lol, yeah by the time I saw ET I already saw every copycat of that movie that ET seemed lame.
When it comes to Ferris I did find the movie fun and when it comes to it's stance on education from what I remember Ferris was really good student who just wanted to take one day break from school and I guess it is about a point in High School when you start feeling adultish and people around you treat you as a kid. And also when it comes to education you can't say there aren't problems. In FB you see Ben Stein holding a very boring class and I guess almost everybody encountered classes and teachers that bore them and it is I guess a fact that schools and teachers are underplayed and it you get a feeling that real education gets shunned and is dysfunctional as it is.
For instance Noam Chomsky talks about this in documentary "Is The Man Who Is Tall Happy?"
There is also interesting bit on education by Michio Kaku

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
