  High school can be boring.  High school curriculum can be frustrating and out of touch.  So what is the answer for young people whose creativity, bright ideas, and boundless energy are being stifled in that over-scheduled and grade-driven environment?  What would you do if you could go to college without going to high school?  Would you travel abroad, spend late nights writing a novel, volunteer in an emergency room, or build your own company?  What dreams would you be pursuing right now?College Without High School shows how independent teens can self-design their high school education by becoming unschooled.  Students begin by defining their goals and dreams and then pursue them through a combination of meaningful and engaging adventures.  It is possible to pursue your dreams, and gain admission to any college of your choice.  Boles shows how to fulfill college admission requirements by proving five preparatory results: intellectual passion, leadership, logical reasoning, background knowledge, and the capacity for structured learning. He then offers several suggestions for life-changing, confidence-building adventures that will demonstrate those results. This intriguing approach to following your dreams and doing college prep on your own terms will be welcomed by students (and their parents).

  Blurred Lines - Rethinking Sex...

  Vanessa Grigoriadis

  A new sexual revolution is sweeping the country, and college students are on the front lines. Women use fresh, smart methods to fight entrenched sexism and sexual assault even as they celebrate their own sexuality as never before. Many "woke" male students are more sensitive to women's concerns than previous generations ever were, while other men perpetuate the most cruel misogyny. Amid such apparent contradictions, it's no surprise that intense confusion shrouds the topic of sex on campus. 
  Vanessa Grigoriadis dispels that confusion as no other writer could by traveling to schools large and small, embedding in their social whirl, and talking candidly with dozens of students—among them, both accusers and accused—as well as administrators, parents, and researchers. Her unprecedented investigation presents a host of new truths. She reveals which times and settings are most dangerous for women (for instance, beware the "red zone"); she demystifies the welter of conflicting statistics about the prevalence of campus rape; she makes a strong case that not all "sexual assault" is equivalent; and she offers convincing if controversial advice on how schools, students, and parents can make college a safer, richer experience.

  Cheating Welfare - Public...

  This study of the welfare system is “simultaneously compassionate and scholarly . . . a rare insider perspective on how citizens understand and use welfare” (Corey Shdaimah, author of Negotiating Justice).    Since the 1990s, welfare policies have been informed by popular beliefs that welfare fraud is rampant. As a result, welfare policies have become more punitive and the boundaries between the welfare system and the criminal justice system have blurred—so much so that in some locales prosecution caseloads for welfare fraud exceed welfare caseloads. But while some recipients manipulate the welfare system for their own ends, others are gravely hurt by punitive policies, and still others fall somewhere in between. In Cheating Welfare, Kaaryn S. Gustafson shines a light on these gray areas, providing insights into the history, social construction, and lived experience of welfare. She shows why cheating is all but inevitable—not because poor people are immoral, but because well-meaning individuals can easily become entangled in the complex systems of rules.   Basing her analysis on in-depth interviews with welfare recipients in Northern California, Gustafson examines the construction of the crime we know as welfare fraud. In doing so, she challenges readers to question their assumptions about welfare policies, welfare recipients, and crime control in the United States.
