Teacher Man by Frank McCourt Anyone teaching, interested in education or the development of children
should read Frank McCourt's story of his 30 years teaching in the New York
City public school system. McCourt's background from poverty in Limerick,
Ireland, to his rise as a best selling author (Angela's Ashes) gave him
keen insights into what lies within each of his students and how the
traditional big city educational structure and biases can hinder
development of each student's potential. But he persevered by remaining
true to himself. To quote from Amazon's review: " McCourt was too likable,
too interested in the students' lives, and too willing to reveal himself
for their benefit as well as his own." |
