Not since Bel Kaufman's 1964 novel Up the Down Staircase has a funnier book been written about teachers and teaching.

In 1971 Richard Nixon is in the White House preparing to run for a second term and Watergate is on the near horizon. Though winding down toward peace with honor, the war in Vietnam is still in the headlines and protestors are in the streets. On Long Island, in Union Free School District 71, it is the beginning of the 1971-72 school year. At Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Memorial High School teachers, administrators and students begin counting down the days until June. First-year English teacher Jesse Tietjen has joined the faculty of R&G and discovers on day one that teaching isn't what he expected it would be. Neither are the teachers he encounters at the endless meetings that fill his day.
