'Lean on Me' Teacher Moment for Price's Class

The environment of this movie 'Lean on Me' is one of a failing high school where everyone has lost faith in the school, the teachers, and the students. A new principal comes into the school and makes a lot of changes. First seen as harsh but quickly realized that he only wants the best for students that have once been seen to fail.

The students have changed their opinion of school and now do not want to be seen as inferior, worthless students/citizens. They have found someone to believe in them, hold them to higher standards and expect a better future from them. The students now believe in achieving because they have been shown the way.

The curriculum was once failing. The school could not pass the basic skill tests and the teachers had given up on the curriculum. The day of the video you can feel the hope of the school. They changed the curriculum to make learning fun. The teachers worked incredibly hard to encourage the students to learn. This is a great movie and puts the term 'turn around school' into perspective.
