You can tell that he really cared about Sam's, he took it really easy on him at the end when he told him calmly to go back down stairs, he just wanted to get his point across and I always believed that Mr Clark was low-key proud of him because out of all the other kids that were kicked out Sam's was the only one that came back for one more chance, I think Mr Clark respected him for that, I love this movie, definitely a true classic......

Back in the mid eighties in my high school I had a teacher do something like this for me. I was messed up on drugs and had no direction. I thought I was tough and said under my breathe "F..k off" This guy was retired Navy and there was zero chance he was going to take that. Right in front of all the students he put one hand on the side of my head and the other hand smacked me hard to the other side. I had a choice right then... Take it like a man or a little bitch. I knew he cared about me. Within 2 months I had quit smoking, drugs, and alcohol. I never went back. Halloween is 35 years sober. My teacher helped save my life. Thank you Mr. White RIP

That's why kids over there are way more advanced in school subjects.

An example of one of those teachers is someone who is never spoken about. There was a former Jeopardy tournament champion who was a hardnose teacher from the streets of Chicago name Colby Burnett.

The Oscars never done right for people of color. They mainly gave it to them if they were playing maids, slaves, criminals, abusive parents or slut bed-wenches. Hell they didn't even do right for some white actors either like Leo.

Unfortunately, the system often does not allow for it. Sometimes administrators are actually scored and evaluated on how many students get suspended etc. So even if they are running a tight ship, when evaluated, it can reflect poorly upon them.

There's plenty of educators like that, they aren't allowed to demand anything from blacks, because that would be waycisst.

I need this as a ringtone “You smoke crack don’t ya?!” On a loop

I grew up on the south west side of Chicago, and i had a teacher just like this, he changed my life forever. He inspired goals and aspirations in me i never knew I had. You don't see people like this today and we desperately need people like this to straighten up and help the young souls who are lost.

“You tryna con a con man” 😭 total bad ass line 😎😂

I was lucky enough to have a few teachers in my life that had the balls to talk to me like this. I’d like to believe it made a difference. I hope it did.

This scene was an eye opener for real cause it really makes you feel like he’s the real father that these teens needed and this was before beyond scared straight

@@brandonjackson3641 there's always been "scared straight" programs(which should kinda prove how useless they've always been) If screaming and yelling at the kid solved the problem, the worst households imaginable would have the most productive kids coming out of them. I mean, in watching the show, and my experience dealing with different kinds of people, I would guess maybe like %0.0001 of the population(nationally, so like maybe tens of thousands across all of America, aka a very miniscule amount) actually digest those experiences the way it's supposed to. But for almost every other kid put through them it just doesn't fucking work.

Straight up though frfr

Can't watch this without thinking of In Living Color's parody "Lean On Me, Beautiful", where Joe is sent to a beauty school. He confronts one student and forces him to admit he wears chemicals in his hair, that he's ugly, and that his parents are ugly, too. The kid who played Sams got busted about 10 years ago for buying 200 lbs of pot. The cops later found another 100 lbs in his apartment. He skated with probation, but was caught with 5 or 6 lbs of weed in 2018 and got a suspended sentence and probation instead. Amusingly enough, the sole bit of trivia on his IMDB page is that he became a grandfather at age 34.

God bless Joe Clark and Rest In Peace. A true icon in our profession of teaching. His influences despite being old in their methods, will forever be respected.

We watched this in my junior year of high school. I remember everyone saying “You smoke crack don’t ya” for weeks 😂

This movie had such powerful scenes.

Morgan never acts man hes just that OG I swear

This is such an amazing film. Saw it as a kid, watched it a ton, and it never gets old.

What a film. WOW!! Just can't help but love him. The greatest fact about this film is it's based on a true story. Blew me away. ❤

Honestly a lot of kids needs this type of care and love, especially in our urban communities

Fav scene!! Intense, Powerful, Brilliant, and inspirational!!

I found this VHS at my grandma's house when I was a kid. Had no idea what it was but damn it was intense. I had a lot of respect for Mr. Clark because I knew first hand how kids act when there's no structure and no one willing to put their foot down and lead by example. When you see that the BOSS isn't gonna budge then you either fail out or fall in line. My favorite part of this film was seeing the halls all cleaned up and hearing the new high school anthem. These kids gained respect for their Principal and their school but more importantly, respect for themselves and each other.

Wish we had more Mr. clarkes in today society.

We definitely need more principles like him in these schools today.

Can't hide your sins from either God or Joe Clark!

This is one of my favorite scenes, a real dose of reality

imagine if this tactic backfired on Mr. Clark? Clark: GO! JUMP! kid: ok.... SPLAT!! Clark: well.......shit

Boy do we need more of this these days!

Mr. Clark knew the kid was as good as back in the class room and trying again as soon as he saw him. The rest was just for effect.

“Go on.. jump” 😂 omg.... One of my fav movies 🎥. Jersey..... 🦾

I wish we still had principles and teachers that actually care like this

"If you want to kill yourself don't fuck around with it, go on and do it expeditiously!" My favorite line in the whole movie.

I've loved this movie since I was nine years old. This is what amazing acting looks like

In the In Living Color parody, Joe Clark is sent to run a beauty school and he berates a student for using products on his hair and forces him to admit that he's ugly and that his parents are ugly as well and has no business telling anyone how to be beautiful while the student cries just like in this scene.
