My First Year In Purgatory a book about teaching

Presented by independent author/illustrator

Website: www.myfirstyearinpurgatory.org

Local Author/ Illustrator will read from his memoir about life as a teacher: My First Year In Purgatory. In it, he leads two semi-functional lives: embattled educator by day whose students make Damien from the Omen look like a lightweight, and urban adventurer by night. He witnesses teachers driven out of classrooms by students they cant control, bullies given free reign to torment the weak, chaos that makes learning nearly impossible, and administrators who sweep discipline under the rug. After the reading he will give a brief Q/A session.
