Ronald Calvin is new to the teaching environment he just received call from a school that put him on hold. There was an incident that left a student and a teacher in the hospital. The argument was apparently provoked by the student. at home Ronald watches the full review over he news and hops on his NETFLIX account and browses through some war movies and documentaries on dictators that show discipline and he takes notes.
His first day of work finally arrives. he walks through the metal gate that forked at the top ensuring that no one can go over the fence. There are bars on the window, the building has a cold feeling like being in a prison. he arrives at fifteen to eight and heads into the from office. There are no students to be seen. He asks the only secretary "where are al the students?" she replies that they show about twenty past the hour. Ronald is dressed in a grey suit, and put on a nice neck tie. the woman at the front desk in in her fifties, overweight, wearing a cardigan glasses with neck change.
Ronald wonders into the principles office has a very classic introduction. Juan Phanning is a man about discipline, wants no relationship with rouge students. Phanning provides Ronald with a cautionary tale.
Ronald runs through a day of class identifying who all of his students are and the roles that they play. In midst of watching a James bond special on Spike TV he is inspired to be a double agent at school. get on the students side hang out with them then once that they all think that they are on his side he will pull the plug.
His girlfriend is not happy about his plans but ignores her warnings. He winds up smoking with the stoners, gets involved with other crimes with the students. He begins to destroy his relationship with his girlfriend. After a couple weeks of crazy crime, drug abuse, and showing up later than the students at school. He lays in bed alone at home and looks through all the notes and all the careful planning has failed. The next morning he shaves puts a fresh suit on arrives to school the next early. When the students arrive, he has them form a circle of chairs and tells all of them his plans to screw them over.
The students have made friends with him and he has created a strong bond with him. Ronald lays on the new that he is going to lose his job if their grades don't improve. Phanning has made it clear to him that is his students don't pass the midterm that all the students will be kicked out of school and Ronald will not be able to teach in the entire county.
He has held the students back for a while and the rest of the movie the students are the only ones showing up on time to school. Ronald makes class fun for the students playing videos, games, and history reenactments. Later shots of the school is bright. gates are off the windows, a fresh coat of paint. The school looks very welcoming. The morning of the midterms one his students that had a rough home life was found shot and killed in the early morning. The rest of the students scored high and Ronald kept his job, his class graduated to the next grade and the school was renamed in memory of the student who died.
