  American Gulags show us how to overcome the Marxist indoctrination which has swept across the American government education system. America's system of colleges and universities was once the best in the world. It contributed immeasurably to America's status as the most powerful, productive, and prosperous nation on the globe. Unfortunately, those days are long gone. Today from kindergarten through twelfth grade in the government school system, teaching reading, writing, and math have been supplanted by Marxist indoctrination. Our colleges and universities have become the final training grounds and launching pads for the next waves of Marxist activists. This book equips every American to turn this travesty around.

  Buy now to get the main key ideas from Steven Pinker's Rationality 
    
  Rationality is essential. It shapes decisions that affect our lives and the public, and is the greatest leader of moral advancement and social justice. In Rationality (2021), Steven Pinker refutes the cliché that human beings are an irrational species, eternally doomed with biases, errors, and illusions. After all, humans uncovered the unfathomable laws of nature, extended and enhanced their lives, and established the foundations of rationality. Nevertheless, they have failed to use the most important reasoning means they have acquired over centuries, such as causation and correlation, probability, critical thinking, and logic. How can a species praised for being rational believe in endless falsehoods and ridiculous conspiracy theories?

  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.

It is a gift to all educators—including homeschooling parents—who want to give students the freedom to pursue their interests.

  In The Student Mindset: A 30-item toolkit for anyone learning anything, Steve Oakes and Martin Griffin provide clear, effective and engaging tools designed to help students plan, organise and execute successful learning.
  Successful students find a way to succeed. They get the results they want. And they achieve this not by superior ability, but by sticking to habits, routines and strategies that deliver those results.
  By cutting through the noise surrounding academic success and character development, bestselling authors Steve Oakes and Martin Griffin have identified the five key traits and behaviours that all students need in order to achieve their goals: vision, effort, systems, practice and attitude (VESPA).
  These characteristics beat cognition hands down, and in The Student Mindset Steve and Martin provide a ready-made series of study strategies, approaches and tactics designed to nurture these qualities and transform your motivation, commitment and productivity.
  The book's thirty activities, while categorised thematically under the VESPA umbrella, have been organised around six key phases of learning so that you can recognise which phase you're in before choosing from the range of tools and techniques to help you get through it. The six co-existing key phases are: preparation; starting study; collecting and shaping; adapting, testing and performing; flow and feedback; and dealing with the dip. At each phase you'll experience challenges and discover new ways of working, and this book's activities have been designed to help you gain control and become a better learner by sharing workload management tactics and revision strategies associated with calm, purposeful study and ultimately getting good results. These tools include a range of effective prioritisation, stress reduction, procrastination-busting and mindset development approaches all neatly packaged into this outstanding practical guide to becoming a successful and confident student.
  Suitable for all students.
  Shortlisted for the Non Obvious Book Award.
