 There's a Lesson For Us All March 1, 2010
J. Moore (Jonesville, NC USA)
After seeing this movie I now appreciate my own high school days even though I hated the experience at the time. Like this movie alcohol & drug abuse were in abundance at Starmount High. We also had student pranks too. But never anything serious enough to call on the local police to handle. And no one ever brought guns to school that I knew of. It makes me glad to be raised in small town America during the 1970's when crime wasn't much of a problem. In Teachers the staff of JFK High & the school board are being sued by a former student who went all the way through the school system but he can't read or write. Nick Nolte plays Alex Jurel a teacher burnt out by the school system. His other film credits include Return To Macon County (1975) 48 Hours (1984)& the Incredible Hulk (2003). Jobeth Williams plays Lisa Hammond a former JFK student. She is now a lawyer for the student filing the lawsuit. Morgan Freeman also appears as a school board member. Royal Dano plays Ditto JFK's most boring teacher. I'm not sure but this may be one of Dano's final film roles. His earlier work includes a few guest shots on tv's Bonanza. Richard Mulligan is Hilarious as an escapee from a mental hospital posing as a history teacher. Mulligan is perhaps best remembered for the sitcom Soap. Allen Garfield plays a teacher named Mr. Rosenberg. Garfield's earlier roles include a 1970's episode of Gunsmoke titled The Fires Of Ignorance. Ironically he plays a school teacher here. The plot of this episode is nearly identical to Teachers. Judd Hirsch plays vice principal Rubell. Hirsch is best known for the sitcom Taxi. William Schallert-how could we forget that name? Here he plays principal Horn. His earlier tv work includes Professor Promfitt on The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis Martin ''Poppo''Lane on The Patty Duke Show & The New Gidget tv series(early 1980's). Schallert has also done many many other tv guest roles & movies too many to list here. Ralph Macchio plays Eddie Pilikian a student with a huge learning problem. Macchio's best known roles are The Outsiders(1983) & The Karate Kid trilogy(1984-1989). Not much has been heard of him since. Crispin Glover plays Danny Reece a scared guy who's a bit psycho. Glover's other roles include My Tutor(1983) & the Back To The Future trilogy(1985-1990). Like Ralph Macchio Glover did a few roles in between but he hasn't been heard from recently. Laura Dern plays a student who gets pregnant by a teacher. She went on to star in the Jurassic Park movies. She hasn't been heard of in quite awhile now. Teachers is an entertaining movie that exposes everything that's wrong with school systems today. It's also a very funny movie too. Enjoy!

Being a teacher myself, I have always loved this movie and wanted to switch over from VHS to DVD. To me this is a classic to have and watch. The school psychologist in the movie acts and losses it just like the one we had in my building; hope that is not indicative of the position and mindset!lol

some students. Several familiar stars in good roles. Recommended all.
