Anything School Can Do You Can Do Better: The Story of a Family Who Learned at Home, Revised Edition - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In the late 1940s, when our family began, ‘early cognitive learning’ was not supposed tobe possible. It was taken for granted that real learning happened-in school, and thatschool was a good thing; the more of it everyone could get, the better.Now, in the early 1980s, many people, though not all, have come to change their mindsradically on both questions. It happens that our experience cuts across both trends. Ourchildren began to learn early, and they learnt at home, not at school, until the age of eightor nine. Now that the youngest of our eleven children has just finished school, it seemsthat the learning they did in those few years at home has been much more relevant totheir later careers than anything they did in primary school. As for post- primary school,some gained some benefit, when they were lucky enough to meet a good teacher with asmall class; two at least were harmed; on the whole, the experience was irrelevant.The first part of this book tells about the early learning; how it was prompted, and ageneral survey of how we all went about it. Anyone who wants to make use of ourexperience will find more detail in the chapter called Resources, towards the end.The next section gives a short account of each of the children, just to tie up thebeginnings with their life after school. It might be easier to keep track of the peoplemoving through the first story if you turn to these chapters if confused.Then comes ‘The Debate about Reading’ with a chapter to itself. This is a subject,which, in the English-speaking world, generates vast amounts of argument. There arethose who think reading is too delicate a matter for parents to meddle in and there areothers who think that parents should be enlisted to help the school. There are those whothink it should be taught in kindergarten, and others who vehemently disagree. I have justcome across this judgment, made in 1970 by Dr Hans Furth, a psychologist at theCatholic University of America, Washington, DC.Mark well these twin conditions: learn reading and forget your intellect. The average fiveto nine year old, from any environment, is unlikely, when busy with reading and writing,to engage his intellectual powers to any degree.Even to copy that sentence makes my blood pressure rise. And on top of the disagreementabout when reading should be taught, and by whom, there are entrenched views about thebest methods. We used four different methods; though each did well enough one of themseemed decidedly more satisfactory than the others; it is appropriate only to the home. Inthe first draft of this book I found that while I was trying to describe our experience I wasalso getting caught up in arguments on all fronts at once. This time round I have tried togive a straight account of the different methods in the first part of the book and keep allthe arguments and references to research which I discovered later on safely shut up in achapter of their own.
Generation WTF: From What the #$%&! to a Wise, Tenacious, and Fearless You: Advice on How to Get There from Experts and WTFers Just Like You - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: We all know what “WTF” usually stands for: it’s an exclamation of frustration and anger, and it’s an understandable reaction to the tough new economic realities that have hit young adults harder than any other group. WTF happened to promises of a bright future? What happened to the jobs? And what do we do now that the rules have changed?Recent college grads were raised in a time of affluence and entitlement, lulled into thinking that a golden future would just happen. With few role models to teach values like thrift, perseverance, and self-control, young adults are ill-equipped to cope with sacrifice and failure, and their dismal employment prospects are merely the most visible symptom of greater challenges.Fortunately, it’s not too late to change course. This optimistic, introspective, and technologically savvy generation already possesses many of the tools they need to thrive—if only they learn to harness the necessary skills for success.In Generation WTF, Christine Whelan does just that. Dr. Whelan, one of the foremost authorities on the history of the self-help genre, worked with more than one hundred young people to test and tweak the very best old-school advice and personalize it for the modern twenty-something. After a decade of researching the industry—and years advising “WTFers” as they struggle to make their way in the “real world”—Dr. Whelan knows firsthand what advice works and what Generation WTF has to offer.Rather than focusing on the frustration that “WTF” usually stands for, Dr. Whelan leads the charge to reclaim the acronym as a battle cry for a positive future: Generation WTF will be a wise, tenacious, and fearless generation, strengthened by purpose and hope. This practical new guide will show these WTFers the way to success and instill lasting habits that will serve them well in both good times and bad.

Young People and Sexual Exploitation: 'It's Not Hidden, You Just Aren't Looking' - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Work with sexually exploited young people can be rewarding yet difficult. They can be hard to access, often presenting challenging behavior. Sometimes it is painful to hear their life stories, whether these include abuse through the internet or exploitation experienced through having been trafficked into and within the country. Jenny J. Pearce draws on young people's voices to explore the difficulties that arise for researchers and for practitioners when working with sexually exploited young people. While child protection interventions must guide social work, she argues that other agencies such as health, education, housing and training each have a role to play in supporting a sexually exploited young person. Challenging the uncritical acceptance of the child as victim, the book suggests 'therapeutic outreach' as an approach to working with sexually exploited young people that can complement child protection procedures, support practitioners in the field and enhance the young person's sense of autonomy and responsibility during their transition to adulthood. The book advocates the relationship between practitioners and the young people they aim to support to be one of the most important resources in practice. "Young People and Sexual Exploitation" will be essential reading for anyone interested in preventing the sexual exploitation of children and young people. It will be particularly relevant for academics, students, practitioners and policymakers in the fields of social policy and social work, child and family work, child protection and youth work.
