Joe's story is pure bullshyt and the worst thing to happen to up-and-coming black teachers, who feel that they have to yell at and belittle black children to gain "respect".

tl;dr - Dude never went to jail. The school was never in danger of being taken over. The test score improvements were minimal. And the only people he got rid of were truants - hardly the drug dealers and gangsters we see in the movie.

Also, black educators hated him because of the way he treated the students and the staff. You know who loved Joe Clark? WHITE PEOPLE.

Yeah there is that, on the other side of it, there are people like John Jerome Harris that raised the test scores and improved the attitudes of children.

There have been whole conferences on the workings of black teachers to improve their students' attendance, grades and behaviour.

The point is, you taking it too far when you trying to get nikkas to jump off the roof. If he wasn’t trying to get nikkas to jump off a roof then he was just a regular good teacher.

There are Black principals like him all over the US. Their retention rate is shyt, their test scores are in the toilet, and they’ve alienated like 1/3 of the parents in their neighborhood.

Being an a$$hole, “act tough” principal doesn’t work - he was an aberration.

I had a “tough” principal in HS and she kicked 1/2 our class out of the school by my 3rd year of high school. Derailed the lives of some brilliant, but misguided, students.
I think k alot of students would benefit from a school to.work program.

Get them a job and have them working half the school day. Saved my life...I probably would've failed my senior year but luckily my principal recognized I was smart just fukking tired of class work and didn't apply myself if I wasn't interested.

But without fail, when his story is brought up, nobody ever brings up the students who just wanted to go to school to learn.
You mean the dominant story for decades that was so useful Ronald Reagan made it a key part of his education public relations campaign? :ohhh:
