New York, NY : Imprint of Putnam Publishing Group, The, 1998. 200 p. ; 22 cm. Tracey Flick wants to be President of Winwood High. She's one of those ambitious girls who find time to do it all: edit the yearbook, star in the musical, sleep with her English teacher. But another teacher, staunch idealist Jim McAllister, aka Mr. M, thinks the students deserve better. So he persuades Paul Warren -- a well-liked, good-hearted jock -- to throw in his hat. But that puts Paul's sister, Tammy, in a snit. So she runs too, on an apathy platform, before starting a real campaign . . . to get herself kicked out of school. The idea was to educate the students at this suburban New Jersey school about the democratic process and the American way. But with all the sex scandals, smear campaigns, and behind-the-scenes power brokers at Winwood High, it doesn't look as if they need any lessons . . . 20220908. Teacher-student relationships Fiction.
