I'm reading "I'd Like To Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had" by Tony Danza.

Now, before you see "Tony Danza" and roll your eyes ....

He does a very brave thing here, teaching English for one year in an inner city Philadelphia high school. I didn't know he graduated with a degree in History and always intended to become a teacher before he was sidetracked into professional boxing and acting. Very eye opening account of what it's like to be a public school teacher these days. So far every enjoyable. There's more to Tony than I realized.
