superb story of a dedicated young teacher who sets out teaching minority children in an area off south carolina. jon voight is just tremendous as the headstrong and dedicated and idealistic teacher who faces this challenge despite a principal and who believes in stern discipline and has little regard for modern educational techniques as well as a crusty old school superintendent and played with relish by the late hume cronyn. madge sinclair is the principal who loves her babies. as i am a retired teacher and i could in some ways relate to this excellent film. the ignorance shown here as well as the lack of cooperation with officials is also quite apparent in urban areas. voight realizes that these children need far more than the traditional teachings of a classroom. he has them go out and experience life by themselves by learning outdoors. the end is a definite downer but so true to life. amazing that such backward students had a zest for learning and were well disciplined. i guess that answers my question. the behavior was there and they were motivated to succeed despite their environment. the ending will just tug at your heart. it was memorable and so well poignant.
