I'm back! Of course, I want to talk about a book I just finished. No, it didn't take me months to read it-time just slips by. Teacher Man by Frank McCourt is a great book especially for teachers. Mr. McCourt doesn't mince words infact he "lets it rip" with all of the bad words that teachers would love to say and many times do- under their breath.

McCourt tells about the day by day trials and errors of being a high school teacher in New York City. I had to laugh about the fact that he was nearly fired in the first two days of his career. He definitely used unusual methods to capture the attention of his students. His students wrote excuse notes for historical figures including Adam and Eve.

This book wasn't nearly as good as Angela's Ashes or "Tis, but then, how do you match a Pulitzer Prize winner?
