5.On a recent morning,Ramón González,the headmaster of M.S.223,a public middle school in the South Bronx,arrived at work as usual at 7:30,took off his coat and suit jacket,put his tea and toast from a nearby diner on the conference table in his office and walked down the hallway to the school's back door to greet arriving students.González had a busy schedule for the day.Among other things,he needed to get to work on a suggestion for the city's Department of Education to expand 223into a high school.
At 10,González was finally about to sit down at his computer,when he was interrupted.A young teacher came into his office in tears,unable to figure out what was going on with an eighth grader who had just moved to M.S.223from a public school in Florida,was way behind in class and had been wandering around the school's hallways between periods,looking lost.González knew almost nothing about the girl.Like many of his students,she turned up at M.S.223with no more than a bill to prove she lived in the neighborhood.He calmed the teacher and started trying to figure out what was happening.(When he finally reached an administrator at the girl's old school days later,he discovered that she had been classified with a severe learning disability.)
Next,González was informed that the three free books that each of his school's students was entitled to-under a nonprofit program to promote literacy in poor communities-had never arrived.He needed to chase them down.(As it turned out,they were sent to a wrong school.) As he was doing so,he learned that a former teacher who had physically threatened(威脅)him,members of his teachers and even some students,and whom González had spent years trying to remove from the classroom,was challenging his termination(任期).
