#8 Tony Danza: "I'd Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had"

from Freedom Writers Podcast · host Erin Gruwell and the Freedom Writers

Freedom Writer Tanisha Knight talks about her family's humble beginnings, her collegiate basketball career, and how education inspired her to become a teacher. Then in our featured discussion, actor Tony Danza joins Erin on the show to take us from a boxing ring in Brooklyn to his big break on the classic sitcom "Taxi." He then takes us to the moment where he chose a different stage and became a 10th grade English teacher at Northeast High in Philly. Tony discusses what motivates a person to want to teach, what kinds of challenges a teacher faces, and those magical moments in a classroom that make it all worthwhile.
