As the story begins, we see that Danny is having a hard time deciding which teacher to nominate for the award. His parents, who are both teachers themselves, have different opinions on the matter. Danny's mother believes that Mr. Lancer, their English teacher, is the most deserving of the award, while his father thinks that Ms. Tetslaff, their science teacher, should win.
