quote:
He then created a situation comedy based on his high school class and the characters that were there with him. Instead of being their contemporary he made his character the teacher and "Welcome Back Kotter" was born.

From a different site:

quote:
Welcome Back, Kotter was based on Gabriel Kaplan's experiences in the remiedial class where a teacher just like Kotter cared dearly about her students.

That's kind of a sweet story, don't you think?
