Movie description:
A new teacher arrives in a small French village but fails to find himself warmly greeted by his pupils, the students anticipating that he'll be as autocratic as their last instructor. Yet, the boys come to realize the man is different and grow attached to his new method of teaching, in fact develop a love for learning. Trouble is, the parents become suspicious, believing discipline and repetition are the only ways to enlighten. Will they manage to oust the professor before his methods prove worthy?
A very pleasant classic that should interest anyone involved in educating youngsters; based on a true story.
Soon after the Great War, the Provence village of Salezes gets a new boys' teacher: Mr. Pascal, a war hero with a diploma from a teachers' college. He rejects old methods: boys' sitting still with arms folded memorizing facts. He uses modern methods: he becomes their guide. The boys build a water-powered electric generator, interview their parents about shoe-making and cooking, draw, write poetry, and, after Pascal brings a box of type, put their own magazine together, printed on the backs of old ballots. Their new interest in critical thinking stirs opposition from the mayor and others. The teacher offers a deal: if even one student fails the national exam, he'll resign. All eyes are on Albert, an older youth who has failed three times.
