SLAVE SCHOOLS: Why Are Black Students Held in Bondage of Failing Schools? A Guidebook for Parents and Policymakers【電子書籍】[ Armand A. Fusco Ed.D. ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>SLAVE SCHOOLS WHY ARE BLACK STUDENTS HELD IN BONDAGE OF FAILING (SLAVE) SCHOOLS? Abstract This book is unique because it’s two books in one: Pt I includes all minorities to 2012; Pt II concentrates on black issues between 2012 to 2024 encompassing the racial agenda known as Critical Race Theory based on past slavery. However, it omits white slavery that started sooner, lasted longer and it was cheaper to buy white slaves than black slaves. More striking is that absolutely no mention is made of present-day bondageーslavery--where blacks are required by law to attend failing City Schools. Although there have been national and state reforms to close the achievement gap between blacks and whites none had succeeded. Among the efforts to do so is to eliminate meritocracyーmeasurementsーand without testing there is no gap to measure. Another effort is simply to lower standards which 37 states have done. Furthermore, to hide the problem is introducing a major disruptor that does nothing to improve academic achievement such as the racial agenda that is causing money woes, chaos and conflict among parents and school officials. In its extreme form the concept is infused in every school subject K-12 requiring indoctrination rather than education. That’s the real issue causing the conflict. The problem is vividly illustrated with on the 2022 NAEP results with 75% of students below proficiency in math and 67% below in reading with blacks at 16%. Then followed by test two states, the Connecticut Enigma; and the simple solution with the Mississippi Miracle. Very important is a step-by-step approach to show what blacks can do to bring pressure on school officials and school boards to close or turnaround failing schools by kneeling and striking. When all else fails, then do the school board nightmare.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 547円

Failing Upwards【電子書籍】[ Julian Caesar ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Failing Upwards is the classic coming of age story. Sort of. I spent a decade of my life depressed, angry and aimless. I responded to that with an amoral hedonism that at times, flirted with nihilism. At some point in that decade, something interesting happened-I realized I had an exceptional talent for being a troublemaker. What began as a response to discomfort with myself and the world around me, turned into intentional lifestyle choices. Failing Upwards is about how a Catholic schoolboy morphed into a clove smoking, whiskey spilling, licentious degenerate. Grab a seat. Grab a drink. These are the stories from a life lived questionably.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 644円

Socialist Agriculture In Transition Organizational Response To Failing Performance【電子書籍】[ Joseph C Brada ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Because of altered investment priorities, policymakers in socialist countries can no longer increase the resources devoted to agriculture as they have in the past. Instead, they must seek alternative means of improving agricultural performance. One approach has been to change the structure of socialist agriculture and to foster organizational changes within agricultural units. The contributors to this volume evaluate such reforms and weigh their implications for agricultural output and trade. They examine the normless links being introduced in the USSR and compare Soviet experiences with the successes of Chinese and Hungarian reorganizations; describe and analyze the changes being implemented in the German Democratic Republic, Yugoslavia, and Vietnam; and pay particular attention to the role of Polish agriculture in the production crisis and to agriculture's potential for improving Poland's overall economic performance. The contributors also address issues of infrastructure development, the incentives being developed to foster more efficient allocation of resources within the agricultural sector, and the likely growth of East-West and intra-socialist agricultural trade.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 8,060円

Failing Up A Professor's Odyssey of Flunking, Determination, and Hope【電子書籍】[ Barbara Hong, Ph.D. ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>KIRKUS STAR REVIEW</strong>--<em>Failing Up</em> was recognized as one of only 2% of books reviewed to earn a Kirkus STAR--the most prestigious designation in the book industry in awarding books of exceptional merit.<br /> <strong>"An absorbing, eye-opening narrative about the value of grit and education, sure to inspire a wide audience."</strong><br /> In this stunning debut memoir, Hong recounts her exceptional transformation from floundering student to flourishing professor. Born in Singapore to an uneducated mother and an alcoholic, abusive father, Hong grew up in severe poverty. She attended school against her parents' wishes. Despite her intellectual curiosity, she consistently failed her subjects because she couldn't keep up with the fast-paced, competitive, shame-inducing educational style.</p> <p>Hong's eloquent present-tense narration animates scenes of family strife and academic struggle and evokes an astounding range of emotions--commiseration, frustration, and eventually elation. Something is always developing, whether it's the narrator herself or the plot.</p> <p>Though the memoir charts the author's intellectual growth, it also considers complex family relationships, poverty, Southeast Asian culture and education, disability, and determination. Hong demonstrates, through her own experiences, the pleasures and rewards of scholarship and effective teaching, and her account underscores how ordinary people can have life-changing effects on others.</p> <p><strong>To read the full review, visit: kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/barbara-hong/failing-up/</strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,610円

