Show Summary
Mr. Kotter, a Brooklyn-born teacher, returns to
the inner-city high school from which he had
graduated 10 years earlier to teach a
remedial academics group. Gabe's "sweathogs"
were the outcasts of the academic system,
streetwise but unable or unwilling to make it
in normal classes. They were the toughest, and
also the funniest, kids in school. Gabe was
just as hip as they were, with fine disregard
for rules and a sense of humor he set out to
help them pick up a little bit of practical,
if not academic knowledge, during their
years at James Buchanan High.
