    "description": "<p>I&rsquo;d Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had&nbsp;is television, screen and stage star Tony Danza&rsquo;s absorbing account of a year spent teaching tenth-grade English at Northeast High -- Philadelphia&rsquo;s largest high school with 3600 students.&nbsp; &nbsp; Entering Northeast&rsquo;s crowded halls in September of 2009, Tony found his way to a classroom filled with twenty-six students who were determined not to cut him any slack.&nbsp; They cared nothing about &ldquo;Mr. Danza&rsquo;s&rdquo; showbiz credentials, and they immediately put him on the hot seat.&nbsp; &nbsp; Featuring indelible portraits of students and teachers alike,&nbsp;I&rsquo;d Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had&nbsp;reveals just how hard it is to keep today&rsquo;s technologically savvy &ndash; and often alienated -- students engaged, how impressively&nbsp;committed&nbsp;most teachers are, and the outsized role counseling plays in a teacher&rsquo;s day, given the psychological burdens many students carry.&nbsp; The book also makes vivid how a modern high school works, showing Tony in a myriad of roles &ndash; from lecturing on&nbsp;To Kill a Mockingbird&nbsp;to &ldquo;coaching&rdquo; the football team to organizing a talent show to leading far-flung field trips to hosting teacher gripe sessions.</p>",
