In that school officials who are poorer than their students' parents have no business holding the students accountable for lying and need to be punished and even tortured for questioning them.

shareThe film needs a antagonist.
Since this film was directed toward teens and young adults, what better foil than a out of touch, middle-aged principal?
I think it could have worked under any administration. In the end it is about this very popular kid who outsmarts everyone and gets away with anything.
And when people like the Principal do try and catch him they pay for it.
The question is, does Ferris deserve to have so many adoring followers?
Since when has deserving got anything to do with winning?
shareI think rich families having control over a school administration is applicable more so to private schools today than public schools, especially if the family are big donors to the school or the kids are star athletes at the school.
shareTrue. And in regards to the film, the Principal knows what Ferris gets up to but there isn't any proof. You would think he would have called Sloane's father back after Cameron posed as him on the phone.
