"Boston Public," created by noted TV producer David E. Kelley, offers a dramatic and sometimes comedic look into the lives of teachers and administrators at Boston's Winslow High School who struggle to command respect from their jaded students and succeed-at-all-costs parents. The show focuses on the work and private lives of the school's teachers, administrators and students, with the work and private lives often intersecting. The title of each episode of the series is a chapter number, such as the fifth episode being titled "Chapter Five."
