Horrible watch, will not watch again, and actively recommend you avoid this movie.
This is the first movie where I felt the need to call child protective services and put all the adult actors involved on a watch list.
I'm just saying ...
Lower Learning
2008Movie97 minEnglish
Barry Goldwater Elementary is on the brink of collapse: the lowest test scores in the state, teachers who are either drunk or having sex on school grounds, and a principal who extorts money from parents. It's up to Tom, the down-on-his-luck vice-principal, to rally the lazy teachers, expose the principal's corruption, and turn the school around before an end of the day board decision.
