This is a great book for anyone who has taught junior or senior high school students. I totally lost it at with some of the scenes and often drifted back to my high school teaching days. The characters were well developed, and the narrator is someone We should applauded for his educational ideals. We need more teachers like the author of this memoir, and I'd love to read more of his tales of teaching. ( ) Brendan Halpin, high school English teacher extraordinaire, gives us this memoir of his first years in teaching. Although I'm not a teacher, I still found it inspiring, if only to know that other people struggle in their first years at a new career. It really brought me back to when I was in high school and it made me think about what kind of teachers I had and what kind of a student I was. It's interesting to see high school from a different point of view. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In his first nine years as a teacher, Brendan Halpin goes from wide-eyed idealist to cynical, heartbroken idealist. Unique among teaching memoirs, Losing My Faculties is not the story of a heroic teacher who transforms the lives of his hardbitten students; rather, it's the inspirational and often unpretty truth about people who choose to get up ridiculously early day after day and year after year to go stand in front of teenagers. It's also a rarely-seen, all-access view of both suburban and urban education, including the ugly truth behind the mythology at a much-hyped charter school.
