Download or read book Vouchers within Reason written by James G. Dwyer and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Observing the storm of recent debates around school vouchers, James G. Dwyer concludes that the welfare of children has been routinely subordinated to the interests and supposed rights of various groups of adults—parents, teachers, taxpayers, and advocates for ideological causes. Dwyer argues that a truly child-centered approach to education reform would yield dramatically different conclusions regarding the morality and constitutionality of government initiatives to improve public and private schooling in America.Dwyer makes the case that state funding of religious and other private schools is not only permissible, but mandatory, as a moral and constitutional right of the children already in private schools. In Vouchers within Reason, he also demonstrates the necessity of attaching to that funding robust standards for the content and nature of instruction and for treatment of students. These are just the sort of regulatory strings that most current supporters of vouchers fear.In the author's view, vouchers represent an opportunity for states to accomplish what they have been unable to do in the past—namely, to bring academic accountability to religious schools, many of which fail to provide a good secular education. He sees voucher programs that are now in place as morally irresponsible and clearly unconstitutional, however, because they require almost nothing of recipient schools in return for the funding. This book reorients the hot topic of universal school vouchers in a new and vital direction that may change the minds of scholars, educators, and policymakers alike.
Download or read book Liberty Learning written by Robert C. Enlow and published by Cato Institute. This book was released on 2009-09-25 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years ago, Milton Friedman had the ground-breaking idea to improve public education with school vouchers. By separating government financing of education from government administration of schools, Friedman argued, “parents at all income levels would have the freedom to choose the schools their children attend.” Liberty & Learning is a collection of essays from the nation’s top education experts evaluating the progress of Friedman’s innovative idea and reflecting on its merits in the 21st century. The book also contains a special prologue and epilogue by Milton Friedman himself. The contributors to this volume take a variety of approaches to Friedman’s voucher idea. All of them assess the merit of Friedman’s plan through an energetic, contemporary perspective, though some authors take a theoretical position, while others employ a very pragmatic approach.

Download or read book Personal Gift Voucher Booklet for My Favourite Person written by Leo Vollgeherzt and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The innovative gift voucher booklet is stylish, of high quality and creatively designed. How does it work? A short and easy description: You buy it, fill in 25 gift vouchers individually and 25 gift vouchers are already pre-printed with common events or support ideas. Within 15-20 minutes you can also complete the 25 individual vouchers with the free text boxes. By this you develop a complete booklet which is individually created for your favourite person and can then be given as a present to him/her. The person who receives the present can redeem the event voucher with you within a given time period, for example "go for a coffee" etc. A more complex and detailed description: The booklet consists of many pre-printed gift vouchers with little events or support ideas (e.g. lawn mowing, invitation to cook at my house, ... etc.). In the rear part of the book you can find additional pre-printed gift vouchers which can be filled in individually by you. An example would be "Voucher for going out for dinner to our favourite restaurant La Piazza at my expense", "Voucher for walking your dog Maxi in winter", ... or something similar. By this, a very personal and precious voucher booklet is created which can be given away for birthdays, weddings, Christmas, Easter or for no special reason to good friends and your loved ones. It is a gift with your own personal touch because time spent together and support or help are often simply priceless. If you want to create such a present you don't need a lot of money, a large fortune or a high budget for gifts. In this case, the personal and immaterial touch lie at the heart of giving away presents. After giving away the booklet, the person who receives it can every now and then redeem one of the 50 vouchers with you. Each voucher has pre-printed cutting edges and can therefore be removed separately from the booklet. This gift will for certain be well received and its personal touch will last for many weeks and months. Do you have any questions concerning our "vollgeherzt"-product range?

Download or read book How Americans Make Race written by Clarissa Rile Hayward and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do people produce and reproduce identities? In How Americans Make Race, Clarissa Rile Hayward challenges what is sometimes called the 'narrative identity thesis': the idea that people produce and reproduce identities as stories. Identities have greater staying power than one would expect them to have if they were purely and simply narrative constructions, she argues, because people institutionalize identity-stories, building them into laws, rules, and other institutions that give social actors incentives to perform their identities well, and because they objectify identity-stories, building them into material forms that actors experience with their bodies. Drawing on in-depth historical analyses of the development of racialized identities and spaces in the twentieth-century United States, and also on life-narratives collected from people who live in racialized urban and suburban spaces, Hayward shows how the institutionalization and objectification of racial identity-stories enables their practical reproduction, lending them resilience in the face of challenge and critique.

Download or read book Homeschooling written by James G. Dwyer and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Homeschooling: The History and Philosophy of a Controversial Practice, James G. Dwyer and Shawn F. Peters examine homeschooling’s history, its methods, and the fundamental questions at the root of the heated debate over whether and how the state should oversee and regulate it. The authors trace the evolution of homeschooling and the law relating to it from before America’s founding to the present day. In the process they analyze the many arguments made for and against it, and set them in the context of larger questions about school and education. They then tackle the question of regulation, and they do so within a rigorous moral framework, one that is constructed from a clear-eyed assessment of what rights and duties children, parents, and the state each possess. Viewing the question through that lens allows Dwyer and Peters to even-handedly evaluate the competing arguments and ultimately generate policy prescriptions. Homeschooling is the definitive study of a vexed question, one that ultimately affects all citizens, regardless of their educational background.
