Product Details
- Schimmels’ Maxim: The Quixotic Yet Heartwarming Adventures of an Inner-City Teacher. A love story. Thrust into a rough-and-tumble inner-city school in Tucson, Arizona, author Alan Voelkel overcomes the crushing and overwhelming challenges of a beginning science teacher to ultimately help transform this once failing school into an academic powerhouse. Inspired by a throwaway line uttered by a favorite college professor, Mr. Voelkel discovers that Dr. Schimmels’ wise words contain the secret sauce to motivate and inspire his students to accomplish things no one thought possible, and in the process, infuse his teaching with crackling intensity and life-affirming vision. The book is filled with both hilarious anecdotes and heartfelt stories of pathos and redemption guaranteed to warm the reader’s heart and inspire them to live life to the fullest. The reader need not be familiar with the teaching profession to fully appreciate the humanity and practicality of this true, biographical account. Mr. Voelkel’s love for his students shines through on every page as he compassionately narrates their struggles and challenges, and revels in their ultimate, astonishing triumphs. This book will restore your faith in humanity and in the teaching profession.
