Where's Coolio When We Need Him?

Do we really need another movie where a teacher comes into a ghetto school to make a difference? Haven’t Michele Pfeiffer and Morgan Freeman taken care of that tired cliche. While I don’t know much about the movie, I have gotten the “all students need is someone to care about them to succeed” vibe.

In reality, the teacher would probably be laughed or ridiculed out of the classroom, or the parents (who couldn’t give a good gawd-damn about their kids on any other day) would suddenly decide to take just enough interest to get the teacher fired -then sue the school district. .
