In The Sub, Jimmy Jazz reports from the front lines of American Education, and it ain't pretty.A young man starting his teaching career maneuvers in and out of the classroom, observing the academic circus from kids smoking behind the gym to drive-by shootings, from explaining endoplasmic reticulum to counseling pregnant teenagers.
