Richard Sinay was a high school and college English and reading teacher for schools in Orange County, California, for thirty-five years. In his retirement, he spends most of his time playing golf, reading, and writing. He has five publications: Who We Met on the Way to Stanford: A Father’s Memoir, the story of who he and his son met in the golf world. Fittingly, the book How to Get a Golf Scholarship to Stanford: A Parent’s Guide is intended for those parents who want to see their golfer play for Stanford. His subsequent publication, Observations of America and My Ancestral Past: An Epistolary Autobiography, is a daily account of a twenty-five thousand-mile trip around the country. Recently, a new publication, Crazy Little Children Are Jangling the Keys of the Kingdom: The Estrangement Epidemic in America, was published. It is an examination of the estrangement epidemic in America. Finally, Confessions of an English Teacher: A Memoir of My Teaching Years is the first of his books about teaching English in California high schools and community colleges. He resides in Palm Desert, California, with his wife, Tina. Read more about this authorRead less about this author

Confessions of an English Teacher: A Memoir of My Teaching Years was written to share some of my extraordinary experiences teaching English at six high schools and seven community colleges in Orange County, California, from 1973 to 2018. I share these memories because they were so disappointing in their discovery.

I imagined that as an English teacher, I was prepared to teach the subject I was trained for, but I learned that was far from the truth. My training as an English teacher should have prepared me to teach essential skills.

It did not. As I reflect on my teaching at these schools, I discovered that my English degree needed to produce a prepared English teacher for teaching the skills of reading, grammar, and writing.

Looking back at what I was mandated to teach revealed a sad truth: teaching English to high school and college students was filled with traditions that needed to change. With what I discovered to be traditional problems in teaching English, I offer recommendations for change for high schools and community colleges.
