Tattletale
by Carrie Malinowski
Mrs. M. has both a crippling social anxiety and a lifelong dream to teach. At age 35, she enters a student teaching program, panics in front of the class, and is fired by her mentor, who says, "There's no place for you in this profession!" With the help of a buddy teacher, Mrs. M. finds her home at Owen Charter, a low-budget elementary school, where the talented and the quirky are welcome.
