When the school bell rings, he goes into autopilot handing out worksheets and inching his way toward his early retirement. Kermit, he's the exact opposite, he lost his will for teaching a long time ago. Bixby is what you would call one of the good teachers, the kind that is thoughtful, compassionate and cares deeply about her students. Or maybe The Unteachables is more like the book Ms. She's not even registered for school yet and only ended up in room 117 by accident, but still, she keeps coming back each day. She's only here until she can move back in with her mom. There's Barnstorm who symbolizes the jock with the busted up knee Rahim or the artist if only he could stay awake long enough Mateo the brainiac or the encyclopedia especially when it comes to the Klingon language Parker, the struggling student, and the wheels, having received a provisional drivers license so he can drive his elderly grandma to the senior center and run errands for his parent's farm Elaine (rhymes with pain) who's the muscle and has been known to throw a kid around just for looking at her funny there's Aldo who has the temper of 'the hulk ' and last but not least there's Kiana, who is like the invisible women, and is only supposed to be a 'short-timer.' Or at least that's what she keeps telling herself.

A group of kids from varied backgrounds holed up in a classroom each day.
