Way back at the dawn of time when I was in school, LBJ was in the White House and cigarettes were prescribed by doctors,  a book was published called Up The Down Staircase (1965). It was a free form written look at the daily life of a teacher in public school. It was very funny in that it identified some of the foolishness teachers had to contend with while simultaneously attempting to cram useful knowledge into dense heads. (I know, I was one of those dense heads.) Although fiction, it rang true for teachers across the nation.It is with that thought in mind that I chose this title as an homage.
