Yeah just got back from work and watched a random movie.
Lean On Me
A 1989 movie =D
Starring all time favorite Morgan Freeman =D
Haha
This story is about A renowned renegade as a teacher, Joe Clark is, with some reluctance of the local educational authorities, appointed to be the new principal of downtrodden, crime-filled, East Side High School in Paterson, NJ. In dramatic fashion, his first steps in transforming the school are identifying and expelling the many troublemakers that make East Side High a dangerous place, but these actions enrage some of the students, parents, and local residents.
Academically, the early results are marginal, but the students seem to be gaining a sense of pride in themselves. Unfortunately, an incident soon occurs in which a drug dealer who had been expelled comes into the school and a knife fight breaks out. Joe Clark is at the crossroads. How can he keep the drug dealers out and give the children of the school a fair chance to succeed academically? His solution, which is in violation of the local fire safety code, is to chain up most of the doors of the school, incensing some of the locals, especailly Mrs Barrett, who tries to have him arrested.
Clark is beginning to get some results with his students, who will soon take a minimum basic skills test upon which the future of the high school will rest, as the state of New Jersey is considering closing it as a failed academic institution. The authorities, sympathetic to Clark's predicament, don't want to arrest him before the children have had a chance to properly prepare for the exam, and they use stall tactics to stave off the increasingly vigilant Mrs. Barrett, who petitions the school board to have Clark replaced as principal.
To further appease Mrs. Barrett, Clark is arrested for conspiracy to violate the fire safety code, but his students rise up to demonstrate outside the high school. He is released from te local jail in the hope that he can appease them, but as he is addressing them, news arrives that the students have, as a group, passed the minuimum basic skills test, thereby saving the school, and making a hero of Principal Clark, whose unconventional methods have saved the day.
