  Ableism in Education -...

  How we organize children by ability in schools is often rooted in ableism. 
   
   
   
  Ability is so central to schooling—where we explicitly and continuously shape, assess, measure, and report on students' abilities—that ability-based decisions often appear logical and natural. However, how schools respond to ability results in very real, lifelong social and economic consequences. Special education and academic streaming (or tracking) are two of the most prominent ability-based strategies public schools use to organize student learning. Both have had a long and complicated relationship with gender, race, and class. 
   
   
   
  In this down-to-earth guide, Dr. Gillian Parekh unpacks the realities of how ability and disability play out within schooling, including insights from students, teachers, and administrators about the barriers faced by students on the basis of ability. From the challenges with ability testing to gifted programs to the disability rights movement, Parekh shows how ableism is inextricably linked to other forms of bias. Her book is a powerful tool for educators committed to justice-seeking practices in schools.

  Ryan and Phil had always been inseparable. Twins born thirty-five minutes apart, Ryan was the protective one, constantly looking out for his younger brother. They can't remember how old they were when the abuse started, but they can remember their uncle very clearly. 
   
   
   
  A frequent visitor to their home in Lincoln, he lavished their family with expensive treats. School holidays and weekends were spent visiting him, when he would often take the two little boys aside to play the games he liked.

  THE FINAL VOLUME OF KAT WARD'S SENSATIONAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY! 
  When Kat Ward put down her pen after finishing the seventh book in her “KERI” series, she considered her mission complete. 
  Nearly twenty years had passed since her therapist originally recommend writing as a means of healing her childhood wounds. And after taking readers on a stomach-twisting journey through her hellish formative years, she was ready to look in the mirror again. 
  However, despite the fact that the series had reached a natural conclusion, reader demand remained insatiable. The epic autobiography that she had never intended to write had reached a worldwide audience, who now wanted to follow Kat’s journey on through adulthood. 
  Humbled by the interest, Kat duly obliged. At this point, she may no longer be the abused child herself, but her journey through hell was still a long way from over… 
  DISCLAIMER: This is a true story of child abuse. Reader discretion is advised.
