Description
Physical and mental exhaustion may seem the hallmarks of ?burn out?, but teacher Jack Barker?s inner turmoil suggests a deep dissatisfaction with developments in education per se. Disillusioned by his teaching career, and rejecting the bland clich? that education is a preparation for life, he feels that it should aim higher than the mere maintenance of the status quo and that education is a mission. His disturbed state of mind has repercussions for his family, as he becomes increasingly estranged from both wife and son. Exasperated by disillusionment, and as his domestic life continues to crumble, he encounters an unlikely yet welcome mentor in the form of Alf who provides further impetus for Jack?s increasing negativity and fall from grace.
