Equally bankrupt is the widespread policy of giving teachers a raise every time they pass a course after hours-any course, including "Mickey Mouse" guts like driver education.

Bradley Marable as Jim's mother is also excellent, delivering the line "Dey ain't many strong. Dey ain't many happy neider" with moving compassion...