Hidden Dangers Subtle Signs of Failing Schools【電子書籍】[ Betsy Gunzelmann ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Hidden Dangers in our schools have grown and intensified over the last few years; so much so that I was compelled to write a second edition to Hidden Dangers: Subtle Signs of Failing Schools. Our schools are complex places; each with its own unique climate, administration, faculty, students, parents and community members.<br /> Clearly, schools do not work in a vacuum; each is affected by the much larger society, government and economy. In this new edition we will be introduced to the interplay of these facets and how they can help and in some cases hinder our schools, our teachers, and our students from thriving. We also learn why it is more complicated now than ever, and the stakes are even higher than when Hidden Dangers was originally published back in 2008.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,219円

Misguided Advice: How Parenting Trends Are Failing the Next Generation and What We Can Do About It【電子書籍】[ Ernestina E. Rogers ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The landscape of modern parenting is littered with well-meaning advice, trends, and fads. But beneath the surface, a troubling reality is emerging: many of these widely accepted practices are doing more harm than good. <strong>"Misguided Advice"</strong> uncovers the hidden dangers of today's parenting trends and exposes how they are inadvertently hindering the development of our children. It's time to confront these trends head-on and shift our focus to what truly nurtures the next generation.</p> <p>The book begins by questioning the foundational beliefs that have shaped popular parenting advice. It explores how social media, well-intentioned parenting experts, and influencers have shaped what it means to be a "good" parent in today's world. Through this lens, it critically examines the consequences of these trends, such as over-scheduling, hyper-competition, and the pressure to constantly entertain or stimulate children. It highlights the subtle ways these practices can erode self-confidence, foster anxiety, and create unrealistic expectations for both parents and children.</p> <p>Rather than offering yet another list of "dos and don'ts," <strong>"Misguided Advice"</strong> takes a deep, introspective look at the cultural forces that have driven parenting decisions over the past few decades. It shows how societal pressures have led to a shift away from fostering emotional resilience, independence, and critical thinking in children. The book examines how these trends often prioritize short-term comfort over long-term growth, creating a generation ill-equipped to face challenges with confidence and grace.</p> <p><strong>"Misguided Advice"</strong> encourages parents to reevaluate what really matters in raising children. It shifts the conversation from surface-level techniques to the deeper, more meaningful principles that promote mental, emotional, and physical well-being. The book advocates for a return to foundational parenting practicesーthose that emphasize trust, boundaries, and respect for a child's innate abilities. It teaches that the true goal of parenting is not to shelter children from every difficulty but to guide them in developing the skills they need to thrive in a complex, sometimes harsh world.</p> <p>The book identifies several common trends that have gained traction in recent years, only to prove to be counterproductive. It explores the consequences of the overuse of technology and its impact on social skills, attention spans, and emotional regulation. It critiques the push toward constant achievement and the culture of "perfection" that puts undue pressure on children to be exceptional in every area of their lives. <strong>"Misguided Advice"</strong> challenges the current obsession with academic success at the expense of other critical areas of personal development, such as creativity, resilience, and empathy.</p> <p><strong>"Misguided Advice"</strong> also addresses the impact of these parenting trends on family dynamics. It explores how the pressure to conform to societal standards has strained relationships between parents and children, and between parents themselves. The book provides practical advice for creating a family environment that promotes connection, mutual respect, and shared values, rather than one that is driven by external expectations and cultural norms.</p> <p>Ultimately, <strong>"Misguided Advice"</strong> is not just a critique of current parenting trends; it's a call to action. It urges parents to reclaim their authority, trust their instincts, and make choices based on what truly benefits their children in the long term. The book provides a roadmap for shifting the focus from perfectionism and achievement to the cultivation of character, resilience, and emotional well-being. By rejecting the fleeting trends and returning to time-tested principles, parents can raise a generation that is grounded, capable, and ready to take on the challenges of the future.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,750円

Failing Sideways Queer Possibilities for Writing Assessment【電子書籍】[ Stephanie West-Puckett ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>Failing Sideways</em> is an innovative and fresh approach to assessment that intersects writing studies, educational measurement, and queer rhetorics. While valuing and representing the research, theory, and practice of assessment, authors Stephanie West-Puckett, Nicole I. Caswell, and William P. Banks demonstrate the ways that students, teachers, and other interested parties can find joy and justice in the work of assessment.</p> <p>A failure-oriented assessment model unsettles some of the most common practices, like rubrics and portfolios, and challenges many deeply held assumptions about validity and reliability in order to ask what could happen if assessment was oriented toward possibility and potential. Working to engage a more capacious writing construct, the authors propose queer validity inquiry (QVI) as a model for assessment that values failure, affect, identity, and materiality. These overlapping lenses help teachers honor parts of writing and learning that writing studies faculty have struggled to hold onto in a world overly focused on quickness and efficiency in schools.</p> <p>Through programmatic and classroom examples, <em>Failing Sideways</em> privileges what is valued in the classroom but traditionally ignored in assessments. Reimagining what matters in the teaching and learning of writing and using assessment data differently, this book demonstrates what writing can be and could do in a more diverse and just world.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,863円

