Enjoyable, a bit predictable but charming nevertheless.
The school kids are delightful and Dohmoto and Takeuchi quite amusing.

Synopsis
The story greatly resembles 3 Nen B Gumi Kimpachi-sensei with some stereotypical characters tacked on. There's the hardheaded father figure, who is a ramen shop chef, his tough school teacher daughter (Yuko Takeuchi), who hates Sakuragi, and an estranged older sister, who dad has disowned. Dad is renting Sakuragi the estranged sister's old room. Takeuchi and Sentaro teach with a guy who has a huge Oedipus complex. We have seen it all before, but done better elsewhere. However, the real problem is not the scenario, but the school. It would be hard to find a less likeable class.

Given the number of titles featuring this genre, it is inevitable that the storyline features plenty of cliches. But of course that does not mean the show isn't good. On the contrary, Gakkou No Sensei managed to string together the various storylines in a balanced and well-crafted fashion, that at the end of the show you can't help but feel sad that the show has ended.
The two leads Tsuyoshi & Yuko hams it up as a pair of loggerheads who are staying together under the same roof. But as time goes, one notice the bickering stems from their affection for each other, and thus it was really nice to see them reveal their feeling at the end.
Of course this is a show about primary school kids and the despite the selfish and very naughty antics of the Tsuyoshi's class, it was really heartwarming to see how they grew and matured under his care.
All in all, this is one of the more meaningful and touching "teaching" drama out there along side GTO:)
Enjoy!
the school kids were the highlight

this is a fairly amusing drama. in my opinion, most of the credits go to the fascinating bunch of kids. :) they were really adorable & why anyone would actually feel annoyed by them is way beyond my comprehension ^^;
dohmoto & takeuchi did a decent job in this drama, but i think they should have indicated their growing fondness towards each other. not a struck-in-the-head realisation towards the end. :p
