Answers:
High school movies from that era include "To Sir, With Love", about a new teacher at an English school; "Up the Down Staircase", about a new teacher at an inner-city school; and "Cooley High", about black high school students!.
That's about all I can think of now!. I'll look around some more!.
"Lean on Me" is from 1989!. I thought it was set in that time period, but perhaps it's a period film!. I saw it once and can't recall!. Here's the IMDb synopsis, which should help you decide if the first poster is correct:
An extraordinary situation calls for an extraordinary solution!. At strife-torn Eastside High School in Paterson, New Jersey, that solution had a name: Principal "Crazy Joe" Clark (Morgan Freeman)!. With a bullhorn in one hand and a baseball bat in the other, he slammed the door on losers at Eastside!. Brought in as a last resort to stop the state government from taking control of the school, Clark chained the doors shut to keep troublemakers out and achievers in!. Parents fought him!. Teachers resented him!. Even his own boss doubted him!. But lots of kids loved him!. Clark turned Eastside around, appearing on the cover of "Time Magazine" and becoming a national symbol of tough-love education!. "If you don't succeed in life," Clark tells his students, "don't blame your backgrounds!. Don't blame the Establishment!. Blame YOURSELVES!." His message is simple: Don't lean on excuses, drugs, crime, or anger!. LEAN ON ME!.!.!.and learn!."
It's almost 10 years after your date, but it matches!. I can't think of any '70s film that fits your description~teachers, yes; principals, no!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
