Eastside High was out of control...until Joe Clark took it back.
Drama
Synopsis
When principal Joe Clark takes over decaying Eastside High School, he's faced with students wearing gang colors and graffiti-covered walls. Determined to do anything he must to turn the school around, he expels suspected drug dealers, padlocks doors and demands effort and results from students, staff and parents. Autocratic to a fault, this real-life educator put it all on the line.

>"Discipline is not the enemy of enthusiasm!" **Rest in peace - In honor of Joe Clark** Coming from a teacher family, this movie hit me on a lot of levels. The opening scene where it shows how bad things have gotten has reminded me of what is going on these days, and I think with some willingness to help and with some discipline (key word), things can get better. Subtracting half a star because I found out my favorite scene in the movie never happened in real life. The rest is pretty true though.

Maybe it is because I had a teacher that was very much like Joe Clark, or maybe it is because I think just like these kinds of stories, but Lean On Me is one of my favourite movies from "way-back-when" and still gives me that warm fuzzy feeling when watching. Recommended to anyone that likes biographical films.

I never realized it until now, but this is one of my favorite movies of all time. This is Anytown, USA. We've all seen these schools and some of us have been to them. Unfortunately, not all of them have Morgan Freeman to clean it up.
