Overview

"Confessions of an English Teacher was written to share the memories of teaching English at six high schools and seven community colleges in Orange County, California. From those experiences, I drew several conclusions about teaching English and public education. This story is not only about teaching English but about the problems associated with it. My observations are my ""confessions"" about teaching English and the world of education. The public may view education from the outside, but this is an opportunity to see it from the inside. Education is an institution like many others, and most can be improved. I make recommendations for those improvements. Perhaps those recommendations will be controversial, and if so, let the debate begin."
