From the dust jacket: "At twenty-two, Dan Brown came to the Bronx's P.S. 85 in the Bronx as an eager, fresh-faced teacher Unbeknownst to him [his assigned class] 4-217, was the designated 'dumping ground' for all fourth-grade problem cases, and his students would prove to be more challenging than he could ever anticipate. Intent on being a caring, dedicated teacher but confronted with volatile children, absent parents, and a failing administration, Dan was pushed to the limit time and again: he found himself screaming with rage, punching his fist through a blackboard out of sheer frustration, often just wanting to give up and walk away Yet in this seeming chaos, he gradually learned from his mistakes and from the more seasoned teachers around him, and discovered an unexpected well of inspiration to discipline and teach and make a difference THE GREAT EXPECTATIONS SCHOOL is the touching journey of Class 4-217 and their teacher, Mr. Brown. It is also the revealing story of this country's broken educational system and all those struggling within and fighting against it.". Signed by the Author (his signature only).