Passed On Public School Children in Failing American Schools【電子書籍】[ Louise Marr ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A teacher reveals how current education policy is failing our kids through stories of her own students in the public schools of Philadelphia.</strong></p> <p>Since the passing of the No Child Left Behind Act in 2001, American schools have emphasized test scores to measure school performanceーforcing educators to “teach to the test.” Though teachers have fought to get rid of this detrimental trend, many corporate reformers turn a blind eye to the real problems teachers face today: classrooms filled with pregnant teens and children who cannot read beyond the third grade; violent neighborhood schools that are dangerously underfunded and underprepared to deal with their daily heartaches.</p> <p><em>Passed On</em> presents an honest and intimate portrait of the classroom experience in America’s failing school. Through stories of her own students in Philadelphiaーwhere violent crime is common and the poverty rate is highーLouise Marr reveals how the current corporate reform movement misunderstands what teachers and students need to succeed. Marr outlines the real problems in the schools today, offering a much-needed frontline perspective in the current school reform debates.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,112円

Normative Intermittency A Sociology of Failing Social Structuration【電子書籍】[ Gregor Fitzi ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book addresses the manifold crisis of current societies and understands it as a failure of normative social structuration. As an exemplar for this development, it analyses the decline of welfare state models and the corresponding societal compromise. Yet, it evaluates them as a symptom of a wider malaise of normative orders in complex societies. The question thus arises as to how social science can study the ongoing societal transformation. The book frames the phenomenon as ‘normative intermittency’ to capture its fluid alternation of social structuration and destructuration and develops its analysis in three steps: first, it draws a theoretically reflected symptomatic of its occurrences; it then establishes the sociological diagnosis necessary to understand its unfolding and finally evaluates its political outcomes. Methodologically, the book advocates a complete overhaul of the analytical frames of sociology to gauge the intermittent rhythm of the ongoing societal transformation. Thus, it develops an innovative reading of classical sociological theory beyond a number of unreflected axiomatic assumptions of the current sociological mainstream. Thanks to the assessment of the political outcomes of failing social structuration the book turns to a discussion of the development of possible emancipation paths in the form of ‘transformative social action’; reflexively, this accounts for the results of the sociological diagnosis of the crisis of normative social orders. The main analyses within the book scrutinise a number of empirical phenomena that establish normative intermittency in current societies and refer to the major debates that are taking place on the related topics in the state of art of sociological and political theory.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 14,585円

Detroit's School Failure By Design! Why Urban Schools Are Failing And How To Fix Them!【電子書籍】[ Roosevelt Williams ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book explains how Detroit earned its reputation as the worst public school system in the country. It is the story of one man’s attempt to teach his students traditional history in a Detroit classroom, and the District’s determination to stop him. Along the way, he was selected by the principal for “special assistance” because of the number of failing grades in his classes. Detroit officials disapproved of his students reading the textbook, preparing outlines as a study tool, his lecturing to students, and his insistence that his students work to pass his classes. That teacher, Roosevelt Williams, the author wrote the book so that the public can understand that urban schools are failing because of the decisions and policies of the school’s administrators.</p> <p>Using the administrative hearing transcripts, the teacher/author exposes the official’s thinking and the tragic consequences on the Detroit students. The Michigan Teacher Tenure Commission, charged with protecting tenured teachers, endorsed the dismissal decision, stating the Detroit Board: “sought to advance the learning process beyond the level of memorization and rote learning prevalent in appellant’s classroom to capture the attention of the students, to engage them in the learning process and to develop higher level thinking skills by the students.”</p> <p>Finally, the author points out a number of shortcomings to help the schools live up to their public responsibilities to the students and community.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 111円

