THROWING 
THe HAMMER

The goal is not to throw the hammer as far as possible. The goal is to let the hammer sing. The hammer will decide how far it wants to go.

‍

Mark Patterson wants to do nothing more than to surf and to ski, needs money, and believes that high school teaching will be the cushy job of his dreams. He receives a rude awakening when he becomes a physics teacher at Winston Grant, a begrudging little brother among private school heavyweights. 

‍

Mark finds himself negotiating a zany gauntlet of paranoid administrators, interdepartmental feuds, quirky staff members, meddling parents, and an eccentric headmaster who insists on calling him “Bruce.” And that’s not to mention, of course, teenage students!
