Plot summary

Pat Conroy, an ambitious, slightly rebellious idealistic teacher accepts Bennington county, SC's school board superintendent's offer to teach the all-black kids of the pauper fishery community on Yamacraw Island. Staffless 'head' mistress Brown incarnates stupidity and blind rule obedience, her didactic skills consisting in scolding and spanking her students. Pat moves heaven and earth to motivate and educate, but after finally getting trough to pupils and parents is refused contract renewal by the arch-conservative authorities.

The Water Is Wide is a great story

The Water Is Wide is a great story of the educational system of the sixties. I know from experience that teachers ruled with a rod in some classrooms. It is a very touching tale of how one teacher can teach the children without using cruelty. The movie is very heartwarming and well done.
