The boys, tired of their poor treatment, rise in revolt.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })This tale of student rebellion was seen as dangerous left-wing allegory in France and banned for years.

Cool Teacher: Huguet, the new teacher who arrives with the students at the start of term, who is the only teacher who isn't a pervert or a martinet. He does Charlie Chaplin imitations to amuse the boys.
