I've just finished listening to Frank McCourt's latest work, Teacher Man on CD. McCourt is the Pulitzer Prize winning author of Angela's Ashes and 'Tis.
As I travel the highways and byways of Iowa, I have listened to dozens of books on tape (mostly nonfiction) and was really moved by Teacher Man. McCourt taught in the public High Schools in New York City for over 30 years. His stories are your stories. As I've listened to you in your school hallways and staff lounges, there is a common thread. We must meet the human needs of our students first before we address their academic needs. McCourt's book will touch your heart!
