...individual; she is always the doting and misguided parent. Beyerly Lawrence, however, does quite well in the confusing part of the mother's friend; it is a fuzzy hole because the script never adequately explains why she let herself be picked up in the first place.

...things began to change. Each year, as Michael Solomon greeted his first class ("Salve, pueri ..."), he noticed that there were fewer & fewer faces before him. One by one, his colleagues left the school, for the time came when there were not enough pupils to go around. Last year, out of 4,000 students in DeWitt Clinton High School, only 70 signed up for Latin, and the advanced and elementary classes had to be combined...
