Memoirs of a Maladjusted Teacher

This is a moving, thought-provoking, and at times hilarious account of the highs and lows of one teacher’s life in a pioneering inner-city school for damaged and difficult children in the 1970s.



Memoirs of a Maladjusted Teacher is the true account of one teacher’s struggle to bring hope and happiness to his pupils, his employers and himself… a mixture of joy and chaos in the classroom.

In the 1950s there was Sidney Poitier in The Blackboard Jungle. In the 1960s we had Max Bygraves in Spare the Rod.
