Everything seemed to be looking up for Bradley Chalkers. He was doing his homework, being nicer to others, he and Jeff made up and he even made some new friends. His father taught him how to dribble and Colleen even invited him to her party. Things couldn't have been better until he got the bad news....
The Concerned Parents Committee for the school were very displeased with Miss Davis (Carla). They wanted her to be fired because they felt she served no purpose and should not be talking with their children. Miss Davis is eventually transferred to another school and Bradley is devastated. He no longer wanted to do his work, he didn't want any friends and thought Carla was a liar. He's beginning to turn back into the old Bradley!!
I feel so sorry for Bradley. I think Carla working with him really helped his self-esteem and he wanted to do better. She was the only one who was able to find the good in him. I also feel sorry for Carla because I believe she was really making a difference in the school, not only for Bradley, but for the other students as well. It is such a shame that the parents can't see past her looks and age to see how much of a impact she was making. I think so often we are too quick to judge a book by it's cover and not find out what it is all about. There needs to be more teachers like Carla who shows a genuine concern for students.
