This is a very special film for teenagers and parents! It is my lifetime favorite movie filled with the joys of teaching poetry (creative thinking) at a private elite Vermont school. Beautiful scenery, and poignant scenes from the private lives of students and their creative teacher's first year assignment at a preparatory school will whisk you into the complexities of growing up and the impact of a teacher. It is about life, what it means to grow up and think for ourselves. It shows the dangers of dominate parenting and how scapegoating is a multiplied tragedy. Seize the day!
