Description:
Frank McCourt was one of those teachers who fell into the job whilst secretly wishing he could do something else (in his case, a writer - an ambition he has now achieved). As a result this is a curious memoir of a man who has spent many years reluctantly at the chalk face. He conveys something of the workload of a typical classroom teacher: all that lesson planning and marking; and also the difficulties of idealistic teacher battling with technocratic school authorities. bookstealer
