I've actually met Joe Clark, I couldn't stand the SOB, the guy came to speak at my college, wearing a purple suit, a top hat with a feather in it, and a cane. I talked to him, and he was a first class arrogant simplitic twit.

Alot of people have stated that the movie, by and large, has serious credibility problems, and either falsified parts or exagerrated in general. I like the methods used in the movie, but in real life, many of those methods, were in fact not used. I do belief that if some kid doesn't want to learn, he shouldn't have to, just toss him out on his rear, that'll bring disipline back real quick.
