Lessons Unlearned

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In a time of unprecedented change and uncertainty, Lessons Unlearned revisits the enduring legacy of Horace's Complaint, a groundbreaking book that exposed the deep-seated problems plaguing American high schools. Originally published in 1984, Horace's Complaint remains startlingly relevant today, offering a sobering reminder of the urgent need for educational reform.

Lessons Unlearned delves into the daily struggles of teachers, burdened by excessive paperwork, inadequate resources, and a demoralizing lack of support. It exposes the plight of students, frustrated by a curriculum that fails to ignite their curiosity and stifled by a system that values conformity over creativity. The book also examines the impact of technology, the changing demographics of the student population, and the evolving role of teachers in the modern era.

Lessons Unlearned is a call to action, a plea for us to reimagine education, to create a system that is truly worthy of the name. It challenges us to confront the deep-seated inequalities that continue to plague our schools, to address the mental health crisis among our students, and to embrace the power of technology to transform teaching and learning. The book implores us to rekindle our faith in the transformative power of education, to believe that every child deserves a quality education that prepares them for success in life.

Written in a clear and engaging style, Lessons Unlearned is a must-read for every educator, every parent, and every concerned citizen. It is a book that will challenge our assumptions, provoke our thinking, and inspire us to demand better for our children. It is a book that has the power to change lives and transform our communities.

In this updated and expanded edition, we revisit the themes and insights of Horace's Complaint, bringing them into dialogue with the contemporary challenges facing American education. We explore the challenges of assessment and accountability, the need for curriculum reform, and the importance of parental involvement. We also consider the role of policymakers, educators, and the public in driving change.

Lessons Unlearned is a timely and essential book that offers a roadmap for transforming our schools and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to succeed.

Perilous Question - The Drama of...

Antonia Fraser

Internationally bestselling historian Antonia Fraser's book brilliantly evokes one year of pre-Victorian political and social history - the passing of the Great Reform Bill of 1832, an eventful and violent year that featured riots in Bristol, Manchester and Nottingham. 
 
The time-span of the book is from Wellington's intractable declaration in November 1830 that 'The beginning of reform is beginning of revolution' to 7 June 1832, when William IV reluctantly assented to the Great Reform Bill, under the double threat of the creation of 60 new peers in the House of Lords and the threat of revolution throughout the country. Wider themes of Irish and 'negro emancipation' underscore the narrative. 
 
The book is character driven; we learn of the Whig aristocrats prepared to whittle away their own power to bring liberty to the country, the all-too-conservative opposition who included the intransigent Duchess of Kent and Queen Adelaide and finally the 'revolutionaries' like William Cobbett, author of Rural Rides. These events led to a total change in the way Britain was governed, a two-year revolution that Antonia Fraser brings to vivid dramatic life. 
 
"A writer whose command of sources, eye for detail, perception of character and shrewd judgment enable her to bring the past truthfully to life" ( Sunday Telegraph) 
 
"Drama, betrayal, religion and sex, it's all here, adorned by often fascinating, at times esoteric detail" ( Guardian) 
 
"Fraser brings to life the female stars circling the Sun King in an account that successfully combines erudition with gossipy stories of the kind the Versailles courtiers loved so much." ( Sunday Times)

And even when you try to leave, your mind replays the good times. So you go back. And every time you do, you lose another piece of who you are.  
It doesn't have to end this way.  
That pain can become your turning point — but only if you understand why you ended up here in the first place. What need did this person meet? What insecurity kept you trapped? Until you answer those questions honestly, the cycle repeats.  
This audiobook will show you how to break it.  
Inside, you'll discover:  How to spot psychopaths, sociopaths, and narcissists before they target you The line between "difficult" and truly toxic — and why it matters When a relationship can be saved, and when it can't Powerful self-examination exercises to understand your patterns How to rebuild your confidence and reclaim your life
