From the Paper:

""To Sir, With Love" by E.R. Braithwaite is a novel about a black teacher in England who gets a class of misfits that have no interest in learning. In the novel's beginning, "Sir's" initial reaction in his new job is that of fear and uncertainty, because of the complex and unstructured nature of his job and his students. As the novel progresses, "Sir" must find out that to get the students to learn from him, he must learn from them in terms of their lifestyle. "Sir" wins his students' hearts and minds towards the novel's end, when they become respectful, responsible members of society. The novel is a testament of the undying devotion of the human spirit, in which "Sir" wins his students' respect by showing them what they learn is useful outside of the classroom, giving them more self-respect and confidence."
