Think of \u201cTraining Day,\u201d \u201cDirty Harry,\u201d \u201cDie Hard,\u201d \u201cLethal Weapon,\u201d \u201cThe Untouchables,\u201d and the best of all, \u201cSerpico.\u201d After all only a small fraction of us have had careers in law enforcement and most of us were never in real trouble, but we\u2019ve all been in classrooms and we should we fascinated by stories about teachers, comparing the movie pedagogues with our own.  Wait.  On second thought, there are at least one hundred movies about classrooms that are considered among the best, including \u201cElection,\u201d \u201cChalk,\u201d \u201cThe English Teacher,\u201d \u201cNapoleon Dynamite,\u201d \u201cSchool of Rock,\u201d and my favorite, \u201cFerris Bueller\u2019s Day Off.\u201d  So maybe our own experience in classrooms is mirrored by quite a number of shows about our favorite mentors and our worst nightmares.<\/p>\n<p>Now comes what the marketing people might call a feel good movie.  It\u2019s \u201cAbout a Teacher,\u201d and though happily not a documentary, it follows the experience of an award-winning instructor who felt like quitting during his first year in an inner-city school. Since his favorite word is \u201cperseverance,\u201d he struggled through the first two years, was almost fired before beginning even a second semester, and went on to guide students into using the imparted knowledge to win many thousands of dollars in awards from festivals and the like.  <\/p>\n<p>Writer-director Hanan Harchol also has a bit role of \u201cMr. Caldwell,\u201d an assistant principal who in real life is the great man who helped create careers of his rambunctious students in a tough school. The title character is played by Dov Tiefenbach, known to his students as Mr. Harchol, or just Mister, or Mr. H.  At the same time Harchol\u2019s fellow teachers call each other Mr. or Ms., rarely by first names, which in my experience might have been the case before the mid-1960s when we had to wear jackets and ties but now just first names and a t-shirt are de rigueur.  The current dress code is good enough for Mark Zuckerberg, and it was good enough for me\u2014and for Hanan.<\/p>\n<p>You would think that Hanan Harchol would have no problem even from the first day since, after all, he is not teaching algebra, which might be of little interest to teens in almost any high school, but instructs them in film making.  Here the kids have something to do with their hands.  They don\u2019t sit still facing the front of the room listening to long lectures or trying to participate in subjects they can\u2019t really get their minds into.  Instead, Harchol faces the indifference so dismaying in \u201cPrecious,\u201d in which that title character, sitting in a history class where students are simply talking to each other and ignoring the instructor, bops a kid on the head with a notebook, demanding that the whole class pay attention.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the discipline problems facing Harchol during his first year, he gets into frequent tiffs with Ms. Murray (Leslie Hendrix), the department chair, who could easily fit into a role as Ilsa Koch, the Nazi commandant at Buchenwald concentration camp.  She will turn out to have a heart of gold, though, which makes us recall that people wear masks to cover their real feelings and attitudes.<\/p>\n<p>So the kids are a problem.  When one of them refuses to turn off his computer, Harchol moves to turn it off himself. The youngster grabs him by the wrist, inflaming the educator who yells \u201cGet out,\u201d notwithstanding that at a previous time, several of his pupils are roaming around the hall leading to an admonishing by an administrator for sending someone out of the classroom without supervision\u2014which could make him lose his license. Seeking a mentor (not realizing that Ms. Murray has been just that all along), he consults a young, attractive Ana Martinez (Aurora Leonard) whose algebra class quietly works at their desks, seeking to learn what she does to get such attention.  After receiving feedback from her, he is startled to hear her ask him a key question: \u201cDo you like the kids?\u201d  Aha.  A genuine affection for your charges will be felt by them, and you\u2019ve won half the battle.<\/p>\n<p>I related strongly to the discussions in the faculty lounge, which features the burnt-out Mr. McKenna (Tyler Hollinger), whom Ana Martinez calls an a**hole.  There is considerable grousing when the department chair conducts a meeting, telling the men and women about the demands of the state: lesson plan every day, suitable for inspection.  Call each parent of every failing student.  Keep the pace: do not fall behind, spending too much time on one project.  <\/p>\n<p>Inevitably Harchol cannot avoid taking his problems home, where his sometimes bored wife has to listen to her husband\u2019s tales of woe when all she wants to do is to get some sleep.  But when they clash on whether to start a family, you might think the marriage can go belly-up just as Harchol may get fired from his job.  Harchol notes several times that he received an MFA from one of the country\u2019s most prestigious schools, which makes one wonder why he did not opt to get a gig at least in a community college. It\u2019s not as though he carried with him a liking for teens, so what\u2019s the deal?  Since the story is based closely on real life, I would like to know the answer, especially since hell, the maximum pay right now in New York City public schools, one of the highest paying municipalities in the country, is $119,000, but you have to work 25 years and have a Master\u2019s plus 60 credits to get there.  A lawyer getting a fairly decent job right out of law school can make that at age twenty-four.  So can a pharmacist.  So can a lot of people.<\/p>\n<p>Harchol deals with individual problems of some of his charges, including one girl who had been \u201churt\u201d by her mother\u2019s boyfriend from the age of five to the age of nine, and another who sleeps in class because he has two jobs after school and has to look after a child, though he is only seventeen.  In the end comes a Hallmark statement by Ms. Murry, who notes (decades before the coronavirus business), that we have little control over many things, but that \u201cthe only thing we have is the ability to give away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you do not expect the movie to be as lively as \u201cFerris Bueller\u2019s Day Off,\u201d or chaotic and violent like \u201cTo Sir With Love,\u201d or as wacky as \u201cTeachers\u201d (an escaped mental patient serves a day as a substitute), or as horrific as \u201cNever Let Me Go,\u201d you should have a good time enjoying the inevitable rise of Harchol from a miserable failure to brilliant educator.  No, that\u2019s not a spoiler: you already know the trajectory.  It\u2019s quite well played by Dov Tiefenbach, though at the age of 38 he seems long in tooth to perform as  a beginning teacher.  He has particularly interesting conversations in a coffee shop with his dad (Tibor Feldman), who makes fun of his son\u2019s gig entertaining restaurant guests with his guitar but is proud of the lad\u2019s choice to be a teacher.   <\/p>\n<p>The students, who may be improving much of the dialogue, were actual pupils of Harchol who came back to play themselves at age seventeen.  As their teacher said to them many time, \u201cgood job.\u201d This is Hanan Harchol\u2019s freshman film, though he may be known to some at the helm of the short, animated TV episodes of \u201cJewish Food for Thought.\u201dWe look forward to his next venture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>112 minutes.  \u00a9 2020 by Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/p>\n<p>Story \u2013 B+<br \/>\nActing
