Abstract
In his book Teacher Man, internationally acclaimed writer Frank McCourt calculates that during his 30-year stint as an English teacher, he conducted at least 33,000 classes involving 12,000 students. This highly readable narrative of his life as a practising teacher-mainly in vocational and academic high schools in New York City-records some of the challenges he faced and the strategies he employed. McCourt's reflection on the reciprocity of teaching is likely to strike a chord with many professional educators. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
