I'd Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had: My Year as a Rookie Teacher at Northeast High
- Used Book in Good Condition
Iâ€™d Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had is television, screen and stage star Tony Danzaâ€™s absorbing account of a year spent teaching tenth-grade English at Northeast High -- Philadelphiaâ€™s largest high school with 3600 students.Â
Â
Entering Northeastâ€™s crowded halls in September of 2009, Tony found his way to a classroom filled with twenty-six students who were determined not to cut him any slack.Â They cared nothing about â€œMr. Danzaâ€™sâ€ showbiz credentials, and they immediately put him on the hot seat.Â
Â
Featuring indelible portraits of students and teachers alike, Iâ€™d Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had reveals just how hard it is to keep todayâ€™s technologically savvy â€“ and often alienated -- students engaged, how impressively committed most teachers are, and the outsized role counseling plays in a teacherâ€™s day, given the psychological burdens many students carry.Â The book also makes vivid how a modern high school works, showing Tony in a myriad of roles â€“ from lecturing on To Kill a Mockingbird to â€œcoachingâ€ the football team to organizing a talent show to leading far-flung field trips to hosting teacher gripe sessions.
Â
A surprisingly poignant account, Iâ€™d Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had is sometimes laugh-out-loud funny but is mostly filled with hard-won wisdom and feel-good tears.
