The Unteachables

The Unteachables is a heartwarming story by Gordon Korman that follows a group of students who have been labeled as misfits and troublemakers, the so-called 'unteachables' of Greenwich Middle School. These students are placed in a class with Mr. Zachary Kermit, a once-vibrant teacher whose passion for teaching has been worn down by the system and past experiences. Throughout the book, Mr. Kermit and the students embark on a journey of mutual learning and growth. They face various challenges and prejudices, but together they work to overcome these obstacles, proving to themselves and others that they are more than their labels. The story is a testament to the power of second chances, the importance of understanding, and the transformative impact a dedicated teacher can have on students who are often overlooked.
