Hardback. Condizione: Good. After the Civil War, the South went through a period of rebuilding, termed Recon-struction, but because many white people in the South were not ready to accept African Americans as equals, unfair laws were passed which restricted the rights of blacks. These Black Codes and Jim Crow laws left African Americans adrift in a segregated world. Life was better in the North in many ways for African Americans. The 1920s brought jobs and money-until The Great Depression hit. The Depression left many homeless and jobless. Many blacks left the cities seeking jobs wherever they could find them. Despite the hard times that followed, living in the North continued to bring a renewed sense of freedom to many African Americans.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Pete Seeger once said: The key to the future of the world is finding the optimistic stories and letting them be known. In many ways, writing a book about my family's experiences at Playhouse, a cooperative pre-school founded in 1951, is in fact telling an optimistic story that has the potential to inspire others, early childhood teachers and parents alike, to search for, create, or contribute to progressive learning environments for their own children and students.Playhouse serves as more than just a school for children. It is a learning community for parents, where they can learn and embrace progressive models of education. This type of parental education is more important now than ever before, especially in the face of parental opt out movements and objections to standardized testing and curriculum like the common core standards.Parents and early childhood teachers need to educate themselves about the tenets of democratic and progressive schooling, and there is very little written for them. Early childhood teachers often graduate with certification but are unsure of how to implement this progressive pedagogy in their classrooms or how even to find schools where these types of practices are encouraged. They may have been prepared to teach in a progressive way but are unsure of how to apply these ideas in the classroom with 15 or more little ones in front of them.Finally, with the Core Curriculum Standards and their aligned standardized tests dictating the curriculum and teaching in public schools, parents and early childhood educators need a platform to innovate schools for their children/students. This optimistic telling serves as a reminder for us all that even in this tumultuous storm of standards and testing, progressive preschools with deep commitments to social justice exist, are thriving, and are available.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. You don't believe everything you read or hear. Why? The modern world is full of politicians, advertisers, spouses, roommates, and co-workers trying to convince you that they are right. Advertisers try to convince you their product is right for you. Politicians try to make you think they have the solutions. Pundits sound like they have all the answers. Too often, these messages seems convincing, even when you know what they are saying is not true. We often feel that something is amiss in the message, but it can be hard to say exactly what is wrong. In this book on Critical Thinking, I present techniques for understanding the logic behind these statements and conversations. I offer you the bare bones to get you started decoding these messages. With these techniques, you will have a language to turn that funny feeling into an explanation. You will be able to explain to yourself and to others what is wrong with these messages (or what is right). Using this language, specifically: you will be able to identify and explain if the arguments being presented to you are valid or sound, and why.…
