Download or read book Why Boys Fail written by Richard Whitmire and published by AMACOM Div American Mgmt Assn. This book was released on 2011-09-30 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected as one of the Top 5 Educational Books by Literacy News The signs and statistics are undeniable: boys are falling behind in school. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the biggest culprits are not video games, pop culture, or female-dominated schools biased toward girls. The real problem is that boys have been thrust into a bewildering new school environment that demands high-level reading and writing skills long before they are capable of handling them. Lacking the ability to compete, boys fall farther and farther behind. Eventually, the problem gets pushed into college, where close to 60% of the graduates are women. In a time when even cops, construction foremen, and machine operators need post-high school degrees, that's a problem. Why Boys Fail takes a hard look at how this ominous reality came to be, how it has worsened in recent years, and why attempts to resolve it often devolve into finger-pointing and polarizing politics. But the book also shares some good news. Amidst the alarming proof of failure among boys-around the world-there are also inspiring case studies of schools where something is going right. Each has come up with realistic ways to make sure that every student-male and female-has the tools to succeed in school and later in life. Educators and parents alike will take heart in these promising developments, and heed the book's call to action-not only to demand solutions but also to help create them for their own students and children.

Download or read book Star Trails written by Vaibhav Varun and published by White Falcon Publishing. This book was released on 2018-08-24 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Star trails, is a collection of about 40 poems (rounded off to nearest 10)- most of them abstract in nature. From war, ageing, superpowers to maths, dancing, lights or just about death- the list is completely entropic. They have all been written over a long range of time- some around 7 years ago and some just a few days before publishing them. The poet has spent most of his life in science and in pursuit of reason and truth; and so nothing defines this book better than Samuel Johnson's quote- 'Poetry is the art of uniting pleasure with truth'. Hoping that you discover the same unity in the text and in the world around you.
