I remember I saw this movie the first time in the mid 90's, and I was stunned by the plot and the hilarious comments by Morgan Freeman, who remains one of my favorite actors. I love the way he kicks the establishments ass during the whole movie, and you understand his commitment for the kids on the school. Outstanding supporting actors as well, especially Lynne Thigpen who does one of her best roles as the parent from hell... Seeing it as I did yesterday on cable, makes this movie stand out as one of the best school movies made. The emphasis here is clearly acting as well as realism, and the mix is well blended and the movie still stands out today.
