Paperback. Condizione: New. What we want for schools reveals what we value as a society."What's the point of school?" Parents have a stock set of responses, but the question remains unsettled, even two centuries after the Prussians invented compulsory education. The Prussian idea of what a school is for - to mold the populace to serve the state - seems unacceptable today. In vogue, instead, are slogans like "acquiring marketable skills" and "realizing your full potential." These ideas powerfully shape our culture. Ultimately, they boil down to pursuing one supreme value: individual success in a competitive world.Schools are a mirror of our society as a whole; what we want for schools makes plain what and whom we value in our common life. In the Christian tradition, the life of discipleship is also a school. In this educational community, under the instruction of our one Teacher, we learn not to seek empowerment, but to find strength in weakness; not to out-achieve others, but to serve them; not to pursue our passion, but to obey a call.Also in this issue: poetry by Christian Wiman; reviews of new books by Robert Macfarlane, Jackie Morris, Francisco Cantú, Leif Enger, Carol Anderson, Stephanie Land, and Susan Wise Bauer; and art by Margaret McWethy, Albrecht Dürer, Raphael, Gérard David, Jackie Morris, Gustaf Tenggren, Sergey Dushkin, Anja Percival, Dmitry Samofalov, Christoph Wetzel, Sherrie York, Cathleen Rehfield, Pawel Kuczynski, and Jason Landsel.Plough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to put their faith into action. Each issue brings you in-depth articles, interviews, poetry, book reviews, and art to help you put Jesus' message into practice and find common cause with others.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The future of the national school bus transportation system is shifting towards electrification and smart technologies driven by regional goals for sustainability, safety and efficiency. Incorporating these new technologies will take years to fully realize and achieving this goal will be a worthwhile yet formidable challenge. But is there something that can be done in the meantime? Today's ongoing issues of driver shortages and budget constraints remain and providing effective management of student behavior while in transit requires proactive strategies that must provide the much needed, ongoing support for drivers. What can we do now for the communities and infrastructure around the country that face the significant challenges that we face today?When I initially decided to write this book, it was going to be entitled My Kids - A School Bus Driver's Perspective. The topic was one of the three reasons why I decided to write the book in the first place - the kids. It quickly became apparent that the book was going to be more than that. It ultimately became a mixture of historical backgrounds, a practical application of experience from a former business executive and the realization that there are significant needs and issues that the school transportation system faces today. It is my hope that this book can stimulate more of this discussion for the benefit of today's school aged generation as well as the people who support it. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
