Frank McCourt Is Forever a Teacher Man (The Council Chronicle, Nov. 05): "Blogger"
Yesterday, the teaching and writing world lost a great master. Frank McCourt, the author of Angela's Ashes, 'Tis, and Teacher Man, passed away in New York City at the age of 78. McCourt was a high school English teacher at Stuyvesant High School in Brooklyn and the notable author of his humourous and painful memoir of life in the lanes of Limerick, Ireland - Angela's Ashes. If you haven't read anything by McCourt, I highly recommend Angela's Ashes and would be willing to loan my copy to you. If you are contemplating the wonderful career of teaching, Teacher Man is a must read.
Angela's Ashes was also made into a movie, but as always, the book is far better.

Do you happen to have a copy of Teacher Man?
ReplyDeleteI do. Would you like to borrow it? I can swing down to B-town, or if you find yourself in St. Joe in the near future, I can get it to you then. Let me know.
ReplyDeleteI would love to borrow it :D. I babysit for Mrs. V on Wednesdays and usually get done midafternoon. If it's ok with you I could stop by tomorrow.
