"To Sir With Love" (1967) INDb makes me remember  why I never became a high school teacher . . .  and why I'll never be able to get teaching out of my soul. Sydney Poitier's dynamic performance in this film portrayal of E.R. Braithwaite's novel gives glimpses into some of the challenges of the classroom environment and glances of an era. My, those dresses and dos are something to behold! I wish though, that we had been permitted to behold a most interesting interview that I remember with the original author, Braithwaite, that TVO must have stashed in their archives somewhere.
