Teaching below the college level is difficult, particularly in inner cities where there's no particular respect for learning in so many families. Shakespeare is part of the curriculum in many schools, though one wonders how effective such learning is at age 16 when maybe one out of every hundred in the adult population would go to a Shakespearean performance even if the tickets were free. If a teacher is hapless enough to get a classroom of orphans and delinquents, teaching is even more difficult. Add to this a European post-war time when orphanages would be full-up and society is still chaotic, and you have a recipe for disaster unless, perhaps, you taught a subject like soccer. That's still not all. Imagine that the teacher is assigned to a class of tough and lonely kids who are not even the same age–that varies from 8 to 13–and the guy with the chalk is not some young, handsome, athletic type that the kids might identify with but an aging, bald fellow, why, you'd say there's no hope at all. Oops, one more thing. The principal of the school, Rachin (Francois Berleand) is not at all sympathetic to the new teacher and orders that he call the school director "sir."
