Why Shoot the Teacher? 1977

“Everything is funny, as long as it’s happening to someone else!” In the bitter winter of 1935, fresh‑out teacher Max Brown arrives in Willowgreen, Saskatchewan, to run a one‑room schoolhouse. He soon discovers the reality of a relentless freeze, cramped basement quarters, disrespect from his older pupils and meager, irregular pay.