Education Disrupted Strategies for Saving Our Failing Schools【電子書籍】[ Les Stein ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Failing schools have become the latest academic cottage industry, and they serve as lightning rods for the controversy that continues to surround the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Surprisingly, there are only a handful of books that address the topic of turning around failing schools and even fewer that provide a meaningful discussion on how individual schools should avoid failure from the outset.</p> <p>This book will help public school educators understand that turnaround efforts are based on sound leadership principles ? nothing more, nothing less. It also provides school leaders with the critical skills to turn around failing schools and, more importantly, prevent their schools from failing in the first place.</p> <p>Individual chapters address topics such as setting institutional priorities, establishing a positive school culture, improving communications, developing classroom leadership, putting the school on a sound financial footing, and using data to guide the school turnaround. In essence, this book serves as a practical guide for instructional and institutional leaders on how to make a "real” difference in the success of our nation's schools.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 6,028円

Divided Nations: Why global governance is failing, and what we can do about it Why global governance is failing, and what we can do about it【電子書籍】[ Ian Goldin ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>With rapid globalization, the world is more deeply interconnected than ever before. While this has its advantages, it also brings with it systemic risks that are only just being identified and understood. Rapid urbanization, together with technological leaps, such as the Internet, mean that we are now physically and virtually closer than ever in humanity's history. We face a number of international challenges - climate change, finance, pandemics, cyber security, and migration - which spill over national boundaries. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the UN, the IMF, the World Bank - bodies created in a very different world, more than 60 years ago - are inadequate for the task of managing such risk in the 21st century. Ian Goldin explores whether the answer is to reform the existing structures, or to consider a new and radical approach. By setting out the nature of the problems and the various approaches to global governance, Goldin highlights the challenges that we are to overcome and considers a road map for the future.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 754円

Never Enough for Yourself: The Fear of Being Seen, the Fear of Failing, and the Anxiety That Keeps You Paralyzed【電子書籍】[ Walter L. Joyce ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>For those caught in the relentless grip of self-doubt, there is a silent, ever-present fear that keeps them from moving forward. A fear of being seen, of showing their true selves to the worldーcoupled with a constant, nagging anxiety about failing. These emotions don't just hinder progress; they paralyze, keeping you locked in a cycle of inaction, constantly second-guessing, and unable to move toward your goals with confidence.</p> <p><em><strong>Never Enough for Yourself</strong></em> dives deep into this paralyzing fear, providing an insightful exploration of the psychological factors at play. It uncovers how the fear of exposureーthe anxiety that accompanies the idea of being judged or scrutinizedーprevents people from living authentically. This book takes a hard look at why we avoid being seen for who we truly are, how we sabotage our own potential, and the cost of living in this self-imposed hiding.</p> <p>Throughout this book, readers will gain a clear understanding of how the fear of failure and the overwhelming sense of never being <strong>"enough"</strong> keep them locked in a state of constant self-doubt. The narrative doesn't just highlight the problem; it dissects the internal dialogue, offering a clear map of the mind's constant battle between ambition and insecurity. It challenges the idea that failure is something to be avoided at all costs and shows how this mindset actually limits growth.</p> <p>Each chapter is dedicated to unmasking a layer of fear that holds people backーfear of being judged, fear of being vulnerable, fear of not measuring up. By dissecting the nuances of these fears, the book reveals how they quietly dictate actions, keeping the individual from taking risks or stepping into new opportunities. The narrative brings light to the fact that these fears are often rooted in deeper insecurities, learned behaviors, and societal expectations that have been internalized over time.</p> <p>What becomes clear is that the anxiety driving these fears isn't merely about the fear of external judgment or failure. It is a fear rooted in the very core of self-worth. The idea of never being enough creates a deep sense of inadequacy, which further reinforces the cycle of avoidance and paralysis. The book shows how individuals are caught in this loop, never quite able to embrace their full potential because they are trapped in a state of constant self-criticism.</p> <p>Through real-life examples and insightful analysis, <em><strong>Never Enough for Yourself</strong></em> shows how fear manifests in various aspects of lifeーfrom work to relationships, from creativity to self-expression. The constant pressure to prove oneself, to meet expectations, and to avoid mistakes, prevents people from taking the necessary steps toward success. The book explores how even those with apparent outward success can be secretly drowning in their own insecurities, afraid that any misstep will expose their inadequacies.</p> <p>But the book does not leave readers in this state of helplessness. It also provides practical guidance for how to break free from these fears and anxieties. Through a series of exercises and strategies, it empowers readers to challenge the beliefs that fuel their self-doubt. The book encourages shifting the focus away from perfection and external validation to self-compassion and acceptance. It offers tools to help readers confront their fears head-on, allowing them to take the necessary steps toward personal growth and self-empowerment.</p> <p>What readers will find most valuable is the sense of clarity they will gain from this book. It's not about simply identifying fears but understanding how these fears operate and how to disrupt them. By understanding the mechanisms behind the fear of failure and the anxiety of never being enough, readers can start to shift their mindset and take bold actions without being paralyzed by self-doubt.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,050円
