  • Before

  • time
  • in
  • high
  • school
  • in
  • the
  • suburbs
  • of
  • New
  • York
  • City
  • as
  • well
  • as

  • harsh
  • memories
  • of
  • working
  • in
  • special
  • education

  • teacher,
  • The

  • and
  • sometimes
  • harsh
  • view
  • of
  • education,
  • David
  • presents
  • five
  • honest
  • portrayals
  • of
  • schools
  • and teaching.
