Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address at the Commencement Dinner, Harvard University, June 26, 1889 The discreditable stories which have been so widely circulated about our College have brought upon us the scrutiny of a wholearmy Of reporters; and, whatever of truth or of falsehood there may have been in the sensational paragraphs they have pub lished, of this I am sure, that few societies of men, however sacred their object, could have borne the scrutiny as well. When I have indignantly repelled the scandals, I have been told that I knew nothing about that phase of college life. Thank God I do know nothing about it; and I am in con stant association with hundreds on hundreds of young men who know as little about it as I do. We do not expect to solve the problem of evil at Harvard in this genera tion; but there is this very marked difference between the evil influences of to-day and those of only a few years back. Then the evil was everywhere pervasive. The classes were so small that all the members were brought into more or less intimate associa tion, and one could not avoid meeting the hateful forms of vice, however greatly he.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inspirational and timely reflection on the way we bring up children that will resonate with parents everywhere. 'Longtime high school English teacher McCullough scores an A+ with this volume for teens and parents. Rich in literary references and poetic in cadence, the author also offers plenty of hilarious and pointed comments on teens and today's society.' - Publishers Weekly So you think you're special? Well, think again: you're not. David McCullough Jr, a US high-school English teacher, found himself suddenly famous in 2012 when his commencement address to graduating high-school seniors went viral on Youtube. the main theme of that speech, 'You're not special', seemed to hit a nerve and validate a sense among people worldwide that something is deeply and fundamentally wrong with the way children are being raised today. From infancy, he observed, children are taught to believe they are unique and special, deserving of every advantage, destined for success. Consequently they learn to work hard and distinguish themselves for the sake of status and material reward rather than for the benefit of others - the larger community; the world. Success is defined as something almost entirely selfish. there is little attention or time given to the pursuit of education for the sake of wisdom, or even real happiness. Drawing from his long career as an educator and experience as a father of teenage boys, McCullough will expand upon the ideas laid out in his radical twelve-minute speech and argue that we can do better - as parents and as teachers - than fostering in our children a sense of privilege and entitlement.
