A bestseller, it was adapted into a 1967 film and later on a stage play.The novel tells the story of a young, idealistic teacher named Sylvia Barrett. Fresh out of college, Sylvia begins her first job as an English teacher at an inner-city public high school in New York City. Unfortunately, many of Sylvia's students are more interested in disturbing the class and goofing off than learning anything. Sylvia is not dissuaded and continues to try and teach her students about literature nevertheless.The film was directed by Robert Mulligan and stars Sandy Dennis as Sylvia, along with Patrick Bedford, Eileen Heckart, Ruth White, Sorrell Booke, and Jean Stapleton. | |

A Day in the Limelight: By appointing shy, quiet José to be the judge presiding over the mock trial, Sylvia provides this for him. He later comments that it made him feel "real," and the experience gives him self-confidence. Whereas before he had always signed his written suggestions and comments "Me," he now proudly writes out his name. | |

Beleaguered Assistant: Mrs. Lewis looks haggard and tired. She complains about the extra work they stick her with, and believes herself to be the only teacher in the school who takes the job seriously. She doesn't think much of Mrs. Pastorfield's attempts to make learning fun. | |
