The Adminisphere John Prather

Greg Samson is a brand-new teacher at a brand-new high school in a wealthy suburb of Phoenix. While he finds teaching to be a noble profession, his hard work and persistence are no match for the irrelevant decisions and absurd policies which fall from The Adminisphere. The perpetrators are countless: a tyrannical principal; the revolving door of Superintendents; administrators with their own agendas; meddling parents and expensive lawyers to whom the District invariably capitulates; pointless meetings, overvalued football coaches, ridiculous expectations, and many more. Tormented by bizarre dreams and plagued by self-doubt, Greg must balance his idealism against the absurdity, a journey he shares with colleagues but navigates on his own unique terms. This satirical look at the world of education is bound to make you laugh, but will also make you think about public schools today.
