William Snyder

Opis

The plan was to teach for a year, make a little dough, and get back to doing stand-up comedy. The comedy routine got lost in the shuffle and William Snyder's one year gig stretched into a 29-year career that included stints teaching at inner-city schools, Catholic schools, charter schools, accommodation schools, and boys reformatories, in addition to working as a satellite TV teacher and teaching at an upper-middle-class "normal" school that turned out to be anything but normal. William Snyder's stories are gritty, poignant, funny, and often bizarre, honestly recounting the triumphs and disasters associated with teaching poor kids, rich kids, incarcerated kids, immigrant kids, pregnant kids, autistic kids, and just about any other kinda kid you might imagine.
