DISCARDS

by Eddie Edwards

Many teens and young adults are "discarded" by their parents, step-parents or foster parents and dumped on the Special Education departments of the public school system. Nobody wants them, including the schools, but the schools are obligated to take them. This is the true story of a few teens who do NOT belong in the Special Education branch of the public school systems and their sad but often humorous struggle of how they survive. It can also be considered a "Middle School Survival Guide" or "How To Survive Middle School" for the parent, student and teacher.
There are elements of many films in this true story, including “The Breakfast Club,” “Stand and Deliver,” “Miracle” and “Dead Poets Society.” There are also references and parallels to classic literature such as “Lolita,” “The Crucible” and “The Scarlet Letter.”
