Quotes:

Evan: Mr. Collins makes the rules, and he's saying sixty-forty. You can pay us the extra ten percent later.
Bill Rander: There's no profit in it, Evan.
Evan: You wanna whine to Mr. Collins? Go ahead, call him. I'm just picking up the cash.
Bill Rander: But this is ridiculous!
Evan: Look, get real, Bill. We have other lots. They all unload more cars than you do. You could disappear tomorrow and Mr. Collins wouldn't notice. You want the cars or not?
Bill Rander: Collins isn't the only guy with cars, you know.
Evan: Bill, don't ever think about going behind his back.

Great For New Teachers- A Teacher's Crime Rates A+ ****

Has anyone noticed that Ashley Jones resembles a rather youthful Hillary Clinton?

Jones portrays a recently separated teacher who has won the teacher of the year award for going that extra mile for her social studies students. Problem is that by going that extra mile, she falls victim to a diabolic plot hatched by one of her excellent students along with his crooked uncle. New teachers should take note: Don't get overly involved.

Nice to see that factual information is included in one of the teacher's lessons. I am referring to the April, 1949 date of the beginning of NATO. Nowadays, facts are deemphasized for more critical thinking. That's why our students do so poorly on history exams. The lack of basic factual information is not there. Yes, the author of this review is a retired social studies teacher.

The movie is intriguing as you are shown how the teacher is set up.

It is certainly worthwhile viewing.
