There are two kinds of people: the crucified and the crucifiers. Only the former will appreciate a movie of the caliber of "Front of the Class." Only those who've had to overcome some sort of handicap and keep going against all odds, especially the ridicule of their peers, can sympathize with folks like Brad Cohen, an award winning, real life educator in spite of an incurable handicap called Tourette Syndrome that causes him to make uncontrollable noises.In a world that seems to be moving ever more toward a degree of conformity that would have Adolf Hitler's forces grow pale with envy, it is encouraging to hear testimonies of people like Brad Cohen who managed to make a difference, simply because they were determined never to give in to their weakness, but instead somehow learned to make it their strength.
If you've ever been some kind of an oddball, someone who didn't quite fit in or stuck out from the crowd you will love this movie.
Stories like this show what a biased and tough world we live in, and yet that we can overcome the bias and cruelty with the right attitudes and by educating people, which basically means, relieving them from the ignorance on which their bias is based.
