Download or read book The School written by Brendan James Murray and published by Picador. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brendan James Murray has been a high school teacher for more than ten years. In that time he has seen hundreds of kids move through the same hallways and classrooms - boisterous, angry, shy, big-hearted, awkward - all of them on the journey to adulthood. In The School, he paints an astonishingly vivid portrait of a single school year, perfectly capturing the highs and lows of being a teenager, as well as the fire, passion and occasional heartbreak of being their teacher. Hilarious, heartfelt and true, it is a timeless story of a teacher and his classes, a must-read for any parent, and a tribute to the art of teaching.
Download or read book The Ups and Downs of Affirmative Action Preferences written by M. Ali Raza and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1999-11-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of the evolution of affirmative action at the national and state levels, this study offers an empirical account of the citizens' movement in California that successfully resulted in the passage of a constitutional amendment to abolish such preferences in public education, public employment, and public contracting. It describes how the concept of affirmative action was transmuted into quotas and set-asides even in those situations where there was no credible evidence of past discrimination. This process was aided by Presidential Executive Orders as well as by some Supreme Court decisions which, until the late 1980s, failed to provide clear parameters of compensatory versus preferential actions. The California movement arose to reassert the original vision of equality as contained in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Raza, Anderson, and Custred, who have studied the historical development of the phenomenon and have witnessed its actual operation, lift the curtain of secrecy that surrounds such preferences. This book challenges the notion that affirmative action is a benign and temporary measure that simply provides a helping hand to those who are disadvantaged. There is ample evidence of the institutionalization of preferences that generally provide advantages to those who could otherwise compete on their own merits. Such unfair competitive advantages, provided by government agencies and public educational institutions have neither moral nor political majority support; however, they continue to exist through pressure of political interest groups, liberal political ideology, and entrenched bureaucrats who administer the system. Quite contrary to some people's thinking, the system of preferences may no longer be considered either permanent or necessary.
Download or read book A Life of Ups and Downs and Twist and Turns of a Hispanic Family written by Ruben Garcia and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-11-20 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The family unit as we know it, is disintegrating before our eyes. Why is this an alarming problem? Because it is the family unit that shapes and molds us into the individuals that we are today. In this book I try to share with you not only my triumphs and successes but, my hardships and failures as well. Born into an Hispanic family, life has given me a unique perspective of the world around us. It has engulfed me with the good and bad of what our society has to offer. On the negative side, I have tried to dismiss the stereotyping that unavoidably is attached to my race. I have tried to overcome the prejudices that still linger today. On the positive side, I have learned to appreciate and respect the wonderful customs and traditions that my culture permeates. As an adolescent, my parents instilled in me the value of growing up in the Catholic faith. As an athlete, my father taught me the value of hard work, grit, and determination. As a teacher, my brother Doug, taught me the value of shaping and molding the minds of our youth. As a coach, I learned the values of being a man of integrity-adhering always to a code of moral conduct. "Be a man of your word," my father would always tell me. "Be a role model and be willing to lead by example." As a senior citizen, I have learned to appreciate the life that God has blessed me with. I ask you now, what defines you as an individual? How do you react to the ups and downs in your life? How will you navigate the twists and turns that life drops at your doorstep? Go forth and make a difference in the world!!!

Download or read book A Pilot s Ups and Downs written by Alasdair Sutherland and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-24 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For every 1,000 people who applied to be airline pilots in BEA/BOAC back in the day, about four made it. The other 996, plus their wives, parents, and children, might wonder how their lives could have turned out, so here is the story of one of the four. Besides, the passengers who sit behind that locked door and trust us with their lives must wonder, “What goes on up there, and how does it affect their lives and families?” My education included the University Air Squadron, then learning to fly at the College sponsored by British Airways. There is a chapter of general information on aviation, then most of the book is an account of my experiences, whether dramatic, disappointing, exciting, or amusing, during my varied career in British Airways. Some incidents occur within the cockpit, others in social interaction outside, and a few come from pilot folklore. I also describe visits to sights around the world, an aspect that draws people to aviation as a career, and interests everyone. I have added one professional pilot’s opinion on aviation topics in the news, the mysterious Malaysian disappearance, and the Alpine tragedy, and finish with my lifelong interest in designing model aircraft.

Book excerpt: At 17, Ruby Cassidy is 5 foot 11 and 250 pounds. High school, it goes without saying, is hell – especially because she hasn’t talked to her crush, the attractive, tattooed quarterback Nick Guard, since the seventh grade. Although they used to be best friends when they were little kids, now he only pays attention to pretty, popular girls like the mean cheerleader Gabby. So Ruby keeps herself busy by hanging out with her best girlfriend KK and her pal Jessie, a like-minded metal head whom she loves like a brother but who, lately, has been acting a little weird around her. She also focuses on her dream of spending a year abroad in Ireland after graduation and finally getting out of small town Georgia, where she just doesn’t fit in. That is, until a chance meeting with Nick leads to a whirlwind weekend that changes everything Ruby thought she knew about herself – and about him. But what will happen in school on Monday? Is it all just a joke for the popular crowd?

Download or read book My Life and Its Ups and Downs written by Anna Goddard and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2024-03-28 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who would have thought that growing up could be such fun? Especially in a village where you knew everyone, and we all looked out for each other. It appears with today’s hardships and crime that the fifties were the best years to be alive. It was safe to walk about the streets, even as a five-year-old at school. The pace of life was a lot slower and more genteel. Not so many cars were on the roads, and jobs were easy to change if you didn’t like the one you were in. In this heartwarming memoir, Anna Goddard takes us through the ups and downs of her life journey, from her humble beginnings in a Kentish village to her varied career pursuits, whirlwind romances, and the joys and challenges of raising a young family. With refreshing candour and humour, Anna reflects on coming of age in post-war Britain, training as a nurse, her unplanned twin pregnancy, and navigating young motherhood. As times change, so do attitudes, fashions, and relationships. Through it all, Anna retains her wit, warmth, and lust for life. Brimming with nostalgia and hard-won wisdom, this is the story of an ordinary yet extraordinary woman making her way through extraordinary times. Her account offers a window into a bygone era and reminds us of the resilience of the human spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a sunny morning in 1927, George Lichter, barely six years old, donned his new skates and rolled to the beach at Gravesend Bay where he witnessed a spectacle that would determine the course of his life. As he watched an airplane take off from the water and fly over the city, he decided he would one day become a pilot. George held onto this dream throughout his childhood in Brooklyn, wild adventures as a trumpet player in the Borscht belt and during his escapades at college in, of all places, the Deep South. A week before his twentieth birthday in 1941, immediately following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, George rode the subway to the nearest recruiting center and joined the United States Air Force. By the end of WWII, having flown eighty-eight combat missions over Nazi-occupied Europe, he had become a decorated fighter pilot. Two years later, in 1947, retired from the Air Force, he learned that the new nation of Israel was about to be attacked by its Arab neighbors. Though George felt the Jewish State had no chance of survival against such insurmountable odds, he knew he had to help. He signed up as a Machalnik (volunteer) and was assigned to an air base in Czechoslovakia where he helped train Israel’s first fighter pilots. Within a year they owned the skies over their new nation.
