What Blackboard Jungle Is About
Richard Dadier takes a teaching job at an inner-city vocational school. What he meets in the classroom is not indifference but open hostility, and the staff room has already given up. Neither authority nor friendliness gets him anywhere, and he is threatened outside the building too. The film's most famous element is its opening: Rock Around the Clock over the credits, which carried rock and roll into cinemas nationwide and had teenagers tearing out seats. Brooks presents the school not as an isolated problem but as the world in miniature.
