The best acting, is no acting at all! Drop the act and Teach!

Frank McCourt author of Angela's Ashes, was a teacher in the New York schools long before he was an author. This clip describes his take on teaching...His book, "Teacher Man" documents his 30 years in the classroom, to live out his "American Dream" to be a teacher. Is this our "American Dream"?

Frank McCourt states in "Teacher Man"... ""the further away from the classroom a person in education goes, the more he gets in pay, prestige, and perks." Is this true?
