Description

How long can someone stand a frustrating teaching job under a micromanaging bonehead of a boss? And what can you do about it? Charley Berger tries to teach auto mechanics to a mixed bag of spoiled and indifferent students while fending off Bonehead's incessant stupid suggestions. He also deals with a boring home life and the attentions of a female night school student. Meanwhile, Sandra tries to teach computer operation to the completely unqualified while dealing with Bonehead and her alcoholic husband. Bonehead's assistant Marrs tries to gain some control with a flood of memos, while night school principal Carruthers pines for early retirement. The other teachers and staff are scared, trying for promotion, resigned to fate, or just incompetent. A desperate Charley attempts various plots and gets involved in various extra curricular activities, including rebuilding an old Pontiac GTO and semi-casual sex. Various things happen inside and outside of the school, some funny, some awful and some even good. Eventually things are resolved, sort of. Some get what they want, maybe, while others get what they deserve. Anybody who teaches, or has had a loony boss, should enjoy this book.
