TEACHER! dispels the myth that all racial minorities are criminal punks; confronts the pompous blowhard who parrots the saying, “Those who can, do; those who can’t do, teach”; and rejects the idea that there is a difference between the “real world” and “academics, or teaching”.
I’m a teacher and I love it. This book provides my colleagues some examples of success to give them some hope and reminds them why we do this. I also want to engage non-teachers in the curios difficult but fulfilling drama that is education.
I want you to laugh, weep and feel pride for that bunch of fellow Americans who have devoted their lives to helping raise, teach and direct our children, so read on.
Remember, teaching is not for sissies.
