach others and yet most of the students end up just doing that second part becoming part-time teachers and x -men full-time, none of which are particularly stable jobs. considering the health risks we cover in categories 5 and 6 regarding Miss Peregrine because of that annoying time loop, the students never age and considering they are all under 18, those baby faces will hurt them in their job prospects long term, but honestly it's not. like any of that matters when you're stuck reliving the same day over and over again, it's not like you're ever going to make it to payday in the first place and again there's that whole cycle of leaving the time loop and dying , so let's go.

Just say there are some obstacles to long-term job security. Meanwhile, most Hogwarts students graduate and settle into magical jobs like ministry officials, dragon slayers, quidditch players, which easily places Hogwarts at the top of this category. Hogwarts earns a point at work. perspectives, which means our score heading into the final round is Hogwarts 3 Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters will miss out on Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children at one point and since there's only one category left, does that mean this has basically finished, that there is no way that the other schools can defeat Hogwarts, well, don't be too sure, let's look at the last criterion, category 8 admission selectivity, now it is true that at first glance this does not seem like a big change in the rules of the game.

The Xavier School for Gifted Young People never turns away any mutants who We will even admit mutants whose powers negate the powers of other mutants or mutants who previously destroyed the school or the muse who seduced the students seriously. They seem to accept everyone. Hogwarts is also open to wizards from all walks of life, even if their parents are the Supporters.de Mort, I'm looking at you, Draco and Miss Peregrine's house is open to anyone showing

peculiar

symptoms or pale enough to star in a Tim Burton movie, but when you really look at the admissions process, two of these schools suck.

As institutions that, at their core, are fundamentally discriminatory, ageist, and ableist, they exclude people based on attributes they have no control over, such as their genetics and physical abilities, which would be like Harvard only allowing men, but not only to men, only to white men who are also blonde and blue. -eyes were not born with a

peculiar

soul, so I'm sorry, but the doors of Peregrine are closed Tia, in fact, non-peculiars can not only enter the school circuit, if they somehow manage to enter the campus grounds, they would actually lose their minds, that's not an exaggeration, they will literally lose their minds.

Keep in mind and if you think that's bad, Hogwarts' admissions practices are actually illegal, you'll see according to the official Pottermore website. Hogwarts admissions are dictated by the acceptance quill and the admission book, and the book has a perfect track record of keeping squibs out of Hogwarts at the moment. JK Rowling also confirms on our old official website that no squib has ever attended Hogwarts, not like review scripts like Argus Filch or non-magical

children

born to witches and wizards, basically its muggles born as wizards and being a squib is the worst stuff. that you can be in the wizarding world.

In fact, the word squib is basically like a racial slur to them, so why is it such a big deal if they are kept out of Hogwarts? They're not magical anyway, so the decision to send those kids to Muggle schools goes a long way. of sense rights, with the exception of race, private schools can discriminate based on things like religion or ability, but that's only if they don't receive federal funding, if a private school receives even a dollar of funding government, they are subject to anti-discrimination laws including things like the Americans with Disabilities Act here in the US or disability rights in the UK, that's the one that would apply to Hogwarts and Hogwarts receives funding from the Ministry of Magic, JK Rowling even confirmed the funding herself on Twitter and although it is barely mentioned in the books the movies.

I can confirm that the Ministry of Magic gets its money outside of what it receives from private donations from Lucius Malfoy types of tax-paying wizards and witches, as evidenced by the existence of the hex tax you see here. So what we have at Hogwarts is a taxpayer-funded school that intentionally discriminates against

children

born to wizards, the squibs, and which, frankly, is illegal under the letter of the law, as such. Technically, Hogwarts should be closed by the government or be required to open its doors and here I thought you were a guy who would appreciate Dumbledore's diversity and that leaves only Xavier School, which believe it or not allows non-mutants to study there. .

It took a bit of digging into many fictional yearbooks, but for 10 issues each A non-mutant named Walter Lambert talks about how he earned his way into Xavier School through academic merit alone. A non-mutant at the mutant private school. Why would you want to go there considering your school is destroyed every few months and half the curriculum is destroyed. It doesn't apply to your abilities, it's beyond my understanding, but hey, you could do it, you know that on second thought, although I guess Wolverine teaching you pre-med would be pretty awesome, the guy is a healing expert after all, but in general.

When the dust settles, the Xavier School is the number one college for gifted students according to Princeton Review rankings, which brings us to the moral of today's episode. Why do we think it would be cool to go to these schools in real life. The fact of the matter is that none. Many of them would love the rabble like us, well do you know what their potions can hold? I'll watch the rest of you at

The man just says that it made me feel ten times smarter and also when it comes to the videos of him, because of those sick eyebrows, I love them. things, it's like a toupee for the upper eyelid, so anyway click here to watch the prank channel and then tell them I sent you so I can rub it in their faces that I sent a bunch of viewers, it's all part of a friendly meeting. little rivalry we have, it's not friendly at all, they're actually bitter and bitter rivals now, if you'll excuse me, next week we'll start off a scary October by going dark and green, see you then.
