How many of us would dare to jump into a Philadelphia High School classroom with no real teaching experience? Credit to Tony Danza for his courage and commitment to understand the plight of teachers every where. I have always admired Tony Danza, but now I am inspired. A great read -should be mandatory for new teachers!
I highly recommend reading Tony's book about his year of teaching. I think Tony does indeed have a gift here. This book reminded me much of Frank McCourt's best-seller "Tiz." My only complaint is that I hope next time Mr. Danza takes a group of kids to see a fabulous Broadway show that he gets them some fabulous orchestra seats! :)
