Episode 2: Joe Bonfiglio

Jim interviews one of the people who first inspired him to become a teacher, and somebody who has always encouraged his journey in the classroom: Mr. Bonfiglio, his high school English teacher. Joe walks Jim through his own journey into the classroom, what it was like to be a teacher making less than $6,000 a year, what educational practices he thinks have staying power over the years, and why the classroom is such a sacred place.
