A small-town history teacher with a decidedly different approach to public education raises the ire of a stuffy biology teacher who's looking to win the "Teacher of the Year" award in this made-for-television
family-oriented comedy starring
Ryan Reynolds and
David Paymer.
Mr. D (
Reynolds) doesn't just teach history, he lives it; and his passion for the oft-dreaded subject is infectious. Though the kids and the faculty all love
Mr. D, biology teacher
Matt Warner (
Paymer) views the newly arrived educator as little more than another roadblock in his path to take the "Teacher of the Year" prize. The son of wildly popular educator
Stormin' Norman (
John Astin) -- a man who had achieved the astonishing feat of winning the top teacher award for 43 years in a row --
Matt Warner is desperate to prove his worth as a teacher by following in his fathers formidable footsteps. When
Warner learns a secret about
Mr. D that could bring the newly arrived teacher down and place
Warner directly in position to take the Teacher of the Year title, the entire town of Fallbrook learns an important lesson that can't be taught in a textbook.
