An unrepentant politically incorrect, roller-coaster romp about an extraordinarily eccentric secondary-school teacher, who the education review office in their last assessment described as follows:
"Mr Gormsby is an out-dated, reactionary, racist, sexist teacher completely out of touch with educational theory in the second millennium. He defies the curriculum in every subject and is a disgrace to the profession. He should have no place in any state or private school. We will close Tepapawai Boys High and appoint a commissioner if Mr Gormsby is not replaced forthwith".
