Plot hole: Sarah breaks a mirror in frustration by throwing something against it. Then she buries her face in her arms and sobs. It remains a mystery how she managed to cut her hand so bad that it needed to be fixed with five stitches, as she isn't even seen picking up the pieces. (00:59:15)

Continuity mistake: In the first class, when James introduces himself, Johnny (the unapproachable boy) is writing slowly in a large notebook. When we see him first there are only a few lines, but a moment later the page is already half full. James tells him to stop, and when Johnny opens the book again the page is almost full. (00:07:20)
James Leeds: I can't ever get close enough. Say my name, just once, say my name.
Trivia: Marlee Matlin won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role of Sarah Norman. At the age of 21, Matlin became the youngest winner in the Best Actress category in Academy history.
