Host: Bob Stanley
Please join The Sacramento Poetry Center in welcoming Irving Rothstein, storyteller and author of It Couldn’t Have Been the Pay: A Life of Teaching and Learning in Public Schools, on Monday, 10/19, 7:30 p.m. at SPC (1719 25th Street in Sacramento). Rothstein taught in high schools and child care centers across San Francisco from the 1960s through the millennium. He got his start as a teacher in Sacramento while working for the California Department of Education. His memoir is a a personal look at education throughout the last half-century and an important reminder for everyone of how we really are all connected.
From the Midwest Review:
It is a refreshing personal antidote and an implied rebuke to the denigration of teaching as a profession that has been an all too familiar stance taken by political conservative, anti-intellectual elements of our state and national politics… “It Couldn’t Have Been the Pay” is one of those extraordinary memoirs that will linger in the mind and memory long after the book is finished and set back upon the shelf.
Don’t miss this fun night of stories. Join the event on Facebook. More info about Rothstein’s book at: http://www.rocinpublishing.com/it-couldnt-have-been-the-pay/.
