Book excerpt: Kidnapped at age two and a half, I didn't know who I was or where I came from, but I soon learned, life's a never-ending gift you can't take back! All along this fantastic journey, I've lived through thousands of situations, not only flat out laughable, but often introspective and revealing of those on both sides of the experience. It angers me how in recent years, much of what the public hears about the disabled is from the adversarial viewpoint. Of course, many old stereotypes need to change, but there's another less obvious side of life with physical challenges that shouts to be told. "LAUGH AT IT, YOU'RE STILL A WINNER!" Look at your own life, even for the able-bodied guy who might be seven-foot-tall and bullet proof, everyday living is often a major challenge, and it's not always easy to take the time to look at the other guy's struggles. But it sure gets easier if we just pick up the pieces, grit our teeth, and flat out grin! This book reveals the entertaining and humorous side of living with a disability, and gives you, the sighted reader, some understanding of the awkward situations encountered by the blind. The following narratives are informative, and many are filled with useful information. However, they are also intended to connect with you and make you smile.
Download or read book Davonte s Inferno written by Laurel M. Sturt and published by . This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A TEACHER'S STORY OF FEAR AND LOATHING IN AMERICAN EDUCATION TODAY. Calling on policy, research, humor and a generous serving of snark, in this cutting edge story irreverent Laurel M. Sturt pulls no punches detailing her bizarre life in the trenches teaching in a high-needs elementary school in the Bronx. With the Alice in Wonderland backdrop of teaching in a school strangled by poverty, No Child Left Behind's "accountability," and Michael Bloomberg's micromanagement, Sturt trains an unflinching eye on the crisis confronting today's educators, delivering a scathing indictment of pretentious education reform driven by a mercenary agenda to privatize a system worth billions. The author charges educators and parents to unite and organize at the grassroots level to fight for this civil rights issue of our time--the right to a decent education--coalescing around proven non-negotiables such as sufficient funding, universal pre-kindergarten, a rich curriculum free from high stakes testing, and the socioeconomic integration of schools. By refusing an apartheid in which the one percent and the ninety-nine percent receive vastly different educations, community by community we can drive back the privatizers, restoring the "public" to a system committed to all.

Book excerpt: The twentieth-anniversary edition of Marion Blumenthal Lazan’s acclaimed Holocaust memoir features new material by the author, a reading group guide, a map, and additional photographs. “The writing is direct, devastating, with no rhetoric or exploitation. The truth is in what’s said and in what is left out.”—ALA Booklist (starred review) Marion Blumenthal Lazan’s unforgettable and acclaimed memoir recalls the devastating years that shaped her childhood. Following Hitler’s rise to power, the Blumenthal family—father, mother, Marion, and her brother, Albert—were trapped in Nazi Germany. They managed eventually to get to Holland, but soon thereafter it was occupied by the Nazis. For the next six and a half years the Blumenthals were forced to live in refugee, transit, and prison camps, including Westerbork in Holland and Bergen-Belsen in Germany, before finally making it to the United States. Their story is one of horror and hardship, but it is also a story of courage, hope, and the will to survive. Four Perfect Pebbles features forty archival photographs, including several new to this edition, an epilogue, a bibliography, a map, a reading group guide, an index, and a new afterword by the author. First published in 1996, the book was an ALA Notable Book, an ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers, and IRA Young Adults’ Choice, and a Notable Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies, and the recipient of many other honors. “A harrowing and often moving account.”—School Library Journal
