From teaching disadvantaged adolescents to affluent elementary
school children, and working with principals ranging from a supportive
humanist to a data-nut despot, the second year of Steve Hepting's career is
far from boring.
Through the numbness of the education bureacracy, the comedic antics of
the students in the classroom, and the foibles of teacher and support staff
colleagues, Hepting attempts to find order in a chaotic world. The life of a
school comes alive with zest, pathos, and humor.
Given the tortuous career road he has chosen, will Hepting decide to
return to the more sedate and lucrative stock broker occupation he once
enjoyed?
