I'd Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had: My Year As a Rookie Teacher at Northeast High | 
1. Tagged book was such a wonderful, humble text. Relished every word as an educator. 2. Love realistic fiction-Liane Moriarty or Fredrick Backman always deliver. 3. Jenny Lawson will make you laugh til ya cry.
pickEducators,what an enjoyable, affirming read! I laughed, cried, and saw myself in Danza's account of teaching English at a public Philly HS. At the heart of the book: portraits of students, teachers, and challenges of underfunded , overcrowded institutions. His struggles to keep students engaged amidst family struggles and adolescence remind us how incredibly tough,but rewarding our profession is. Told with self-deprecating humor and lots of heart.
This book underscores the complex dynamic of public education in the 21st century. Above--my older granddaughter who graduated HS last week.
Just a quick apology to @ScorpioBookDreams and @thegirlwiththebookishcandle for messing up the first #whodunituk post! I will make sure I wrap future packages properly before I send it next time!
Seeing as we are close to school starting I thought I'd throw this one out here for #recommendsday.Nice read by Tony Danza,which chronicles his year as a school teacher at Northeast High School in Philadelphia.Before he ever became an actor he had dreams of becoming a teacher.Its a witty and honest look at what it's like for teachers and students in public classrooms.Its eye opening, emotional and highlights how unappreciated this career can be.
so-soI recently found out that Tony Danza became a first year teacher the same year I did! I've always loved this guy, and while this book is not necessarily a captivating read, it does manage to depict an accurate snapshot of the modern teacher. It's funny, moderately inspiring, and sweet.
