I was delighted with this book because I,too, was a teacher and had many of the same problems and many of the same kinds of students. I just wish I had been as creative as Frank McCourt. For teachers there are many joys, many laughs, and many poignant moments or should be. Frank McCourt describes these moments so well. I can not repost the book because I sent it right off to an old colleague who will enjoy it as much as I did.
I have just realized that I rated the wrong book. The comment above refers to Teacher Man. I also requested Tis but have not read it yet. I know it will be good because Angela's Ashes and Teacher Man appealed to me. How can Frank McCourt go wrong! Sorry about the mixup.
