I'm not totally sure how this site works, but I think that the song "Lean on Me" by Bill Withers (1972) should be mentioned in this article as well as the remake by Club Nouveau (1988). Maybe there should even be a link to the lyrics.
I have seen this film since I was in high school back in 1989 although a school administrator as portrayed in the film is considered the equivalent of a politician to which a 100% commitment to service is questionable. When Clark (as depicted in the film) states that he would like to meet with his students, and/or meet other dignitaries, he stated in the film that 'I cannot be at 15 places at once' - that means if I would like to see my elected official and s/he is not present in the office, the '15 places at once' remark reflects on this theodicy.
Much like the Blue Cross/Blue Shield advertisment where the statement: "Dedication is commitment to a goal", is plastered on a billboard, administrators and/or politicians uphold this ethic.
