I haven't thought of that play in a long time! It was good, though. I think I saw a TV version of it when I was younger. I don't remember much, but I remember it was touching. Wasn't it about a teacher in a poor neighborhood who was a great teacher and very optimistic even though she struggled? And she was finally going to give up but then her students told her how much she meant to them?

Yeah. Basically it's, like happymom said, it's about a first-time teacher teaching homeroom in an inner-city NY high school. The students are really rambunctious and for awhile she feels like she's just spinning her wheels. As the play goes on, she learns how to handle them (fellow teachers included) and what works for them and what doesn't. And somewhere along the way, a student falls out of a window, and is in the hospital for all of Act Two.
