Frank McCourt looks back on his thirty years as a teacher in New York public high schools, from his beginnings to Stuyvesant High School. He tells how he managed to connect with rebellious or indifferent teenagers by telling them stories from his life in Ireland, and how that experience of holding the attention of thousands of students made him a writer.

A suitable read for teachers and for those who enjoy memoirs and true stories about teaching.
