Kudos to Ed Boland, and I hope he makes a fortune on the book.
I'm not really sure I'm interested in reading it, it'd be like reading about work. All teachers everywhere have the exact same stories, only the colors of the faces and the accents change.
Nationwide there has to be a couple of hundred thousand of us who teach in big-city lower-income schools. If you are beyond second-generation poor in America there's prob'ly a reason for that and it ain't due to racism or discrimination. 90% of kids at least reflect how they were raised.
The only thing I would question about Mr Boland's book is those of us who teach every year, including myself, are suspicious of those who put but a single year in and then quit.
