description: An engaging, powerful, and emotionally penetrating memoir of what it takes a classroom teacher to survive in a large urban public school system. As he tells of being assaulted by an angry student during his first year of teaching, his effort at the end of his career to discipline a multihandicapped child, and his pain in dealing with a personal tragdy, Edward Joseph's humanity and honesty capture the reader's mind and emotions. Through vivid storytelling, the reader is with the author as he persists, and at times triumphs, during a long and intriguing career.
