false <![CDATA[Up the Down Staircase]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223643320m/160320.jpg 160320 11 Bel Kaufman's <I>Up the Down Staircase</I> is one of the best-loved novels of our time. It has been translated into sixteen languages, made into a prize-winning motion picture, and staged as a play at high schools all over the United States; its very title has become part of the American idiom. Never before has a novel so compellingly laid bare the inner workings of a metropolitan high school. <I>Up the Down Staircase</I> is the funny and touching story of a committed, idealistic teacher whose dash with school bureaucracy is a timeless lesson for students, teachers, parents--anyone concerned about public education. Bel Kaufman lets her characters speak for themselves through memos, letters, directives from the principal, comments by students, notes between teachers, and papers from desk drawers and wastebaskets, evoking a vivid picture of teachers fighting the good fight against all that stands in the way of good teaching. 154741 1965 Up the Down Staircase total:676|5:131|4:274|3:222|2:44|1:5| 676 2510 878 79 912791 0871292815 9780871292810 6 2 Up the Down Staircase 3.71 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/912791.Up_the_Down_Staircase 4 1 false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1971 Tue Jun 24 20:12:54 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 27 08:25:14 -0700 2008 more...]]> 160320 0060973617 9780060973612 652 75 Up the Down Staircase 3.71 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223643320m/160320.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/160320.Up_the_Down_Staircase 5 1 false Wed Mar 12 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 06 13:41:59 -0800 2008 Wed Mar 12 17:03:23 -0700 2008 more...]]> 160320 0060973617 9780060973612 652 75 Up the Down Staircase 3.71 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223643320m/160320.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/160320.Up_the_Down_Staircase 4 1 false Thu May 15 15:16:07 -0700 2008 Thu May 15 15:18:55 -0700 2008 more...]]> 160320 0060973617 9780060973612 652 75 Up the Down Staircase 3.71 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223643320m/160320.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/160320.Up_the_Down_Staircase 4 1 false Sat Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Sun Feb 10 10:48:32 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 10 10:50:46 -0800 2008 more...]]> 160320 0060973617 9780060973612 652 75 Up the Down Staircase 3.71 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223643320m/160320.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/160320.Up_the_Down_Staircase 4 1 false Tue Aug 05 16:35:44 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 13 13:12:18 -0700 2008 more...]]> 160320 0060973617 9780060973612 652 75 Up the Down Staircase 3.71 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223643320m/160320.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/160320.Up_the_Down_Staircase 3 0 false Thu Mar 05 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Mar 05 11:55:37 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 18 09:12:25 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 160320 0060973617 9780060973612 652 75 Up the Down Staircase 3.71 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223643320m/160320.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/160320.Up_the_Down_Staircase 3 0 false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0700 1974 Mon Apr 20 10:24:03 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 10:24:03 -0700 2009 2 more...]]> 160320 0060973617 9780060973612 652 75 Up the Down Staircase 3.71 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223643320m/160320.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/160320.Up_the_Down_Staircase 5 2 false Fri Apr 18 01:47:37 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 18 01:49:22 -0700 2008 160320 0060973617 9780060973612 652 75 Up the Down Staircase 3.71 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223643320m/160320.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/160320.Up_the_Down_Staircase 3 1 false Fri Apr 18 01:59:45 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 18 02:00:56 -0700 2008 The movie came out in the mid-60s. (I actually knew some kids who were in it.)
Life is a LOT tougher for a NYC teacher than it is portrayed here.
