I have very few intelligent things to say about this film save that there was little in it that struck me as false, save for A) the scene where a teacher bitches to his peers about how hard it is to try to get through to the kids and ALL his colleagues are sensitively standing at attention  and B) the scene at the end where the student proclaims “But I haven’t learned anything;” the sentiment was fine but the way it was staged was too direct for its own good.
