François and his fellow teachers prepare
for a new year at a
high school in a tough neighborhood. Armed with the best
intentions, they brace themselves to not let discouragement
stop them from trying to give the best education to their
students.
Cultures and attitudes often clash in the classroom, a
microcosm of contemporary France. As amusing and inspiring
as the teenaged students can be, their difficult behavior
can still jeapordize any teacher's enthusiasm for the
low-paying job. François insists on an atmosphere of respect
and diligence. Neither stuffy nor severe, his extravagant
frankness often takes the students by surprise. But his
classroom ethics are put to the test when his students begin
to challenge his methods...
