About the book
When indiscipline at Roderick International School, Mussoorie, became an alarming issue for members of the Board, educators, and parents alike, CEO Jacob Roderick decided to bring in an experimental teacher, Roma Mathur, against the Board of Directors’ wishes, to curb the growing aggression, hostility, and vandalism. Will someone like Roma Mathur, written off by her teachers as a ‘Moron’ and ‘Good for nothing’, be able to inspire learning in students who loathe studying and sitting in classrooms? Will this maverick academic, who had been too naughty as a student herself, be able to instil values and discipline in her students? Is there any place for someone as unconventional as Roma Mathur among the esteemed and sophisticated faculty at the prestigious International School? Has Jacob Roderick made a grave mistake in recruiting someone who plays the drums, watches Tom and Jerry, beats up Goons in the pub, and rides a sports bike, over the gold medalist, experienced teachers who had applied? What did the school need at this desperate hour? It is time for RIS students to decide what kind of teachers they need in their classrooms.
