For every teacher fighting to make a difference—the timeless bestseller about the hope, heartache, and hilarity of working in the public school system.

When Sylvia Barrett arrives at New York City’s Calvin Coolidge High, she’s fresh from earning literature degrees at Hunter College and eager to shape young minds. Instead, she encounters broken windows, a lack of supplies, a stifling bureaucracy, and students with no interest in Chaucer. Narrated in “an almost presciently postmodern style” through interoffice memos, notes and doodles, lesson plans, suggestion-box insults, letters, and other dispatches from the front lines, Up the Down Staircase stands as the seminal novel of a beleaguered American public school system perpetually redeemed by teachers who love to teach and students who long to be recognized (The New Yorker).
 
Hailed as “the funniest book written in America since Catch-22,Up the Down Staircase spent over a year on the New York Times bestseller list, has been adapted for the stage, and was made into an award-winning feature film starring Sandy Dennis (New York Herald Tribune). It remains an essential and highly enjoyable read that will leave you laughing and shaking your head at the same time.
 
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Bel Kaufman including photos from the author’s personal collection.

    It is a must to read for everyone envolved in teaching. It's all about the meaning of being a teacher, a difference between a good and a bad one. I would also make every minister of Education to read it.

    As a teacher myself, I loved it and got inspired for sure.

    And that's it; that's why I want to teach; that's the one and only compensation: to make a permanent difference in the life of a child.

    We have keys but no locks (except in lavatories), blackboards but no chalk, students but no seats
