IMDb wrote:I saw this film at the T/F Film Festival in Columbia, Missouri in March of 2008. The subject matter is very touching and what the teachers put up with is amazing. I have always felt that teachers that deal with students with special needs are saints in their own right. Having students spit on you, call you 'fatso' are just some of the milder things you witness in this movie. The working class English dialect was literally impossible to understand. Every few minutes they would put up sub-titles for some reason and that would get me all excited that more were to follow. But, alas, after an hour of needing more subtitles and trying to really figure out what was going on in this "film" I was mentally worn out. I kept wishing for some voice over narration to help pull this film together. I left exhausted.

to really grasp the film however one really needs to work in these settings, as otherwise they wont fully comprehend what the staff and pupils go through on a daily basis.
a worth while watch for anyone, but a must for any educator worldwide.
