Plot: 1998. Ron Clark, still relatively early in his career, leaves his stable life teaching at an elementary school in his suburban North Carolina hometown, the school where he is appreciated by both his fellow teachers and his students for his innovative teaching methods which results in raising test scores. Instead, he decides to look for a teaching job at a tough New York inner city school where he feels he can be more useful. He eventually finds a job at Inner Harlem Elementary School, where the students are segregated according to their potential. As Clark is white and "nice" looking, Principal Turner wants to assign him to the honors class, especially as Turner's job security depends on good test scores. Clark, however, wants to take the most disadvantaged class. He quickly learns that it will be a battle of wills between himself and his disruptive students to see who can outlast the other. But he also learns that he has to understand them, both individually and collectively, on their level to be able to get through to them before he can teach them the standardized materials. But even the best laid plans can be turned askew by unforeseen events, such as illness and the behavior of others outside of his control. And he has to overcome the self-fulfilling prophecy of failure to instill a sense of worth within the students. Through it all, he is supported by Marissa Vega, the beautiful waitress at the restaurant where he works part-time.

Quotes:

Ron Clark: New York public schools are desperate for good teachers. Newspaper says they're begging for them. Dad, every year I tell my students to go for what they want in life - dream big, take risks. It's time I start living up to my own words.

Ron Clark: Y'landa, good morning. Do you have a list of the public schools in Harlem?::Y'landa: Sure I do, baby. [Y'landa hands him the phonebook]::Ron Clark: Okay, thank you.::Y'landa: What do you want school listings for?::Ron Clark: I'm a teacher.::Y'landa: And you wanna teach - up in Harlem?::Ron Clark: Yes.::Y'landa: Well then, honey, you're gonna need something else. Personal injury lawyers. [she flips through the phone book] Cause once your white behind goes on up in there they be carrying you back up the same way you went in. What kind of foolishness is this? Going on up there and all trying to teach? You know you ain't gonna...::Ron Clark: Okay thank you.

It's not even what they can achieve. The problem is what you expect them to achieve. You are setting the bar here. Why? Set it up here! They can make it.::Principal Turner: This community judges us by scores. Government funding judges us by scores. People who give me scores, they get my respect.::Ron Clark: Okay good. In May, they'll all test at grade level.::Principal Turner: [sighs] I don't see how that's possible.::Ron Clark: Excuse me. Did I say grade level? I meant above grade level.

Quotes:

Ben Holmes: Quoting Bishop Jeremy Taylor, "Marriage hath in it less of beauty but more of safety, than the single life; it hath more care, but less danger, it is more merry, and more sad; it is fuller of sorrows, and fuller of joys; it lies under more burdens, but it is supported by all the strengths of love and charity, and those burdens are delightful."

Ben Holmes: Are you going to be here when I get back?::Sarah Lewis: You know me.::Ben Holmes: I would not presume.

Sarah Lewis: I don't deserve heaven.::Ben Holmes: Oh Sarah, you deserve so much more than you think you do.

Ben Holmes: I haven't known you that long, but I think there may be something wrong with you.

Sarah Lewis: Two wayward travellers stuck in a Geo with a guy named Vic.

Sarah Lewis: What other options do we have? We have no options. None!::Ben Holmes: Yet somehow they seem more appealing than this.

Ben Holmes: Bridge, ya know, I mean, what I always thought was that there was this one, one perfect person for everybody in the world, you know, and when you found that person, uh, the rest of the world just kinda magically faded away and... and you know, the two of you would just be inside this kind of protective bubble. But there is no bubble, or if there is, we have to make it. I just think life is more than a series of moments, you know, it's... it's... we can make choices and we can choose to protect the people we love and that's what makes us who we are, and those are the real miracles! Stop me when it becomes glaringly obvious that I have no idea what I am talking about...

Ben Holmes: Sometimes the people we meet change us forever.

Ben Holmes: Sarah, everybody loves you, you just... you just think they're all wrong.
