I have a lot of issues with this movie, i have a lot of issues with education, since Neill's Summerhill is my favorite book. Many of these issues, & others are cleverly skirted, and this makes for a stronger picture. Many scenes are heavy handed, the ending especially, and still Meryl's genuineness shines through.

First half is kind of nice, but when it advances ten years in time, it gets so boring and endless. Some fine acting from Meryl and a well-intentioned real-life story that just don't get proper treatment on screen. It also hasn't aged well if we think how this fits into the "white savior" narrative discussion.
