 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Teachers is a 1984 satirical dramedy film directed by Arthur Hiller.It's an average day at John F. Kennedy High School in Columbus, Ohio: Fights in the hallways, a stabbing, 10% of teachers failing to even show up, and lawyers in the office champing at the bit with depositions.After the school psychologist has a mental breakdown, Alex Jurel (Nick Nolte) is tasked with the job and his first task is helping delinquent Eddie Pilikian (Ralph Macchio).Among the supporting cast are Crispin Glover as Eddie's bullied best friend, Laura Dern as one of the popular students, Judd Hirsch as the assistant principal, Richard Mulligan as a psychiatric hospital inmate turned history teacher, Lee Grant as the school superintendent, JoBeth Williams as a lawyer for a recent graduate who's suing the school for giving him a diploma even though he can't read, and Morgan Freeman (in an early film role) as a lawyer for the school.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Actor Allusion: Gower dresses up as General George Custer for his lesson on the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Richard Mulligan had played Custer years earlier in Little Big Man.

 Adult Fear: This is a school where the teachers are either apathetic, jaded, a bit crazy themselves, or even molesting one of the students. This is on top of stabbings being normal business and a kid bringing a gun to school.

comment
 Adults Are Useless: Played for Drama: The ineptitude of the teachers in even keeping the kids safe, let alone imparting knowledge to them, is indicative of how terrible things are. It is school policy to let inept students pass, whether or not they can even read or write.

 Ambiguous Disorder: Danny Reese seems to suffer from some unspecified mental illness, his odd behavior (often endangering himself and others) goes far beyond that of the typical juvenile delinquent or high school social outcast.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
