Excerpt from Guest Post:
The Wormhole asked: How did you get started writing a memoir?
I wrote, "The memoir, Crazy is Normal, a classroom exposé was born, first, in 1994 as a daily journal, when I decided to document my job as a high school English [four classes] and journalism [one class] teacher.
"At the time, I had no way to know that in the future, I’d actually use the journal to write a memoir. But without it, there was no way I would have ever remembered what happened on a daily basis. I’m not one of those rare individuals who have flawless memories that forget nothing and have instant recall for any moment in time. …
"I think my memoir offers dramatic, narrative evidence that it’s impossible to achieve a goal that mandates 100-percent of children by age 17/18 must be college/career ready—after all, at no point in history in any country in the world has this been achieved. In addition, there are already about three college graduates in the United States for every job that requires a college degree."
