So I cannot for the life of me remember the name of this thing. It was in the 1980s (I believe), and had a plot that included a suicidal teacher, and it seems there was a shooting at some point in the movie. I know the teacher had dark hair and a beard. Does anyone know the name of this?

The Miracle Worker?

Maybe...wait, no, this one was in color.

Teachers (1984)

Quirky teacher characters.

A kid is shot by cops when he gets a gun from his locker.

Judd Hirsch is in it. He sometimes has a beard.

Nope, definitely not that. Thanks, though.

Stand and Deliver?

It might be, Class of 1984.

Neither one of those, thanks. This is pissing me off.

Problem is that he wasn't a teacher. My bad. I found it. "Student Confidential." What a shitfest.
