It's the start of another school
year and teachers Grayson Lord and George Nesbitt know what awaits them.
Administrative "management" in place of leadership. Disingenuous
professionalism. Community contempt. Parental mistrust. Widespread student
disrespect. And worst of all, further compromise of their control in the
classroom.
They understand what everyone
knows but doesn't say. Without authority, teaching is impossible. "No
one ever respected a weakling.
No one cared about anything he had to say."
Enter senior Asa Aftanas who
doesn't give a damn about anyone. When the confrontation with the new
student arrives, the teachers step over the line, prompting calls for their
dismissal. But before the school board can present the outspoken Nesbitt
with his walking papers, the teacher leaves without warning. Or so his
colleagues believe... until the end of the term when, inside a student's
desk, Lord makes a casual, but horrifying, discovery.
