Storyline

A teenage girl is caught petting with the bus driver during an outing. The school's parent council discusses her punishment. One parent, a psychologist, suggests that her behavior is not abnormal or worthy of expulsion. He describes teen girls' experiments with sex, and these dramatized vignettes, interspersed with man-in-the-street interviews with young women about their attitudes and experiences, make a case for 60's generation's attitude of independence. The girls argue for telling the truth in the face of post-war German convention. In the end, will Renata be expelled or recognized as a girl from a new era?

Oh those wacky Germans

A school advisory board gather to decide the fate of one of it's girl students who was found having sex with her bus driver in this German soft-core porn. Filmed as a faux-documentary (with some real life and some faked interviews interspersed between the little stories of various girls gone 'wild'), the main purpose is to titillate more than educate, and it does it's job adequately if not particularly well. This was the first in a LONG line (11 sequels!!) of "Schoolgirl Reports", and while it was enjoyable enough, I didn't see anything that special as to warrant one sequel much less that many. Just chalk it up to a case of "oh those wacky Germans". For a better film along the same lines, in my opinion, you should catch 1978's "Fantasm"
