To Sir, with Love Collection

Engineer Mark Thackeray arrives to teach a totally undisciplined class at an East End school. Still hoping for a good engineering job, he's hopeful that he won't be there long. He starts implementing his own brand of classroom discipline: forcing the pupils to treat each other with respect. Inevitably he begins getting involved in the students' personal lives, and must avoid the advances of an amorous student while winning over the class tough. What will he decide when the engineering job comes through?

Mark Thackery, who after teaching in London for 30 years retires and decides to relocate to Chicago and accepts a job teaching at an inner city school. He finds several students whom he thinks have potential to do good if they stay on right path. But his tenure is in jeopardy when he catches a student with a gun which he confiscates and turns in. But when it's discovered that the gun was used in a crime and when the police demand that he tell them who had the gun and he refuses. He is also looking for someone.
