Book Synopsis The Case Against Homework by : Sara Bennett
Download or read book The Case Against Homework written by Sara Bennett and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2007-08-28 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does assigning fifty math problems accomplish any more than assigning five? Is memorizing word lists the best way to increase vocabulary—especially when it takes away from reading time? And what is the real purpose behind those devilish dioramas? The time our children spend doing homework has skyrocketed in recent years. Parents spend countless hours cajoling their kids to complete such assignments—often without considering whether or not they serve any worthwhile purpose. Even many teachers are in the dark: Only one of the hundreds the authors interviewed and surveyed had ever taken a course specifically on homework during training. The truth, according to Sara Bennett and Nancy Kalish, is that there is almost no evidence that homework helps elementary school students achieve academic success and little evidence that it helps older students. Yet the nightly burden is taking a serious toll on America’s families. It robs children of the sleep, play, and exercise time they need for proper physical, emotional, and neurological development. And it is a hidden cause of the childhood obesity epidemic, creating a nation of “homework potatoes.” In The Case Against Homework, Bennett and Kalish draw on academic research, interviews with educators, parents, and kids, and their own experience as parents and successful homework reformers to offer detailed advice to frustrated parents. You’ll find out which assignments advance learning and which are time-wasters, how to set priorities when your child comes home with an overstuffed backpack, how to talk and write to teachers and school administrators in persuasive, nonconfrontational ways, and how to rally other parents to help restore balance in your children’s lives. Empowering, practical, and rigorously researched, The Case Against Homework shows how too much work is having a negative effect on our children’s achievement and development and gives us the tools and tactics we need to advocate for change.

Because the machine, code-named Belch, is doing their homework for them, they start spending a lot of time together, attracting a lot of attention.

And boy does it flicker... and ignite... and nearly burn the entire neighbourhood down! Can Tash and Dean keep this newly lit flame alive and save their marriage?

Book Synopsis Memoirs of a Traveling Mama by : Amy Baden Horner
Download or read book Memoirs of a Traveling Mama written by Amy Baden Horner and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-02-03 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memoirs of a Traveling Mama is one very down-to-earth, middle-aged woman's account of her experiences in motherhood and the realization that she never seems to stop moving while awake. Her "travels" include not only trips back and forth from the kitchen to the dinner table every night, but also tales about the more exotic locales like Ireland and Mexico she is fortunate enough to visit. Often funny in retrospect, sometimes heart-wrenching while experiencing them, you will surely relate to these stories and probably find either yourself or another mama you know within them. For anyone who is a mama, or who has one, this book provides a light, comical, and contemplative read.

But one day, when Archie and company come looking for her help because Jughead is acting weird, Jinx and her BFF Danni embark on a mission to exorcize Jughead. It’s the two BFFs vs. Satan for the good of humanity—or at very least, for Jinx to just be free to be a normal 14-year-old girl who just happens to dabble in necromancy and rock ‘n’ roll.

Book excerpt: The path to freedom wasn't supposed to include falling in love. Identical twins Ali and Amir are in serious trouble. They’ve been imprisoned, accused of a crime that only one of them committed. As they await trial, they must learn to survive as inmates in a prison filled with sadistic guards—and werewolves. Good thing they’re werewolves too. Ali has no idea how to survive in this brutal world. It’s almost a relief when the cellblock alpha, Morgan, takes a liking to him and helps him adapt to prison life. Ali can’t resist the frightening, wild, and beautiful man, but too soon he learns that Morgan’s protection comes with a price. Amir’s struggled to cope since their mother’s death, letting Ali take care of the family. But now he’s terrified for his kind, sensitive brother trapped in the other cellblock with the prison’s notorious “alpha.” And for his teenage sister, trying to survive on her own. He finds a confidant in Ben—a transfer from another prison—who’s everything he isn’t: calm, careful, and charismatic. The pair grow closer, but Ben has a past, and Amir can’t risk sharing his own while freedom hangs in the balance. Afraid and alone, both brothers struggle to survive while the clock ticks on towards their trial. And overhead, the moon grows ever larger.
Book Synopsis Halfway to Infinity by : NEST+m Class of 2013
Download or read book Halfway to Infinity written by NEST+m Class of 2013 and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: STOP. RIGHT THERE. WAIT, NO. A LITTLE TO THE LEFT. Before you read any further, let this be a warning to you: If you happen to be looking for a beautifully crafted anthology of pieces written by distinguished and well-respected authors, this is not the book for you. If you happen to be looking for an exciting picture book detailing the ripping adventures of a frog and its friends, this is probably not the book for you, either. And if you happen to be looking for a cake recipe, a large snowshoe, bacon-shaped pencils, or rabbit carcasses, you should probably look elsewhere (or see a doctor). But, on the other hand, if you happen to be looking for a collection of stories, poems, essays, and other assorted compositions from a gradeful of teenagers, you need not look any further. This book is for you.

Thankfully not everyone in the Jones house hates mice. The children, Samantha and Cianan, love the little creatures and will do anything to protect them. Meanwhile, all the mice of Mouseland have other challenges that include a trio of rat bullies—Shake, Rattelle, and Roll—and a neighbor lady who also hates mice. When Mrs. Jones decides to have her home fumigated, she plans a family camping trip. After her children forewarn the mice, the tiny creatures decide they should go camping too. But there’s only one problem: the rat trio is up to no good. Now it is up to a homeless dog to save them all, before it is too late. In this delightful tale, a homeless dog and a group of mice teach a suburban family and other animals how to be kind and live in harmony.

Book Synopsis Well, This Is Exhausting by : Sophia Benoit
Download or read book Well, This Is Exhausting written by Sophia Benoit and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Bustle columnist and Twitter sensation Sophia Benoit, this “charming and often laugh-out-loud funny” (Vogue) memoir-in-essays explores the ins and outs of modern womanhood—from finding feminism, the power of pop culture, and how to navigate life’s constant double standards—perfect for fans of Shrill and PEN15. Like so many women, Sophia spent her formative years struggling to do the “right” thing—to make others comfortable, to take minimal and calculated risks, to live up to society’s expectations—only to realize that there was so little payoff to this tiresome balancing act. Tired of trying so hard, Sophia finally let go of the crushing pressure to be perfect. She navigates the highs and lows of the dating world (high: being a beta tester for Bumble; low: hastily shaving her legs before a hotel hookup and getting blood all over the sheets), and walks the line between being a “chill” girl and making sure her boyfriend’s nonchalance about altitude sickness doesn’t get him killed. She learns what it means to be a feminist, how to embrace her own voice, and when to listen to women who have been through more and have been doing the work longer. With topics ranging from how to be the life of the party (even when you have crippling anxiety), to an ill-fated consultation with a dietician who deemed Sophia’s overindulgence in ketchup a serious health risk, to a masterful argument for why no one should judge you for having an encyclopedic knowledge of reality TV, Well, This Is Exhausting is not only “one of the funniest books you’ll read this year, but it’s also one of the most important” (Shondaland).
