Tony Danza really represents a teacher. Give me a break!

I volunteer to do a reality show about a teacher going to work on a TV sitcom for many times my current salary.

i wonder how "real" it will be especially since the kids will see the camera and he'll have help.

How is it supposed to be a 'reality TV teacher' show if the reality star is NOT a teacher?

Tony Danza always wanted to be a teacher so he thought he would try it. He had one class of 26 students. You and I could have a pretty easy time of it with those conditions.

That was my school district. Since he isn't certified, Danza had a licensed teacher with him at all times. That must me nice.

I never heard how much of his lessons he actually wrote or how he did assessments, etc.

The teachers who encountered him said he was a natural, normal kind of guy who really cared about the kids in his class.

Once the show begins, I'm sure I'll get more information and I'll be happy to pass it on :)
