Mainly because they don't belong in Special Ed and are being marginalized by the Baltimore school system. That blonde with the beehive was probably dumped in that class for the same reason Tracy was.
I love how John Waters how the balls to show how special education is just a tool used by the uppity school board to separate the "different" kids from the "normal" ones. I know because I have Aspergers Syndrome.
Maybe back then, but now they go out of their way to have SpEd kids be integrated into the regular classroom environment as much as possible. I know because I'm a teacher - two of my classes are called "co-teach" classes, where I have students who are classified as Special Education as well as non-Special Education students, in the same classroom. The SpEd students have accommodations and get extra support (depending on their paperwork), but they ultimately receive the same instruction as the students who aren't classified as Special Education. Not to mention there's also 504 students, who get accommodations but can be in non-co-teach classes and are ultimately treated very similarly to standard students. Students who are classified as 504 can have almost any disability - some that I've seen include panic disorders, bipolar, depression, anxiety, ADHD, dyslexia, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and diabetes. Trust me, classifying a student as Special Education is more work involved for many people, and only for the most drastic cases does it involve complete and utter separation from the "normal" kids.
That's the magic of John Waters. He was able to humanize the outcasts and give them a voice and celebrate their unique weirdness or call attention to social/political issues through his humor.
Unfortunately it feels like nowadays that kind of message has been corrupted by the same king of people who tried to force everyone to be the same during that point in time. And I wish that wasn't the case because it irritates the crap out of me when people try to pull that.
Me special needs person myself I wouldn't call a person an "outcast" or "weird people" because that's just shows that you kinda don't care about what's happening here and didn't care for what happened back then for these beautiful blessed people so next time when you're writing a paragraph like this make sure it's a lot more caring and understanding cuz when you use the word like "weirdness" it's just kinda the NO! NO! type I use words like "blessed" or "beautiful" that's what I use in my sentences for videos like this all the time but it's just to let you know though.

John Travolta was in grease (an 80s iconic movie like hairspray) so why would you not like him? The new one is actually really good and the music fits right in so don’t judge a movie because it’s a remake

John Waters loves to make films with big girls and women fighting against what society thinks about them. What I haven't read in the comments is the obvious fact that the hair the teacher is wearing is stacked much higher than the new do Tracy is sporting in class. We also know that what Amber is doing is in relation to the fact that Tracy is now a new council member on The Corney Collins Show. The whole scene is a set up and there are obvious exaggerations because, special ed classes really didn't exist much during the early 1960s. Kids were simply driven or bussed to special schools for the "mentally retarded.' In the school district I was in "San Gabriel Elementary", it was just after World War ii when the LA County Board of Education took over Lincoln Elementary in our area so that it could servea as the special education for several districts in our section of LA County.
The Actor who played Corny Collins was on The Soap Opera Guiding Light and the Actor who played Seaweed was on Another World and was The Reggae Singing Guy on The Cosby Show.
Special Ed was pretty lit not gonna lie. I went for Math. Weird how I had one of the highest marks in English and writing classes but one of the lowest in Math.
It's actually more common than you think; I was pretty much like you in high school, but the Math class I was in, I got pretty good marks, and it wasn't any of the Algebra of Calculus varients of the subject. Everyone has their own strength and weaknesses, and sometimes we have to endure our weaknesses more than our strengths to know what we truly excel at
3:01 - MAD Magazine! Absolutely perfect detail...back then parents would confiscate your issue of MAD and chuck it in the trash (like they did to your EC horror comics in the early 50's)
Really...? If you look at the other girls in the class their hair is wayyyy higher than Tracy's with all their huge high buns and updos. And why can't they just give Tracy a seat in the back? Lol.
It wasn't normal in the 60's to be adopted, because if a child was adopted, then your biological mother would of probably either been a prositute, or unmarried, which is massively frowned upon both ways
Nowadays, some of my students try to insult each other by saying "you're adopted!" Anytime I hear that I interrupt and say "How is that a diss? Their parents picked them. YOUR parents just got stuck with you."
Hairspray was based on a chapter called "The Nicest Kids in Town" in John Waters' book, "Crackpot." It was all about "The Buddy Deane Show" which ran on Baltimore TV station WJZ from 1957 until 1964. My wife was on it once.
In second grade from the later half of 1999 to the earlier half of 2000, I was in both my regular class and in special ed (where that group was all male, not including adults).
I think that’s Amber was jealous of Tracey especially when she’s kept spreading rumors about her. I’m glad that she’s got what she what she deserved especially her Mom’s wig had a bomb 💣 especially when her parents got arrested. Jennydebrier
Hey Brits. I've always been curious about this but in your schools growing up was "the Principal" the same as your "Headmaster"? Being the ultimate authority in discipline and had the power to send you home, suspend you or even expel you from the school altogether? Who was the last step for discipline in your school? Nowadays the "Principal" is more of an administrative/bureaucratic role and the "Vice Principal" handles all discipline and authority. As an American kid there is nothing more scary at school than being sent to the Principals Office. (shivers)
