The background of the story is Garfield High School in Los Angeles, which is dominated by children of South American immigrants. Iskrate, who used to work in a computer company, came to the school to teach in order to fulfill his ambition. Because the school was short of funds and had no computers, he had to change to teach mathematics. He used his powerful teaching method to tame the rude students led by Philip, and helped them pass the skipping exam with high marks, but was unexpectedly suspected of being a group cheating. In order to clarify the misunderstanding, the students decided to retake the exam. The teachers and students cooperated closely, and finally set a record for the number of qualified students, and also won the school's funds to buy computers.

Technique trumps content. Perhaps the focus of the whole film has never been the inspiration of poor students, but the racial issues and the significance of the times behind it are the core. Motivating enough, yet boring enough...
