I see things haven't change in England since the movie "To Sir with Love".
Yes! I thought Sydney Poitier straightened out everything years ago! :)
Oh I do remember that one! The American equivalent was "Up The Down Staircase!"! The trouble is: In those movies; it seemed like most, if not all, problems were always solved at the end. Then the teacher/teachers ended up being the respected heroes/heroines that all students just miraculously and suddenly respected and loved. That doesn't always happen in real life. There it seems, you win some and you lose some!
