As a teacher of 30+ years, I related to the comedy, the drama, the tears and the cheers of this funny, funny movie. Saw so many people that I have taught with over the years. How refreshing! Someone finally did it right!!!!! Do NOT miss this movie. I have told all of my colleagues that it would be a great way to end the school year with a hearty belly laugh. Hopefully, it will go into wide, wide distribution so that everyone in the nation will get a chance to see it. Can the TV series be far behind? I could've have fallen out of my seat when they showed the scene where the kids steal his chalk - happened to me in my first year of teaching. Too funny for words! Keep up the good work, Mike and Chris and all who are involved in this riotous project.
