Plot summary for Head of the Class:
Charlie Moore (Howard Hesseman) is struggling New York actor-director who is working as a substitute teacher while waiting for his big break. His current assignment is to oversee a class of student prodigies. He soon realizes that the principal has more or less shut these students out from the rest of the world. He tries to show them that there's more to life than just studying and winning academic competitions. The principal doesn't exactly think that Charlie is a positive influence on the students, but when one of the students' parents, who also happens to be on the school board, sees how Charlie got his son to come out off his shell, he "asks" the principal to make Charlie permanent teacher. Now Charlie helps the students with their personal problems, in addition to their academic ones.
