About this listen
With opportunities for black men limited in post-World War II London, Rick Braithwaite, a former Royal Air Force pilot and Cambridge-educated engineer, accepts a teaching position that puts him in charge of a class of angry, unmotivated, bigoted white teenagers whom the system has mostly abandoned. When his efforts to reach these troubled students are met with threats, suspicion, and derision, Braithwaite takes a radical new approach. He will treat his students as people poised to enter the adult world. He will teach them to respect themselves and to call him Sir. He will open up vistas before them that they never knew existed. And, over the course of a remarkable year, he will touch the lives of his students in extraordinary ways - even as they, in turn, unexpectedly and profoundly touch his.
Based on actual events in the author's life, To Sir, with Love is a powerfully moving story that celebrates courage, commitment, and vision and that inspired the classic film starring Sidney Poitier.

Enjoyed the book as much as the movie
A wonderful story that we can all learn from about how we should interact with people. Enjoyed the narration too.

Great story
This is a story that inspired me to become a teacher in an under achieving school . Trying to leave students with the knowledge that anything is possible if you have the courage to take opportunities as they present themselves. To be nice, kind and to think about others. To demonstrate gratitude.

Breasts
All I can say is that the author has a very condescending attitude to women and seems to have an unhealthy obsession with their breasts!
