Items related to The Walkout: A Tale in Three Parts
The new schools' superintendent of a large East Coast city has big plans for education-plans that involve firing legions of teachers. Thus begins The Walkout, a tale told from the points of view of several different participants. There is intrigue, blackmail, treachery, skulduggery-all set against the backdrop of a mass protest, as the teachers battle to save their jobs and some modicum of education for their students. But the new superintendent, they learn, does not care too much for either; he has outsized plans and even more outsized ambitions, which set into motion all kinds of trouble. The struggle between blind ambition and decency, wild careerism and modest goals make The Walkout not just a tale in three parts, but also a parable of our times.
