A school for special needs kids in Cheltenham Pennsylvania, a suburb outside Philadelphia. He had suffered from dyslexia and emotional break down after his brother was killed in Vietnam. Eric takes on several after school jobs to prove to the school psychologist, Dr. Goldman, and the school authorities that he is now academically and emotionally stable enough to graduate and to be assimilated back into society. Or he will be placed back at Webster for another year in twelfth grade in public school to academically catch up to take the SAT and qualify for college.

Meanwhile, Eric finds himself falling in love with his history teacher. Carol Schor. At Webster, Carole sees Eric in only two ways, as one of her students and a trusted friend outside of school.

In reality, those kids who were tormented by their peers for taking the short yellow bus should not be ashamed or embarrassed or labeled retarded. Private schools don't usually agree with the teaching philosophies of the public schools or the excuses of ADD or ADHD, but believe some people just think outside the box no matter what size or color bus they travel on.
