Book Synopsis How Political Correctness Weakens Schools by : Jim Dueck
Download or read book How Political Correctness Weakens Schools written by Jim Dueck and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-12-07 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education for this generation’s youth is the key for our nation’s future well-being but it is now threatened by political correctness. A politically correct environment seeks to avoid controversial issues by maintaining the status quo on matters related to workers in the education system while avoiding the best interests of the stakeholders, and it is for this reason that political correctness must be challenged on many issues in our school system, so that our children have a better chance for learning well and then living well. This book’s focus is on using accountability to pressure the system toward implementing reforms necessary for winning. It deals with educational policies, which are controversial and also identified by others for being problematic, rather than classroom practices. The solutions, or recommendations, proposed are intended to ensure that policies align with the best interests of students, parents, and taxpayers rather than with those of the service providers.

Download or read book School Sucks written by Mark Lopez and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-14 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you one of the millions who know there is something terribly wrong with the politically correct era we are in now? In this restrictive and too often cruel unjust world with its ideologically-driven censorship and merciless 'cancel culture', its increasing dystopian dysfunctionality, its threats to our democratic freedoms and its hostility towards so much of what made Western civilisation so dynamic, innovative, prosperous, tolerant, inclusive and successful, here is an account of a key dimension of this calamity, what went wrong in our high schools. Importantly, the sections of this book clearly explaining political correctness and postmodernism go beyond understanding education to help you to understand these terms and make sense of the world we live in. In regards to education, what is really going on in curricula and classrooms is revealed and explained. Every student, parent and grandparent needs to know this. As a private tutor since 1990, Dr Mark Lopez has been able to observe and reveal what the education bureaucrats don't want you to know but you need to know. The flawed but dominant progressive educational methodologies are explained and their negative impact is powerfully illustrated with the experiences of real students. Written in the spirit of the Enlightenment, in a clear, insightful and engaging style, at times you may find yourself laughing or crying as you discover that all your suspicions are confirmed. This devastating critique of the education system reveals it as characterised by irrationality, timewasting, and a stifling political correctness. The costs and ramifications of this are extensive. This led to Dr Lopez's inevitable conclusion regarding the state of education in the politically correct era: 'School sucks'.

Book Synopsis K–12 Education as a Hermeneutic Adventurous Endeavor by : Doron Yosef-Hassidim
Download or read book K–12 Education as a Hermeneutic Adventurous Endeavor written by Doron Yosef-Hassidim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considering the role of compulsory mass education and schooling in a democratic society, this book introduces an alternative vision for K-12 education as an "adventurous endeavour." Grounded in a strong theoretical framework, Yosef-Hassidim reveals the negative impact of instrumentalization of schools: when education is considered a social and political instrument, it serves dominant social forces’ interests rather than students’ or humanity as a whole. Offering conceptual and pragmatic frameworks to limit political influence on schooling, the author proposes a new hermeneutical structure that restores education’s agency and separates it from external social forces, and provides the foundation for regarding K-12 education as a sovereign social sphere in its own right.
Book Synopsis Citizenship Education in China by : Kerry J. Kennedy
Download or read book Citizenship Education in China written by Kerry J. Kennedy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a flourishing literature on citizenship education in China that is mostly unknown in the West. Liberal political theorists often assume that only in democracy should citizens be prepared for their future responsibilities, yet citizenship education in China has undergone a number of transformations as the political system has sought to cope with market reforms, globalization and pressures both externally and within the country for broader political reforms. Over the past decade, Chinese scholars have been struggling for official recognition of citizenship education as a key component of the school curriculum in these changing contexts. This book analyzes the citizenship education issues under discussion within China, and aims to provide a voice for its scholars at a time when China’s international role is becoming increasingly important.

Book Synopsis Safe Enough Spaces by : Michael S. Roth
Download or read book Safe Enough Spaces written by Michael S. Roth and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the president of Wesleyan University, a compassionate and provocative manifesto on the crises confronting higher education In this bracing book, Michael S. Roth stakes out a pragmatist path through the thicket of issues facing colleges today to carry out the mission of higher education. With great empathy, candor, subtlety, and insight, Roth offers a sane approach to the noisy debates surrounding affirmative action, political correctness, and free speech, urging us to envision college as a space in which students are empowered to engage with criticism and with a variety of ideas. Countering the increasing cynical dismissal—from both liberals and conservatives—of the traditional core values of higher education, this book champions the merits of different diversities, including intellectual diversity, with a timely call for universities to embrace boldness, rigor, and practical idealism.

It also teaches techniques that will bring success to women longing to build a supportive foundation in quality relationships with worthy men before they begin their search.
Download or read book Inside written by Joseph A. Califano Jr. and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2009-04-27 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joe Califano grew up in a tight-knit working class family in Depression-era Brooklyn. His parents instilled in their son a work ethic, sense of self, and devotion to Church that stayed with him as he rose through the ranks of America's ruling class. From Jesuit undergraduate schools to Harvard Law, influential law firms, Robert McNamara's Pentagon, Lyndon Johnson's White House, and Jimmy Carter's Cabinet, Califano was hard charging, effective, and committed to his causes—whether that meant reforming the military, working for equal rights for all, his struggle to be a committed Catholic in America, or finally his passion to combat addictions that ruin so many American lives. The book is called Inside, and that's where it takes us—inside his public and private life—as Califano worked in the power centers of three Democratic administrations. He shows us how hardball is often necessary to make government serve its people. Califano remained "inside" even out of government, representing the Washington Post and Democratic Party during Watergate. Inside is history, memoir, and a profoundly revealing personal drama of a powerful figure involved in many defining events of the last half century. It is a tale of how ambition, tenacity and courage, guided by deeply felt ethics, can move the world, from the inside.

This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology shares educational practices to engage young people in critical digital media consumption and production. Comprehensive frameworks and teaching guidance enable educators to empower students to use digital technologies to respond to the social, political, economic, and other critical issues in their real-life and online communities. Section I of the book explores philosophical and conceptual approaches to teaching civic participation via digital media and technologies in various educational settings, Section II focuses on the participatory civic approaches in K-16 art education classrooms, and Section III outlines these approaches for arts-based community settings (after school programs, camps, online sites). Throughout, authors reference different technologies – video, digital collage, glitch, game design, mobile applications, virtual reality, and social media – and offer in-depth discussions of pedagogical processes and exemplary curriculum projects. Building on National (NAEA) and State Media Arts Standards, the educational practices outlined facilitate students’ media literacy skills and digital citizenship awareness in the art classroom and provide a solid foundation for teaching civic-minded media making. Ideal for art and media educators within preservice and higher education spaces, this book equips readers to prepare their students to be thoughtful and critical producers of their own media that can effectively advocate for social change.
