25 years and it still lingers..

This film was shown to me at school when I was a mere 7 years old. I can only assume that the school felt it was necessary as along with 4 other children we were put in a 10x10 room and shown this film and asked about our feelings on the movie.

I came from a broken home at the age of 4 and the memory of this film and my life at that time will never be forgotten. It is unfortunate that today's school systems refuse to show this film and ignore these problems that are so blatant in our younger single parent households.

Without a doubt I can agree with the other comments that this movie changed my life in such a profound way. I am now married and a father of 2 kids. With the ever present residue of this film in my mind I know that my children will never become just another Cipher in the snow.

I want a copy of this most important movie

I saw this movie in Jr High I think was in 1977. It effected me very much, I wanted to cry when I watched it. God knows there are many 'ciphers' out there that even the slightest outreach would change their lives. If anyone knows a way to get a copy of this film I would sure be interested in buying a copy. In some ways back then I identified with the boy in the movie at the time. He was depressed and eventually went into total despair and literally willed himself to death. I believe the movie tried to portray how easily preventable this happening was. I think everyone should watch this movie. It shows how even the smallest initial clues can be picked up and the tragic event at the end of the movie can be prevented.

A Math Teacher Thinks About Zeros

A schoolboy sits by himself on the bus. He gets up, and moves to the front. He asks the driver to let him off. When the puzzled man does so, the boy steps into the snow on the ground by the road and collapses. He is dead.

Most of the movies made for schools are mildly ridiculous in their insipidity. This is not one of them. Perhaps that's because it's not solely directed at the students, whom film makers seem to think are stupid people. Instead it's aimed at the teachers who puzzled, investigate what happened, and come to no clear answer, except that to survive, people need more than food, shelter, and clothes. They need to know that some one cares.

A Powerful Lesson

A wonderful, heartbreaking movie with a powerful lesson, how little we sometimes realize as parents, teachers, and leaders , the effect our words have on children.. "Cliff, what are you day-dreaming about today?" Our Father in Heaven never writes off any of his children, and yet we often label them as "dumb" or "slow learner" and they carry this with them.. Highly recommended for all age groups.. He started off such a happy little boy with a love for the beautiful, simple things in life (the frogs, the budding flower) that we take for granted, and his step father failed miserably to see the blessings of such an example, and so sad that mothers put up with such men who would mistreat their children so terribly..

A Movie You Won't Forget, Except For Maybe The Title

Over the past 30 years I've thought about this film off and on. I saw it in junior high school back in the day when films were shown via 16mm projectors. The scene of the kid getting off the bus and dying stuck with me. I didn't remember the title of the film, but this is why the IMDb is so great. I have been watching episodes of "The Virginian" in the past year. I looked up "The Virginian" on IMDb and started looking at what other projects the cast members have appeared in. Much to my surprised delight I discovered Roberta Shore from "The Virginian" was in a movie where a kid got off the bus and died. And so now I know the best film I ever saw in a junior high classroom is called, "Cipher In The Snow."
