Always enjoy the great acting skills of Morgan Freeman, who played the Principal, (Joe Clark) in this film and gave an outstanding performance. Poor Joe had to leave a very quite elementary school in Patterson, N.J., and take on the job as a high school Principal that was a complete Horror, something like the "Blackboard Jungle". Joe Clark had to deal with all kinds of dope pushers and students who spent four (4) years at the high school and could not even read or write. There was lots of shouting through out the entire picture and after a while, it got rather boring and unrealistic. If it were not for Morgan Freeman being in this picture, it would have fallen completely on its FACE !
