  An argument for the constitutional responsibility to participate in jury dutyIt’s easy to forget how important the jury really is to America.  The right to be a juror is one of the fundamental rights guaranteed to  all eligible citizens. The right to trial by jury helped spark the  American Revolution, was quickly adopted at the Constitutional  Convention, and is the only right that appears in both the Constitution  and the Bill of Rights. But for most of us, a jury summons is an  unwelcome inconvenience. Who has time for jury duty? We have things to  do.In Why Jury Duty Matters, Andrew Guthrie  Ferguson reminds us that whether we like it or not, we are all  constitutional actors. Jury duty provides an opportunity to reflect on  that constitutional responsibility. Combining American history,  constitutional law, and personal experience, the book engages citizens  in the deeper meaning of jury service. Interweaving constitutional  principles into the actual jury experience, this book is a handbook for  those Americans who want to enrich the jury experience. It seeks to  reconnect ordinary citizens to the constitutional character of a nation  by focusing on the important, and largely ignored, democratic lessons of  the jury.Jury duty is a shared American  tradition. It connects people across class and race, creates habits of  focus and purpose, and teaches values of participation, equality, and  deliberation. We know that juries are important for courts, but we don’t  know that jury service is important for democracy. This book inspires  us to re-examine the jury experience and act on the constitutional  principles that guide our country before, during, and after jury  service.

  Did you know your view of yourself is ingrained from the time you are a baby and controls everything that you do on a daily basis? Did you know that you develop multiple self-schemas throughout your life? As we grow up, we are taught how to feel about our bodies, our emotions, our gender, and everything that governs our ‘self’. This view becomes who we are, no matter if they are negative or positive views. 
  We do not even realize that these lessons are being taught to us through family, friends, television, movies, and the social culture that we live in. These lessons create rules that our subconscious follows throughout the rest of our lives. Our self-schemas make our decisions on a subconscious level and we never realize it. They govern what we wear, what we eat, who we are friends with, and everything else about our lives. However, understanding self-schemas can help you make a change by turning negative schemas into the positive ones that you want to have. 
  In this book, we will help you determine the negative self-schemas that you have formed by looking at the root of the behavior. Once you understand the negative self-schemas that you have, you can begin to reprogram them into different positive self-views. As you begin to remove the negative and fill it with positive self-views, you will find that your life will change in significant ways. Reprogramming negative self-schemas are keys to having a happy and successful life.

  Independent study programs aren't for the "best" students; they are populated by students at their best.Student disengagement from school is a trending concern, and many schools have turned their attention to independent study programs as a way to nurture student motivation and creativity. But where to begin?Geraldine Woods offers a practical, step-by-step guide based on her experience designing and directing the much-admired independent study program at the Horace Mann School. Under the supervision of teachers, students embark on a remarkable variety of projects and become teachers themselves, conducting seminars with their peers along the way to preparing their final product—which could as easily be an interactive website or musical composition as a research paper. Woods's book details the nuts and bolts of the approach and shows how to customize it for a variety of age groups, budgets, and curricular requirements. It is a gift to all educators—including homeschooling parents—who want to give students the freedom to pursue their interests.
