| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
François and his fellow teachers prepare for a new
year at a high school in a tough neighborhood. Armed with
the best intentions, they brace themselves to not let discouragement
stop them from trying to give the best education to their
students.
Cultures and attitudes often clash in the classroom, a microcosm
of contemporary France. As amusing and inspiring as the teenaged
students can be, their difficult behavior can still jeapordize
any teacher's enthusiasm for the low-paying job. François
insists on an atmosphere of respect and diligence. Neither
stuffy nor severe, his extravagant frankness often takes the
students by surprise. But his classroom ethics are put to
the test when his students begin to challenge his methods...
