A fine acting job again by Hillary Swank who portrays a new school teacher who has to cope with a wild bunch of students in a low income neighborhood. It is the story of how she takes over a class of freshman students and how she changes their attitude as she leads them through their freshman and junior year of school. Patrick Dempsey is very good as the husband of Hillary who is left feeling ignored by her passsion for teaching these students. This is a struggle to continue teaching these improving students into their junior and senior years with Hillary Swank teaching these same students. This will not win any academy awards but it is an interesting few hours to see this fine film.
