MISTA tells the story of a year in the life of an inner city English teacher at an alternative high school. It details the day-to-day interactions with students, teachers, administrative staff and parents, and delves into problems and issues that teachers can never adequately prepare for.

My main rule was that I wouldn't be called "Mista" I thought the students would show me respect if they identified me as a person and not just any white guy they had to listen to in school. I introduced myself as Mr. Kaminski and wrote my name on the chalkboard. I asked the students to repeat if I mispronounced them. When I was saying my name, one girl said, "Ka-what? I ain't sayin that." So Mr. K was the compromise. At least it wasn't Mista.
