Doug Taylor is your typical high school history teacher, generally. His students respect him, usually. His colleagues like him, mostly. His fiancee adores him, occasionally. His life is orderly and predictable, frequently. His life is about to change, irrevocably. Doug Taylor, a young high school teacher who's putting in his time until he can get a better job with his Masters Degree in History. He pomposity personified. Serious, aloft, in need of an attitude adjustment. Resigned to the fact that he'll have to endure this barely tolerable job until one more fitting his stature comes along. In a plot instigated by a ruthless colleague and competitor for a prestigious teaching award, Doug finds himself losing his job, his fiancee, his pride, and everything he has worked to obtain. He is faced with only one possible way to regain his lost career and esteem. He is faced with every person's greatest fear, their most dreaded nightmare. After fifteen years, Doug Taylor has to go back and finish high school. This should be a breeze for someone with a masters degree, right? As the breeze accelerates to a hurricane, Doug finds himself faced with flunking out, disciplinary proceedings, and expulsion. He is forced into the only course of action he has left. He has to learn how to be a student. Rarely does anyone have a second chance to experience what most of us try so hard to forget. Back To School makes us reexamine our relationships, how we see, and how we are seen by others. I ask you, what is a teacher and what is a student? Are we all not teachers and are we all not students each in our own way?
