Club or Secret Society: Bloomsbury Group
Faculty: Professors

Teaser:

Devington students could never suspect that, before teaching, Cunningham had tried their hand at a music career and one of their songs was even played on the radio. Unfortunately, that dream was never realised. Even more unfortunately, the faculty is all too familiar with their background, and shows little respect for Cunningham, whose academic record does not live up to the school's prestige.
They start at Devington as a substitute teacher on a temporary year-long contract during the junior year, but then surprisingly their tenure gets extended. A non-conformist, enthusiastic and engaging teacher who puts a great deal of passion into their new life mission, during the senior year they are in the precarious position of waiting for either a letter of dismissal, or permanent employment at the end of the year. Tensions with some colleagues and the headmaster do nothing to keep their worries at bay. This is aggravated by their desire to nurture free-thinking and critical minds, when it would be more prudent to take a more traditionalist approach and focus on improving the grades of their students.

Bloomsbury Group

This is the literature club, inspired by the historical group of which Virginia Woolf, among others, was a member. Its adherents are also editors of the school newspaper, the well-known 'Bloomsbury', famous for its sharp, ironic and biting remarks, always signed in the name of the editorial board, in order to protect the freedom of expression and the identity of its members. The Bloomsbury is always looking for sensational news and scandals: nothing matters more than truth and expressive liberty.

Relations:

You are particularly lenient towards S. Adams  , but you try to keep it secret. You have had disagreements with F. Sullivan   and B. Walters  , who do not respect you and would want you removed from the faculty. Unfortunately, Principal T. Conway   is keeping an eye on you.
E. Howton   seems like an interesting person, but the hostility of your colleagues stops you from making friends.
C. Coltman   often gives you good advice on how to reinforce your position and keep your job at Devington.
D. Jennings   sometimes invites you for drinks after classes.
You have a special interest in C. Evans  , R. Moore  , and D. Baker  , with whom you often chatted after class.
