From the Paper:

"As most relationships do, the relationships between Rick Braithwaite, the teacher, known as "Sir," and his students, changes from the beginning of this book to the end. At first, Sir is a little afraid of the students. The other teachers have told him they are difficult, "Ah, another lamb to the slaughter?" (15). "Don't take any guff from them, Ricky, or they'll give you hell" (56). He lets the students command his classroom, by slamming down the lids of their desks, disrupting the lessons, and making comments about him."
