Good film, flawed, but good.
I saw this movie again recently and even though it was exaggerated a little, I thought it was pretty good. I went to both public and private schools in the 70s-80s and saw many of the same sort of teachers and administration in both types of school. I had teachers who didn’t care, who just couldn’t teach, and those who actually did try to engage the students and do a good job, and all of those types, although exaggerated a little, are portrayed here. I’ve also seen clueless principals who just hid out in their offices all day and were in their car driving away 5 minutes before the final bell rang.Around the time the movie was released, I read a news story about a girl who was valedictorian of her school, in the National Honors Society, but flunked out of college due to being unable to read because of dyslexia and she ended up suing her school.
This wasn’t clearly the case in the film, but should a student who can’t perform to a minimum academic standard or doesn’t even show up for class and turn in work still pass and get a diploma?
The fact the school was more concerned with with its image than with addressing the issue is something I also saw in school growing up and even now. In my area recently, a local doctor sued his son’s former school over unrefunded tuition money. He claimed his son was bullied there for a couple of years and complaints and meetings with school officials didn’t help, so he enrolled his son elsewhere. When he unenrolled his son, the school would only refund the unused portion of tuition if the father signed a confidentiality agreement stating he wouldn’t discuss what went on there. Sound familiar?
Although a bit over the top, Teachers is an example of what went on, and probably still goes on, in schools and is worth seeing.
Halfway Between Drama and Sitcom But Schizoid
Recently saw this 80s Arthur Hiller directed mess, entitled “Teachers”. I’m not sure if the screenwriters or director know what they’re trying to make, a faux-play mockery of teachers, or some heartfelt drama about a burnt out one, the lead character played well by Nick Nolte. There’s no denying that there are some genuine moments in “Teachers” that do pretty well and hit some good notes, including some well written dialog – more so in the first 2/3rd of runtime. However, a good movie has focus and continuity of tone, and this one sorely lacks both. The way the teachers, school board-members, and staff interact is buffoonery and sitcomish. You have a kid getting shot, and a woman stripping in the middle of the halls – while pranks, smoking, and statutory rape are all thrown together as side shows. The tone of this movie is all over the place. It’s a good thing Nolte helps to somewhat ground all the cheap tricks with his deep voice and sage-like countenance – he alone makes the movie bearable. 6/10 Borderline recommended.
