Product Description

My Life as a Public School Teacher: Leave No Teacher Behind is an autobiography about my thirty-year career as a middle school teacher in Florida. I will discuss the problems surrounding teaching, which include "the system," also known as the administration; the parents and general public who lack respect for the classroom teacher, passing that attitude onto their children; and the children themselves who want to socialize and be disrespectful. I have combined stories of good experiences and memories I had of teaching students with not-so-good memories of administration and "big brother" tactics. I want to also share with my readers my experiences as a faculty representative of the teachers' union. The birth of "Hollywood" was the greatest teaching experience of my life! A physical and psychological transformation occurred in me, which created the teaching of American history through rock 'n' roll music. I want you to read and enjoy this book. You will laugh, cry and get really mad at the plight of teachers in America! After you read this book, I want you all to answer these questions: "Why are teacher salaries so low?" and "Why are teachers not given the respect they deserve in America?"
