Book excerpt: In this, the sequel to his critically acclaimed and controversial The End of Homework, John Buell extends his case against homework. Arguing that homework robs children-and parents-of unstructured time for play and intellectual and emotional development, Closing the Book on Homework offers a convincing case for why homework is an outgrowth of broader cultural anxieties about the sanctity of work itself.After the publication of Buell's previous book, many professional educators portrayed reducing homework as a dangerous idea, while at the same time parents and teachers increasingly raised doubts as to its continued usefulness in education.According to John Buell, the importance of play is culturally underappreciated. Not only grade schoolers, but high school students and adult workers deserve time for the kind of leisure that fosters creativity and sustains a life long interest in learning. Homework is assigned for many reasons, many having little to do with learning, including an accepted, if unchallenged, belief that it fosters good work habits for children's futures. As John Buell argues convincingly, homework does more to obstruct the growth of children's minds, and consumes the time of parents and children who may otherwise develop relationships that foster true growth and learning.A unique book that is sure to fuel the growing debate on school reform, Closing the Book on Homework offers a roadmap for learning that will benefit the wellbeing of children, parents, and teachers alike.John Buell on homework:Homework does not convey the academic benefits its proponents promise.As currently constituted, [it] is a largely ineffective and overly burdensome practiceIt not only creates especially serious barriers for poor families but also unnecessarily limits other forms of personal development and leisure time that are essential even to education and working life themselves.Families asked to monitor and assist in homework are increasingly burdened by the demands of their own jobs.Homework is closely connected to and rationalized by all the demands on family time, and the time has come to examine those demandsI resent homework intensification not because I am lazy or want to spare children all challenges and difficulties but because I want to instill the character and self-discipline I admire. I want children to have gradually expanding opportunities both to manage and be responsible for free time.Scholarly studies of homework's ability to deliver in even such short-term and narrow areas as test scores and grades yield at best uneven results.Many studies of homework show no correlation-or even indicate an inverse relationship-between homework and a student's performanceYoung children reach a saturation point [for absorbing new information] far more quickly than adults...fatigue and an inability to sustain concentration is likely to be a substantial factor in learning.All claims that homework critiques involve a war against the poor systematically disregard important evidence.Some students who are doing their homework conscientiously will nevertheless test poorly simply because test-taking is not their forte.It is hard to recognize from homework where a child is having difficulty; it is even harder to find just why.The claim that homework evokes long-term discipline [is] largely unsupported by extensive empirical work, but there is reason to believe that many other extracurricular factors in the life of a child and young adult contribute substantially to this virtue. Author note: John Buell is a columnist for the Bangor Daily News, and co-author (with Etta Kralovec) of The End of Homework: How Homework Disrupts Families, Overburdens Children, and Limits Learning.

This book was released on 2009-01-31 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helping Your Children with Reading and Writing at Home By Mary Ann Colbert & Dr. William P. Colbert There really is no place like home when it comes to developing competent readers and writers. And with the aid of our new world changing guide the process and the goal of developing lifelong readers and writers will be greatly facilitated. Many years ago we set about finding out what type of reading and writing help parents and other adults were giving children and how it was working, We asked everyone and anyone who would talk with us and we came up with some rather startling information to share in our guide. Now talking with parents, grandparents. adults and children about the reading and writing activities they have experienced at home is second nature to us. Through the years, we have discovered that a great many things arc happening in American homes relative to helping children in these areas and even greater things are possible. The purpose of our book (We like to call it a guide.) is to awaken parents. grandparents and other adults, who work with children, to the great possibilities that are open to them that will revolutionize learning now and for future generations. The ideas, suggestions and strategies in our guide step off from the interests of the learners (which are the best indicators of what the children are ready and able to learn next) as opposed to curriculums and textbooks which often have an iron grip on what is available for young students to learn. We show our readers how to take advantage of the great knowledge they have about their children and how to use it to guide their children’s learning., and, more especially. to identify what is the next appropriate step for their children to take in their learning. All this is done in the home setting with family members participating and sharing the fruits of their learning labors. Besides giant leaps in learning, families can expect outstanding growth in family interpersonal relationships. The family is actually drawn closer together by sharing their diverse interests.. At the onset of the guide adults are asked to compare their thinking on reading and writing learning with some of the experts in the field via a true-false checklist. This technique totally involves parents with the book from the start. and parents are often surprised to see how their thinking coincides with experts in the field. The next section contains three case studies that illustrate, in detail, exactly what some very effective adults did to further the reading and writing skills of the children with whom they worked. The third sections contain some precise strategies that parents and other adults can begin using today with their children. The next sections identifies what children see as effective reading and writing strategies that are used by parents and their teachers. Section five is a summary of some ideas of some great teachers of reading and writing. The ideas here are undergirded by some sound learning principles which every adult, who works with children, will want to know about. The final section ends much like the guide begins with a checklist of some true - false items that will help guide parents and other adults to increasing success in helping their children with reading and writing at home.

