High school can be an unstable place for the students, parents, and teachers but no high school is as unstable as the one in Kathleen West's debut novel. The teachers kowtow to the department heads and principal and everybody kowtows to the parents of these privileged students. For some teachers and administrators, it is just easier to always say yes to the helicopter moms but for one teacher, Isobel, who honestly wants to teach her English students, the repercussions may be too much. A social media gossip group, a damaging parent email and a video gone viral of a mom gone wild isn't going to help these kids deal with real life. This is a must for teachers and parents who understand boundaries and it wouldn't hurt for a high schooler or two to read it as well. It made me want to go out and hug a teacher.
