Description
Anne Anderson had what many would consider a privileged upbringing. She was raised in an upper-middle class neighborhood, attended private schools, and frequented the country club with her well-to-do parents. But as privileged as her upbringing was, it was also disadvantageous... When Anne graduated from college, she was ready to begin her career as a teacher. But she was completely unprepared for what she was about to encounter. She accepted a teaching position in a culturally diverse and overcrowded public school, where she was pitted against disobedient children, bizarre parents, inept coworkers, and a cantankerous department chair who constantly criticized her and tried to get her fired. Needless to say, Anne was frustrated by her predicament. Yet, amazingly, she overcame it and went on to teach for thirty-five years, inspiring many other teachers-including her own daughter-along the way. Secrets from the Teachers' Lounge thoughtfully recounts the challenges Anne confronted in her career, as well as the humorous, sometimes scandalous, situations she witnessed over the years. As entertaining as it is enlightening, it's sure to appeal to anyone interested in the profession, providing an in-depth behind-the-scenes look at the clandestine world of teaching.