Book excerpt: In this updated edition, Cathy Vatterott examines the role homework has played in the culture of schooling over the years; how such factors as family life, the media, and "homework gap" issues based on shifting demographics have affected the homework controversy; and what recent research as well as common sense tell us about the effects of homework on student learning. She also explores how the current homework debate has been reshaped by forces including the Common Core, a pervasive media and technology presence, the mass hysteria of "achievement culture," and the increasing shift to standards-based and formative assessment. The best way to address the homework controversy is not to eliminate homework. Instead, the author urges educators to replace the old paradigm (characterized by long-standing cultural beliefs, moralistic views, and behaviorist philosophy) with a new paradigm based on the following elements: Designing high-quality homework tasks; Differentiating homework tasks; Deemphasizing grading of homework; Improving homework completion; and Implementing homework support programs. Numerous examples from teachers and schools illustrate the new paradigm in action, and readers will find useful new tools to start them on their own journey. The end product is homework that works—for all students, at all levels.

This book was released on 2023-02-06 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘O Captain, My Captain’ is a book about one teacher’s hope for change in the Irish education system. It is written in an engaging style that draws on personal experience as well as research. It aims to reach anyone interested in education, from teachers and academics to parents and young people. The book imagines what our education system might look like without the Leaving Cert and the CAO system. It considers the type of learning that might happen in our classrooms without the demands of a single set of high-stakes exams. It suggests that our students and our broader society might be more fulfilled and safer as a result. In the opening chapters the author considers attitudes towards teachers in Ireland. The author suggests a breakdown in this respect, linked to the classrooms of the past and a growing pressure on students to perform well in a market-run system. Our competitive drive in education is presented as yet another form of oppression in our country – following on from the abuses of the Church and colonialism. The book makes the claim that removing the stress and the singularity of the Leaving Cert could liberate Irish students. There is a deep concern for social justice throughout. In the later chapters the author places much focus on the importance of objective sex education in Irish schools, referring to rising rates of harassment and violence in our universities. The writer believes that a removal of a rigid, academic approach to education would allow more time to discuss the physical and social realities of young people’s lives and bodies. The book closes where it began, in considering the role of the teacher – what the parameters of that role should be in a classroom devoted to helping children find their own individual paths and encouraging them to tell their own stories.

Download or read book Public and Private Education in America written by Casey D. Cobb and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title will give students and other readers a clear understanding of the true state of public and private education systems in the United States by refuting falsehoods, misunderstandings, and exaggerations—and confirming the validity of other assertions. This work is part of a series that uses evidence-based documentation to examine the veracity of claims and beliefs about high-profile issues in American culture and politics. Each book in the Contemporary Debates series is intended to puncture rather than perpetuate myths that diminish our understanding of important policies and positions; to provide needed context for misleading statements and claims; and to confirm the factual accuracy of other assertions. This particular volume examines beliefs, claims, and myths about public and private K–12 education in the United States. Issues covered include categories of public and private schools and variations in academic performance and socioeconomic status therein; controversies surrounding school choice, including school vouchers and charter schools; accountability and assessment of private and public schools; debates about school environment, safety, and curricula; and teacher and administrator quality. All of these issues are examined in individualized entries, with objective responses grounded in up-to-date evidence.

This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through its research-to-practice focus, this book honors the professional contributions of Professor Barry J. Zimmerman as illustrated by the recent selfregulation applications of a highly respected group of national and international scholars. This book will serve as a valuable resource for those interested in empowering and enabling learners to successfully manage and self-direct their lives, education, and careers. In particular, K-12 educators, college instructors, coaches, musicians, health care providers, and researchers will gain invaluable insight into the nature of self-regulation as well as how they can readily apply self-regulation principles into their teaching, instruction, or mentoring. Emergent trends in education and psychology circles, such as linking selfregulated learning assessment and interventions as well as the use of technology to enhance student learning and self-regulation, are additional themes addressed in the book. The kaleidoscope of self-regulation issues addressed in this book along with the wide range of promising intervention applications should also prove to be particularly appealing to graduate students as they pursue their future research activities and seek to optimize their individual growth and development.

Book excerpt: She’s the best violinist her inner-city high school has ever seen. He’s on the fast track to nowhere. For Nick and Fallon, it starts with a kiss—a kiss that becomes the calm before their storm. Because Nick is not the only guy in love with Fallon, and Fallon is not the only girl with her eyes on Nick. As Nick’s past returns to haunt him, Fallon’s home situation will shift from precarious to dangerous, leaving them both to pick up the shattered fragments of a life from which they were desperately trying to break free. Can Nick shed his slacker skin to prove himself worthy of the girl he fell in love with on a playground almost a decade ago? Can Fallon take a leap of faith, opening her heart to the guy who, despite his shadows, is promising to be her everything? Because if they can, they just might find a happily ever after they were too scared to even imagine. *In addition to spending more than 100 days on the Amazon Teen Top 100 Bestseller List in its first year of release, Klein’s CROSS MY HEART was also a 2011 Goodreads Choice Awards Nominee for Best YA Fiction.
