Download or read book Underachieve with Ease written by Mark Allen and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-06-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advance praise for Underachieve with Ease: "Where was this book when I needed it?" (U. R. Anidiot, three-time divorcee) This is the book men and nosy women have been waiting for. Underachieve with Ease is the recently declassified manual of tried-and-sometimes-true secrets on how men can do as little as possible to satisfy the minimum requirements of marriage. This mother of all marriage books is liberally peppered with humor, outright speculation, and occasional inadvertent wisdom. In this book, men will learn valuable life skills such as how to avoid chores, cooking, and extended stays in the spousal doghouse. For women, this book answers the burning question: is there any hope of reforming my man into a functioning marital partner? Frustrated wives will mine important nuggets about how married men think and how to craft strategies to counter their chronic lack of effort. Any naive singles contemplating matrimony will also find this book a godsend as a warning for what lies ahead. The best news is this book is cheaper than therapy and may be tax-deductible. (Check with your accountant.) "Funny, clever and frighteningly wise." (Author's mother) "Joseph Pulitzer is rolling over in his grave." (Transylvania Literary Guild) Mark Allen is a maladjusted, cowering expert on the subject of matrimony, having been married thirty-plus years, with only three of those banished to sleeping on the sofa.

Book Synopsis Underachieving to Protect Self-worth by : Ted Thompson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this volume strives to present an integrated account of how failure avoidance may be reduced. Ted Thompson asks: why is failure so aversive and why do people to almost any lengths to avoid it? This is a book about implications for organising the context of classroom learning: how teachers may interact with students on a one-to-one basis in ways which foster positive achievement gains, strategies for enhancing self-esteem and productive attributions for achievement outcomes. The book also deals with counselling implications and strategies for enhancing student achievement. Finally, practicalities are discussed including steps which may be taken to limit evaluative threat in classrooms, thereby limiting failure-[avoidance and enhancing student achievement.

Book Synopsis Our Underachieving Colleges by : Derek Bok
Download or read book Our Underachieving Colleges written by Derek Bok and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-02-28 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on a large body of empirical evidence, former Harvard President Derek Bok examines how much progress college students actually make toward widely accepted goals of undergraduate education. His conclusions are sobering. Although most students make gains in many important respects, they improve much less than they should in such important areas as writing, critical thinking, quantitative skills, and moral reasoning. Large majorities of college seniors do not feel that they have made substantial progress in speaking a foreign language, acquiring cultural and aesthetic interests, or learning what they need to know to become active and informed citizens. Overall, despite their vastly increased resources, more powerful technology, and hundreds of new courses, colleges cannot be confident that students are learning more than they did fifty years ago. Looking further, Bok finds that many important college courses are left to the least experienced teachers and that most professors continue to teach in ways that have proven to be less effective than other available methods. In reviewing their educational programs, however, faculties typically ignore this evidence. Instead, they spend most of their time discussing what courses to require, although the lasting impact of college will almost certainly depend much more on how the courses are taught. In his final chapter, Bok describes the changes that faculties and academic leaders can make to help students accomplish more. Without ignoring the contributions that America's colleges have made, Bok delivers a powerful critique--one that educators will ignore at their peril.
Book Synopsis Black Children and Underachievement in Schools by : Dr. Frances Benskin
Download or read book Black Children and Underachievement in Schools written by Dr. Frances Benskin and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-20 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United Kingdom, the reason why so many Black children fail in the educational system is a cause of much debate. Previous research have pointed to a number of causes, such as their home environments, poor family background, deficiency in language, teacher expectation, and black workers position in the job market. The current work by Frances Benskin, on the other hand, seeks to investigate whether or not racism plays a part in the underachievement of Black children in schools. Specifically, the study seeks to address whether Black children have the same opportunity to good learning experiences and resources as their white counterparts, and does the school portray a good ambience in accommodating all children, or do they feel isolated by a system that does not cater for their needs. Through this book, Frances hopes that readers can get a better understanding of the effects of racism and how it can affect people's lives if it is not dealt with effectively, in Britain or elsewhere. The research shows that racism, stereotyping, cultural differences, assumed dialect or language differences played a part in undetermining the capability of black children.
