Download or read book Class Mom written by Laurie Gelman and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laurie Gelman’s clever debut novel about a year in the life of a kindergarten class mom—a brilliant send-up of the petty and surprisingly cutthroat terrain of parent politics. Jen Dixon is not your typical Kansas City kindergarten class mom—or mom in general. Jen already has two college-age daughters by two different (probably) musicians, and it’s her second time around the class mom block with five-year-old Max—this time with a husband and father by her side. Though her best friend and PTA President sees her as the “wisest” candidate for the job (or oldest), not all of the other parents agree. From recording parents’ response times to her emails about helping in the classroom, to requesting contributions of “special” brownies for curriculum night, not all of Jen’s methods win approval from the other moms. Throw in an old flame from Jen’s past, a hyper-sensitive “allergy mom,” a surprisingly sexy kindergarten teacher, and an impossible-to-please Real Housewife-wannabe, causing problems at every turn, and the job really becomes much more than she signed up for. Relatable, irreverent, and hilarious in the spirit of Maria Semple, Class Mom is a fresh, welcome voice in fiction—the kind of novel that real moms clamor for, and a vicarious thrill-read for all mothers, who will be laughing as they are liberated by Gelman’s acerbic truths.

Download or read book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother written by Amy Chua and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-12-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lot of people wonder how Chinese parents raise such stereotypically successful kids. They wonder what Chinese parents do to produce so many math whizzes and music prodigies, what it's like inside the family, and whether they could do it too. Well, I can tell them, because I've done it... Amy Chua's daughters, Sophia and Louisa (Lulu) were polite, interesting and helpful, they had perfect school marks and exceptional musical abilities. The Chinese-parenting model certainly seemed to produce results. But what happens when you do not tolerate disobedience and are confronted by a screaming child who would sooner freeze outside in the cold than be forced to play the piano? Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is a story about a mother, two daughters, and two dogs. It was supposed to be a story of how Chinese parents are better at raising kids than Western ones. But instead, it's about a bitter clash of cultures, a fleeting taste of glory, and how you can be humbled by a thirteen-year-old. Witty, entertaining and provocative, this is a unique and important book that will transform your perspective of parenting forever.
Download or read book Troublemakers written by Carla Shalaby and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A radical educator's paradigm-shifting inquiry into the accepted, normal demands of school, as illuminated by moving portraits of four young "problem children" In this dazzling debut, Carla Shalaby, a former elementary school teacher, explores the everyday lives of four young "troublemakers," challenging the ways we identify and understand so-called problem children. Time and again, we make seemingly endless efforts to moderate, punish, and even medicate our children, when we should instead be concerned with transforming the very nature of our institutions, systems, and structures, large and small. Through delicately crafted portraits of these memorable children—Zora, Lucas, Sean, and Marcus—Troublemakers allows us to see school through the eyes of those who know firsthand what it means to be labeled a problem. From Zora's proud individuality to Marcus's open willfulness, from Sean's struggle with authority to Lucas's tenacious imagination, comes profound insight—for educators and parents alike—into how schools engender, exclude, and then try to erase trouble, right along with the young people accused of making it. And although the harsh disciplining of adolescent behavior has been called out as part of a school-to-prison pipeline, the children we meet in these pages demonstrate how a child's path to excessive punishment and exclusion in fact begins at a much younger age. Shalaby's empathetic, discerning, and elegant prose gives us a deeply textured look at what noncompliance signals about the environments we require students to adapt to in our schools. Both urgent and timely, this paradigm-shifting book challenges our typical expectations for young children and with principled affection reveals how these demands—despite good intentions—work to undermine the pursuit of a free and just society.

