Meet Jack Brennan, a twenty-one-year-old educational greenhorn armed with a bachelor's degree in secondary science education, a reasonable degree of intelligence, and a woefully shallow pool of experience. He easily lands a job with the Buffalo Public School District and realizes too late that he's been tossed into the meat grinder that is urban education. As his first year progresses, the school of hard knocks introduces him to inept administrators, burned-out teachers, asocial children, apathetic parents, a naïve court system, and a seriously flawed bureaucracy. Jack's tribulations include a riotous school invasion, the theft of his car by a student, and a desperate drive through a blizzard while attempting to return his students from an ill-fated camping trip. When a major tragedy strikes, Jack plods numbly along in the wake of the school community's loss. He must decide if all the heartache is worth the effort. Success could make teaching a life's career. Failure will make him desperate for a way to support his life. Advance Praise for Schooling Mr. Brennan I think Schooling Mr. Brennan should be required reading to teachers and parents. It's a solid, compelling read. -Hayward Allen, Author, Editor, and Literary Critic
