low rating, no awards... why???


just seen it again: this is one of my favourite movies of all times! its probably jacksons best performance and an extremely important movie - not only for the topic of schools in social weak areas but for the universal topic of teaching!
beside that it has a really great score and a good staging!

why does it have such a low rating, what were the flaws?

i somehow get the impression that the setting of the movie is attracting just the wrong audience/ alienating the rest!?
