Summer School Teachers

Summer School Teachers (1974)

The student body always scores!

A trio of naive, but eager young Midwestern women go to California to teach summer school classes at Regency High School: Perky and willful Conklin T. starts up and coaches an all-female football team, stuffy chemistry teacher Sally Hanson manages to loosen up after she falls hard for a surly juvenile delinquent student, and pert and liberated photography instructor Denise Carter becomes involved with both a two-faced male chauvinist jerk and a more decent and understanding guy.

Interesting facts

Summer School Teachers is a 1974 feature film directed and written by Barbara Peeters and starring Candice Rialson. It is about three female friends who all teach at a school over the summer.

Production

Barbara Peeters had worked for a number of years at New World Pictures in various capacities, notably second unit directing, and asked Roger Corman when she was going to get the chance to direct her own movie. Corman asked if she could write a "three girls" movie about teachers - a follow up to The Student Teachers - and Peeters agreed. She was from Iowa and made the film about teachers coming from Iowa.

Peeters said Corman felt the "three girl" formula worked for him. "It had the right amount of exploitation. You had three stories so you didn't have to get too deep on any of them and you could have three naked girls at some point in the movie and you had to have some action. It was the same formula and it had worked for him for a very long time."

At the time Peeters said she enjoyed working for Roger Corman:

He is always available and he doesn't hire you unless he trusts you. As long as you open big and close big and try to resolve three stories in the end, Roger lets you do what you want. Just be sure you put in either a sex scene or an action sequence every 15 minutes.
