Sinopse

Education Funding explores the complex systems that govern how schools are funded in the United States, emphasizing the critical role these systems play in shaping educational opportunities. The book argues that current funding models often fail to adequately support all students, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds. It examines the historical evolution of school finance, from local property taxes to federal contributions, highlighting landmark court cases and legislative acts that have shaped current practices. Understanding these funding mechanisms and their impact is essential for anyone concerned about educational equity and outcomes.

The book progresses by first introducing core concepts like funding sources (local, state, federal) and various funding formulas. It then analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of different models, explores the role of federal programs like Title I and IDEA, and investigates the influence of state policies on resource allocation. For instance, the book considers how debates around school choice and teacher compensation impact funding equity.

Ultimately, the book offers recommendations for improving funding equity and efficiency, drawing on evidence-based research and data from various educational agencies. By integrating policy analysis with practical implications, Education Funding provides a comprehensive overview suitable for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the intricacies of school finance. It equips readers with the knowledge needed to advocate for a more equitable and effective education system. The book's accessible approach and focus on practical application make it a valuable resource for understanding how funding decisions impact students and schools.

Walk Away How to Recognize...

Yolanda Dian

A Survivors Testimony after the gaslighting and emotional abuse! Learning to recognize narcissists and toxic people early is a game changer! 
I am happy to say that I am no longer a victim, but a true survivor of narcissistic, and emotional abuse. Let me start by saying that walking away from my toxic 30-year relationship with my now ex-husband was one of the hardest things I had to do. The result of walking away turned out to be the best thing I've ever done. I wish there had been a book like this that told me "How to recognize narcissists and emotional abusers" back when I met my ex-husband thirty years ago. What I know now about toxic people and emotional abuse may have saved my life. I hope to help as many people as I possibly can with ways to recognize toxic people before it is too late. In my experience learning to take notes and journal was truly helpful in my recovery process.

The Mattering Instinct - How Our...

Rebecca Newberger Goldstein

MacArthur Fellow and National Humanities Medalist Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, author of Plato at the Googleplex and The Mind-Body Problem, returns with a revelatory book about the primal drive that in our species alone has been transformed into one of our most persistent and universal motivations: the longing to matter.Drawing on biology, psychology, and philosophy, Goldstein argues that this need to matter—and the various "mattering projects" it inspires—is the source of our greatest progress and our deepest conflicts: the very crux of the human experience.Goldstein brings this profound idea to life through unforgettable stories of famous and not-so-famous people pursuing their unique mattering projects. These portraits illuminate how our instinct for significance shapes identity, relationships, culture, and conflict—and they point the way to a future where we all might see that there is, fundamentally, enough mattering to go around.Deeply revealing and insightful, The Mattering Instinct is a must-listen for those curious about why we seek to matter to ourselves and others—and how this insatiable longing that drives us apart may be the key to finally understanding each other.

Beyond Measure - The Hidden...

James Vincent

A vibrant account of how measurement has invisibly shaped our world, from ancient civilizations to the modern day. 
 
 
 
From the cubit to the kilogram, the humble inch to the speed of light, measurement is a powerful tool that humans invented to make sense of the world. In this revelatory work of science and social history, James Vincent dives into its hidden world, taking listeners from ancient Egypt, where measuring the annual depth of the Nile was an essential task, to the intellectual origins of the metric system in the French Revolution, and from the surprisingly animated rivalry between metric and imperial, to our current age of the "quantified self." At every turn, Vincent is keenly attuned to the political consequences of measurement, exploring how it has also been used as a tool for oppression and control. 
 
 
 
Beyond Measure reveals how measurement is not only deeply entwined with our experience of the world, but also how its history encompasses and shapes the human quest for knowledge.
