Ms. Brown and Ms. Wilson have different perceptions of the inner city students they teach at Harlem Ridge City School. Ms. Brown doesn’t like children and believes she is teaching the future delinquents of tomorrow. Ms. Wilson believes that all students deserve a second chance and the opportunity to get out of their drug infested neighborhood with a good education.
