Up the down Staircase

Bel Kaufman's bestselling classic, about a young teacher's efforts to reach her students and the odd, amusing, and poignant ways that the students respond. When Miss Barrett arrives at Calvin Coolidge High, fresh from earning literature degrees at Hunter College, she can hardly wait to shape young minds. Instead, she encounters broken windows, no supplies, students who would rather be anyplace else, and a stifling bureaucracy that makes her job more difficult at every turn. Narrated through hilarious inter-office memos, students' notes, and other scraps drawn from the waste basket, Up the Down Staircase stands as the seminal novel of the American public school system, a beleaguered institution perpetually redeemed by teachers who love to teach and students who long to be recognized. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Bel Kaufman including photos from the author's personal collection.

  • "Synopsis: Bel Kaufman's Up the Down Staircase is one of the best-loved novels of our time. It has been translated into sixteen languages, made into a prize-winning motion picture, and staged as a play at high schools all over the United States; its very title has become part of the American idiom. Never before has a novel so compellingly laid bare the inner workings of a metropolitan high school. Up the Down Staircase is the funny and touching story of a committed, idealistic teacher whose dash with school bureaucracy is a timeless lesson for students, teachers, parents - anyone concerned about public education. Bel Kaufman lets her characters speak for themselves through memos, letters, directives from the principal, comments by students, notes between teachers, and papers from desk drawers and wastebaskets, evoking a vivid picture of teachers fighting the good fight against all that stands in the way of good teaching."
  • "Describes what goes on in a large metropolitan high school in the 1960s when a dedicated teacher's ideals run against the educational bureaucracy, the lack of communication, etc."
  • "Dokumentárně pojatý román z prostředí newyorské střední školy. Americká autorka zde na příběhu svědomité učitelky, kterou žáci zpočátku s nelibostí přijímají a s níž se nakonec neradi loučí, a formou autentických, mnohdyútržkovitě řazených úryvků z rozhovorů mezi žáky, mezi učiteli a žáky, citátů z úloh a citátů z žákovských dopisů líčí svérázné pojetí demokracie mezi učiteli a žáky a v řadě veselých i vážných situací karikuje mechanické abyrokratické řízení živého vyučovacího procesu formou oběžníků, výnosů a nařízení, jak si je představuje vedení školy a nadřízené úřady."
