Diary of a School Director (Russian: Дневник директора школы, romanized: Dnevnik direktora shkoly) is a 1975 Soviet drama film directed by Boris Frumin.
The film tells about the school director, who oversees the daily life of the school, tries to understand the problems of education and conflicts with the head teacher of the school, who is also devoted to her work.
Plot
The story centers on the daily life of Sveshnikov, the director of Leningrad Secondary School No. 183, a former soldier and writer who found new purpose as an educator. Sveshnikov takes a dedicated, demanding approach to his role, deeply aware of the teacher’s impact on students’ lives. He strives to address contemporary issues in education, believing that traditional, one-sided teaching methods must give way to a dialogue between teacher and student, where young people’s rights to their own opinions are respected.
Sveshnikov’s commitment to tolerance and respect for each student's individuality and talents brings him into conflict with the school’s assistant principal, Valentina Fyodorovna, who criticizes his liberal and permissive methods. At home, Sveshnikov’s educational ideals are tested by his own son, whose defiant independence and youthful idealism challenge the very principles Sveshnikov champions in his professional life.
