Publisher's Summary:
We conclude our nod to Teacher Appreciation Week today with Irish writer Frank McCourt he won the Pulitzer Prize for his first novel, Angela's Ashes. He died in 2009, but Bob spoke with McCourt about his memoir Teacher Man, which focuses on his three decades spent teaching English in New York City's public school system.
Then, Bob talks with another teacher. When talk turned to salaries at a dinner party a few years ago, a rich lawyer blurted out, "I mean YOURE a teacher, Taylor. Be honest. What do you make?" Taylor Mali took offense and since then has been on the offensive, defending the role and the profession of teachers. His poem "What Teachers Make" has been viewed millions of times on YouTube and Mali has written a book by the same name. [Broadcast Date: May 8, 2015]
