I'd Like To Apologize To Every Teacher I Ever Had by Tony Danza

In 2009, amid rumours of a stalled career, actor Tony Danza ditched L.A. to pursue his dream of becoming a teacher. He found himself leading an English class at an inner-city high school, reality-TV cameras capturing his every lesson as he faced his biggest critics yet: 26 grade 10 students. A heart-warming and surprisingly engaging retelling of that experience from a small-screen Hollywood star.

I'd Like To Apologize To Every Teacher I Ever Had, Tony Danza, $28.
