Minot's Ledge - Paperback

by David Story Allen (Author)

Back at his boarding school after a year-long sabbatical, English teacher Benjamin C. Minot runs afoul of one of the institution's major donors. Over the course of his tenure, Ben, a notoriously hard marker who has earned the moniker, 'Benjamin C. Minus, ' has seen the realities of education morph, with schools now run like businesses where grades and discipline are minefields with parents. The early academic year includes confronting racial profiling, dealing with plagiarism and a whiff of blackmail involving his future. As a strange, new virus emerges, forcing administrators to decide whether to keep the school in session, a teacher weighs whether to keep the school out of the newspapers.
