Saving Education: Americas Last Chance to Own Its Future
The Problem: The accelerating exodus of students from the traditional public elementary and high schools in the United States (U.S.) is creating public ghost schools. The situation is becoming critical and threatens the very existence of traditional public education in the U.S. This exodus movement is generated by a large number of students and parents who are significantly dissatisfied with current teaching and learning and seek alternative learning endeavors such as charter schools, private schools, and home schooling. It is also reinforced by the negative perception of students who have finished the system but vowed to never return (stay-outs), and by the critical number of students who have just plain given up, walked away disgusted, and dropped out (drop-outs).
The Reality The international ranking of the U.S. in education is commonly described as "mediocre" yet the U.S. is the world's leader in manufacturing, military, food production, space, etc. The U.S. high school drop-out rate is extremely high and reported SAT test scores (college admissions) are inexplicably low. The number of high school drop-outs, reported from multiple sources, appears to vary between 2.5 to 3 million per year while college reported drop-outs approximate 2 million per year. All together approximately 12,800 students drop-out of U.S. public schools each day of the calendar year. Numbers in themselves appear insignificant until one realizes that in just 6 calander days (less than a week) the number of drop-outs from U.S. schools and colleges would fill the Astrodome stadium in Houston Texas, to over capacity--in just 6 days Specifically related to this exodus movement is the observable fact that most U.S. public classrooms lack the necessary pre-preparation to teach using the world proven multiple ways people learn. The substitution for this lack of preparation is to learnby the specific way a teacher teaches--generally hearing and descriptive reading. Unfortunately, this specific way of learning is counterproductive to students who are more naturally focused to the other multiple ways people learn. The resulting conflict promotes academic difficulty and in too many cases culminates in student/parent dissatisfaction, stay-outs, and drop-outs. . Students and parents are consumer aware and pro-active. Many want more effective teaching and learning and they "see" it is not occurring--so now that they have other alternatives; they leave. Time, money, and enrollments are running out--it is "America's Last Chance to Own Its Future."
This Book: As a world leader in almost all areas of national productivity, except education, the U.S. has an inherent obligation to prevent our system of public education from fragmenting into an array of alternative learning endeavors. To save public education the U.S. must create schools recognized by the public as "schools of choice" rather than places to exit. The questions most persistently asked are: What do we need? Why don't we have it? How can we get it? Thus the perscriptive work--Saving Education: America's Last Chance to Own Its Future.

Описание: This is the first book to provide a broad yet balanced overview of the extraordinary events that led to the collapse of Hungary between October 1918 and March 1919. Pal Hatos reveals how, by the end of that period, Hungary had lost three quarters of its territory and was run by a brutal Bolshevik dictatorship. Combining social, political, and diplomatic history to show the rise and fall of the first Hungarian republic, Hungary’s Collapse in the First World War provides a lively history of the 1918 revolution in Hungary. It offers a wealth of new and revealing information based on extensive research and a much-needed exploration of this critical period in Hungarian history.

Описание:
Technical lands are spaces united by their "exceptional" status—their remote locations, delimited boundaries, secured accessibility, and vigilant management. Designating land as "technical" is thus a political act. Doing so entails dividing, marginalizing, and rendering portions of the Earth inaccessible and invisible. An anti-visuality of technical lands enables forms of hypervisibility and surveillance through the rhetorical veil of technology. Including the political and physical boundaries, technical lands are used in highly aestheticized geographies to resist debate surrounding production and governance. These critical sites and spaces range from disaster exclusion and demilitarized zones to prison yards, industrial extraction sites, airports, and spaceports. The identification and instrumentalization of technical lands have increased in scale and complexity since the rise of neoliberalization. Yet, the precise theoretical contours that define these geographies remain unclear. Technical Lands: A Critical Primer brings together authors from a diverse array of disciplines, geographies, and epistemologies to interrogate and theorize the meaning and increasing significance of technical lands.
