Confessions of a College Instructor

You must have heard of, or read To Sir, with Love, but this authentic but nightmarish portrait tells a funny, but touching story of a committed, idealistic teacher and the clueless, uncontrollable students in his charge. With hilarious anecdotes in horrifyingly foul diction, London was able to say his piece in a voice that is ferocious in its urgency as it is harrowing in its realism. When the teacher needed to get across to his students, he not only met them at their reading grade level, but also borrowed their foul language and their stinking attitude. Impish, irrepressible, and happily eccentric, London takes turns entertaining, damning, and shocking in this powerful and deftly written book that takes on the big issues of the marriage between the government's idealistic policy of no-child-left-behind, and the reality of some-children-deserve-to-be-left-behind.
