This book argues that the structure of public education is a key factor in the failure of America's public education system to fulfill the intellectual, civic, and moral aims for which it was created. The book challenges the philosophical basis for the traditional common school model and defends the educational pluralism that most liberal democracies enjoy. Berner provides a unique theoretical pathway that is neither libertarian nor state-focused and a pragmatic pathway that avoids the winner-takes-all approach of many contemporary debates about education.

Sam Bankman-Fried was one of the wealthiest people in the crypto world, due to his FTX exchange and Alameda Research trading firm, until his empire came crashing down in November 2022. Investors started to withdraw their money from FTX at a rapid rate, which led Bankman-Fried to declare bankruptcy for FTX, FTX's U.S. operations and Alameda Research. It's a remarkable downfall for Bankman-Fried, who was praised as a modern J.P. Morgan for his ability to rescue crypto companies in trouble, before his own business imploded. This book gives details of the charges and the defense to be, his ...

Near the start of the 19th century, as the newly established United States looked outward toward the wider world, a group of eminent Protestant ministers formed a grand scheme for gathering the rest of mankind into the redemptive fold of Christianity and "civilization". Its core element was a special school for "heathen youth" drawn from all parts of the Earth, including the Pacific Islands, China, India, and increasingly, the native nations of North America. If all went well, graduates would return to join similar projects in their respective homelands.

«El hombre no deja de jugar porque se vuelve viejo. Se vuelve viejo porque deja de jugar.» Bernard Shaw.

With this audiobook, we want to let our listeners know how vibrant and lively (as well as deadly) life in Britain was during the perhaps wrongly-titled “Dark Ages”. With the end of the Roman Empire, the local Britons were left to their devices, and it would be several people groups from a peninsula in Central Europe that would come to dominate the island, making sure their presence was known through a series of kingdoms, battles, clashes, victories, and defeats.

American sociologist Jack A. Goldstone examines the causes of revolutions and uprisings in the period between 1500 and 1800. Investigating cases in both Europe and Asia, the conclusions he reaches are surprising. Many thinkers had previously believed that Europe's distinctive history - and particularly the rise of capitalism - had created the specific revolutions and political changes that launched the continent on a path to global supremacy. Goldstone says this is wrong, and that European and Asian states were, in fact, all experiencing similar developments.

So I touch on areas of my life that had great influence on my development. I hope anyone who wishes to read this will find it interesting and maybe even pertinent to their own life and development. Maybe there is something to be learned here.

It guides listeners through the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual development of the child from life inside the womb to life in the school and provides tips that can help parents and educators recognize the symptoms that flag hidden disabilities.

A relação professor-aluno, em sala de aula, ou mesmo no espaço escolar, fora da sala de aula, é pautada pela conduta, pelo comportamento, os quais refletem princípios, valores, sentimentos, maneiras de ver o mundo. É inegável que há nessa relação não somente o que se costumou chamar de choque de gerações, mas também a bagagem que ambos trazem, de origem social e familiar.

It's easy to think that children are either blessed with a high degree of intelligence or they aren't, and there's nothing we can do as parents to affect how smart they become. Yet studies have shown that when it comes to intelligence, nature vs. nurture is roughly 50/50, which means that parental influence may have a significant impact not just on how clever our children feel they are, but also on how bright they are. The verbal and cognitive skills that a kid acquires in early infancy and childhood equip them with the social and emotional life skills needed to succeed in life.

The experience of riding a yellow school bus has undergone significant changes in the past few decades.

Additionally, the behavior of students on the bus has also evolved, with students often engaging in loud conversations, playing music, or even watching videos without headphones, which can be a significant distraction for the driver.
