    Ever wondered why your college roommate wouldn't stop talking about "discursive formations" after one semester of critical theory? Curious how a bald Frenchman in a turtleneck became the patron saint of impenetrable academic writing? Want to understand Foucault without developing a migraine or a sudden urge to wear all black? 
    "Foucault's Power" is the antidote to pretentious philosophical obscurity you've been waiting for. This irreverent guide takes you on a sarcasm-soaked journey through Michel Foucault's most influential ideas—from his analysis of prisons and power to his baffling observations about sexuality and truth—all while mercilessly mocking the cult of incomprehensibility that has grown around him. 
    In these pages, you'll discover: 
    How Foucault transformed "people in power control information" into a revolutionary insight requiring 600 impenetrable pages 
    Why your open-plan office is actually a sophisticated surveillance mechanism (as if you needed another reason to hate it) 
    How Foucault managed to write extensively about sex without including a single useful tip 
    The convenient contradictions of a man who questioned all institutions while becoming the ultimate institutional insider 
    A bonus translation guide from Foucauldian jargon to human English! 
    Whether you're a confused student forced to read "Discipline and Punish," a curious reader wanting to understand what the fuss is about, or someone who enjoys watching intellectual pretension get skewered by razor-sharp wit, this book is your perfect introduction to the man who made simplicity unfashionable and gave academic writing permission to be terrible forever.

    Directly from the headlines: Even before its mandated closer due to the Covid-19 virus epidemic, after spending billions of dollars, the American education system was in crisis. Students were not being prepared for anything except more years without adequate benefit and were turning off. Teachers were quitting in droves, and taxpayers were losing faith in the schools they paid for with their taxes. Resulting in nation-wide teacher shortages, it never needed to happen. This project is as explosive to the field of education as Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring was for agriculture and pesticides, or Ralph Nader’s Unsafe at Any Speed was for auto safety. And like those books, A Teacher’s Quest not only identifies problems but offers solutions.
