This teacher runs an alternative program for troubled kids who have been kicked out of conventional classrooms. He acknowledges that these kids have been given up on and labeled as "druggies" and "stupid," although they are really just products of their stereotypical environments, having never touched drugs and having lacked the encouragement to show the depths to their intelligences to teachers.
In his story, this teacher talks of how he travels to students' homes to drive them to school if they are chronically tardy, and he speaks of the passion with which he must teach in order to inspire his students to succeed in an environment where they are typically inspired to go nowhere.