This book was released on 2020-05-27 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Become an educated consumer with the red book edition. I Want My Mommy A Parent's Guide to Child Care and Education Red Book, is a factual guide updated for parents, teachers, and educational administrators. Written by an insider who understands the system inside and out. Provided are the tools to assist in making the best choices for childcare and education. The red book offers current international data that supports health & wellness, education, and women & children issues. Early adult and infant interactions do not just create a context, they directly affect the way the brain is wired. It is not only about what or how children are taught, but also how children are treated that determines their emotional development needs being met and their outcome in life as they mature into adults. Readers are given information on the great diversity of child day care and higher education in the U.S., and how demographics play a significant role. Reviewed are the two drivers of behavior known as 'intrinsic motivation- natural curiosity' and 'extrinsic motivation- linked to reward'. The evidence on the importance of nurturing intrinsic motivation is solid but negated, in a reward culture that is introduced into the classroom or by the parent(s) at a very early age. Homeschooling allows for customizing the curriculum to the individual child's character. Education styles for home schooling differ greatly from one another and are infinite in possibilities when applied on an individual basis. The chapter titled "Food" explains menus are influenced by the proprietor or director's personal signature, yet all these centers follow the mandatory guidelines listed under the CACFP-USDA federal program. Food represents who we are and who we will become over the course of our lifetime. Chemical and emotional food addictions are multi-generational and endemic in the U.S. Mammals have a natural born ability to parent from the time of birth. Touch is our first sense to develop in the womb, and research has shown the reason humans need physical contact is because of our evolutionary background as primates. I Want My Mommy A Parent's Guide to Child Care and Education Red Book, decodes and deconstructs education for the reader. Explained are the diverse methods, contents, and behaviors in educational formats. The book becomes a guide for parents, educators, and administrators. Whistle blowers, human right advocates, investigative journalists, and documentarians are considered as educators in the red book. Listed in the bibliography are current archives that support the quest that begins and continues throughout the book to find the answer as to 'why'? This leads into the education and behavior of adults whose professional roles are to teach, uphold laws and serve the community. We as a society and globally come together collectively to participate in a learning experience and to co-create an inherent need to consciously be aware. In the U. S. and other global cultures is a definition that requires women to suppress or devalue their own female nature. To recognize her full self in relation to the archetypal feminine is a transition of enormous proportions. The woman is returning to an affirmation of the primordial feminine. She is the banished and the one expelled from a culture that she was born and raised into. Unless that link is consciously retrieved women wander half alive. All feminine elements are innately supported by nature and earthly instincts. This represents an extreme opposite to a polarized masculine consciousness ideology and cultural environment. The book received favorable reviews from two American investigative journalists who support women's health issues and covered national politics.
Download or read book World Class written by Teru Clavel and published by Atria Books. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An upbeat chronicle of [Clavel’s] children’s school experiences in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Tokyo…[offering] advice about vetting schools and enriching children’s education.” —Kirkus Reviews “An intriguing volume on the differences in global education.” —Library Journal A must-read firsthand exploration of why Asian students are outpacing their American counterparts and how to help our children excel in today’s competitive world. When Teru Clavel had young children, she watched her friends and fellow parents vie for spots in elite New York City schools. Instead of losing herself in the intensive applications and interview process, Teru and her family moved to Asia, embarking on a decade-long journey through the public schools of Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Tokyo. These schools were low-tech and bare-bones, with teachers who demanded obedience and order. In Hong Kong, her children’s school was nicknamed The Prison for its foreboding facilities, yet her three-year-old loved his teachers and his nightly homework. In Tokyo, the students were responsible for school chores, like preparing and serving school lunches. Yet Teru was amazed to discover that her children thrived in these academically competitive cultures; they learned to be independent, self-confident, resilient, and, above all, they developed a deep love of learning. When the family returned to the States, the true culture shock came when the top schools could no longer keep up with her children. Written with warmth and humor, World Class is a compelling story about how to inspire children to thrive academically. “Studded with lists of useful tips about choosing schools and hiring tutors, for parents who must advocate for their children and supplement gaps in their educations” (Publishers Weekly) and an insightful guide to set your children on a path towards lifelong success.
