Factory Sealed brand new dvd In an Emmy® and a Golden Globe® Award nominated effort, Matthew Perry (17 Again) delivers a "...tour-de-force performance" (Boston Herald) as real-life inspiration Ron Clark, a passionate and innovative teacher who leaves his small hometown to teach in one of Harlem's toughest schools. But to break through to his students, Clark must use unconventional methods, including his ground-breaking classroom rules, to drive them toward their greatest potential.
This is a quality movie which tells an inspiring story about life with its heart wrenching struggles and successes. More than anything it reveals the truth about how being a teacher is a calling not a job. This is a movie about connections. The connection between a teacher and his students, a teacher, as a person, and his students' parent and a connection with the teacher and his inner compass. A must see!!
