When most people hear “School of Rock,” they think of the 2003 Jack Black movie where he hijacks a classroom of private elementary school students, steers them away from classical music toward the raw power of rock ‘n’ roll, and enters the group into a local Battle of the Bands. It’s a cute flick that still holds up today, but I was lucky to be a part of a somewhat similar experience in my youth.
