High School Confidential by Jeremy Iverson is the true story of a 24-year-old man who decides to go back to high school as an undercover student. He attended a prestigious prep school and college, and all of his classmates were moving onto excellent careers, such as lawyers, doctors, or working on Wall Street. Jeremy did not know what he wanted to next, until the idea came to him. He had a difficult time getting a school to take him. Finally, he was able to go to Marauder High School in southern California. As far as anyone knew, except for the principal, he was a senior who transferred in for the second semester. The story details his experiences as a high school senior and explains how quickly he was able to adapt to his new surroundings.

It’s very important for us to teach our students our content, but also remember they have complicated lives. This book can help better grasp
