Goofs

When Pat Conroy goes to a student's home, a pack of dogs rushes out to him and the owner calls them off. As Conroy is leaving, the dogs chase him again, and as he runs down the road at least one of them runs past Conroy, presumably toward the trainer calling them.

When Pat leaves his place in Beaufort for Yamacraw Island at the film's beginning, he abandons his pet fish and parrot.

At the beginning of the movie when Conroy asks the children to pull their chairs into a circle, a little boy on the right-hand side of the screen won't stop staring directly at the camera.
