If you thought being a student was hard, try being a teacher! After reinventing the legal ensemble genre with his Emmy Award-winning series Ally McBeal and The Practice, multiple Emmy, Golden Globe and Peabody Award-winner David E. Kelley set his sights on high school with Boston Public .
Receiving two Emmy Award nominations during its first season, "Boston Public" explores the personal and professional lives of teachers and administrators working at a mid-size high school in Boston. Boston Public uses controversial, topical and surprising storylines that get viewers talking about the state of education today.
With athletes graduating high school and signing seven-figure professional contracts, 25-year-old Internet billionaires and high school dropouts winning fortunes on game shows, has the $42,000-a-year teacher become an outdated notion as they struggle to command respect from jaded students and succeed-at-all-cost parents?
Boston Public gives an up-close, behind-the-scenes, dramatic and sometimes comedic look into the lives of teachers and administrators at Winslow High, focusing on their constant battle to positively impact the lives of their students.
