Publisher's Summary

Written in 1954, this controversial story cracked down on the public school system and dramatized student violence as no other novel of its time did. Hunter used his own teaching experience to create protagonist Richard Dadier, who lands his first real job as an English teacher at North Manual Trades High School in New York City.

What listeners say about The Blackboard Jungle

Blackboard Jungle transcends the ages, and should be a must read for teachers and students beginning at the high school level. This story is in one in which every student and teacher alike can personally identify in some respect, as it is virtually impossible not to take pause (s) throughout for some form of personal introspection.
