Dear David:

A sincere laudit or set of laudits must be given to People's Choice (TM) & Golden Globe Winner (TM) Tony Danza, Actor. He gave up a year of his life & moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where there is a teaching shortage. Under the supervision there at Northeast School (the City of Brotherly Love's largest), he used his Bachelor of History to go in and instruct Grade X (10) English classes. Truly a remarkable thing to do, and the fact by living on strictly a teacher's salary & taking no wages from the Arts & Entertainment (A&E) Network for the series (beyond expenses) he really took quite a pay hit.

I would strongly encourage students & their parents to watch this series when it debuts on A&E on October Ist, MMX. "Teach" the series definitely looks like a winner & Mr. Danza was very adept in deciding to do this when he had more lucrative stage offers on Broadway & Las Vegas. This will help him raise his profile & acting career options. More importantly, it will raise the profile of how important public education really is!

Regards,

Rory
