At 22, Dan Dark brown arrived to the Bronx's P.S. 85 as an keen, fresh-faced educator. Unbeknownst to him, his assigned school, 4-217, was the designated "dumping floor" for many fourth-grade problem conditions, and his students would end up being more difficult than he could ever anticipate. Objective on being truly a caring, dedicated educator but confronted with unruly children, absent parents, and a faltering supervision, Dan was forced to the limit time and again: he found himself screaming with rage, punching his fist through a blackboard out of sheer aggravation, often just attempting to quit and walk away.Yet in this seeming chaos, he slowly learned from his own flaws and discovered an urgent well of enthusiasm to discipline and show and change lives. The Great Anticipations School is the touching journey of Class 4-217 and their educator, Mr. Dark brown, but more than that, it's the revealing story of any cracked educational system and all those attempting within and fighting with each other against it.
