This is a made for TV film called "Teachers." Manny Cortez (Esai Morales) worked long shifts so he could move his family into a shoe box located in the Westbrook High district. His dream is for his daughter to attend Westbrook, the best high school in the state of North Carolina. To everyone's dismay, the school is going to shutdown next year to save money. Dr. Christine (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) a former student of Westbrook is brought in to be the interim principal, change teachers' methods, and make a lay-off list. The teachers, parents, students rally etc. etc.

This is a formula film. The teachers are the best because they are involved in the personal lives of their students and do one on one mentoring. They are dedicated to their students and community and get respect. Oh the school did have a fight.

This is a feel good film that has the right messages. It does bring in "God" about 50 minutes into the film and there is one mention of Jesus at 58 minutes. Not heavily religious.

Good film for the tweens, a simple feel good drama.
