13. FS: Tough Love for Schools
Item Specifics - Nonfiction Books
Author: Frederick Hess
Hardcover 2006
Excellent Condition
In the world of K12 education, it's hard to find anyone who will
forthrightly declare that teachers are no more saintly than anyone
else, that poor schools should be closed and lousy teachers should be
fired, that philanthropy may sometimes do more harm than good, that
teaching experience is not essential to being a school principal,
that schools should be more efficient and cost-effective, or that
profit-driven competition might be good for public education.
These are the kinds of "radical" ideas that Frederick Hess puts forth
in this book of essays on school reform. He rejects the notion that
loving schools means apologizing for them. Tough love means that we
demand more, not less, of the people and the things we cherish. Tough
Love for Schools insists that we must ask how schools can do more,
rather than how they can get more, and that we be blunt and cleareyed
in our assessments of both schooling and proposed reforms.
Hess argues that real school reform requires new policies that enable
public and private entrepreneurs to forge new institutions, improve
school management, reward excellence, harness advances in technology
and knowledge, and devise strategies to draw new talent into the
field.
Tough Love for Schools explores the practical and political
challenges of accountability, competition, excellence, and the public
good. Addressing topics ranging from the federal No Child Left Behind
Act to the racial politics of school reform to the relationship of
philanthropy and schooling, Hess casts an unsparing eye on schooling
and on school officials, would-be reformers, philanthropists,
education professors, teacher unions, and public officials.
This collection includes updated and revised versions of influential
essays on issues such as who should teach, mayoral control of public
schools, the challenge of accountability systems, and what it takes
for school choice to create real competition.
In an era when thinkers on the Right and Left agree that the
America's future depends heavily on our teachers and schools, Hess
offers bracing straight talk on what we must do, assessing the
challenges and opportunities that reformers must confront. Disdaining
both jargon and sentimentality, Hess has penned a volume for people
who are ready to think seriously and talk honestly about the road
ahead.
Frederick M. Hess is director of educational policy studies at the
American Enterprise Institute and executive editor of Education Next.
A former high school social studies teacher and professor of
education, Hess earned his MEd in Teaching and Curriculum and his MA
and PhD in Government from Harvard University. His previous books
include Spinning Wheels and Revolution at the Margins

20. Josephine Pollard A Child's History of our Naval Heros Told in
One-Syllable Words Here is an example:George Wash-ing-ton was born in
the State of Vir-gin-i-a, at a place known as Bridg-es Creek, on Feb-
ru-a-ry 22, 1732. His great grand-sire, John Wash-ing-ton, came from
Eng- land in the year 1657, and took up lands in that state and was a
rich man. George was the son of his grand-son Au-gus-tine. Au-g-us-
tine's first wife was Jane But-ler who died and left him with two
boys. His next wife was Ma-ry Ball, and George was her first child.
The old home-stead in which George was born stood near the banks of
the Po-to-mac Riv-er, and was built with a steep roof that sloped
down to low eaves that hung out far from the main wall.
There were four rooms on the ground floor, and some near the roof,
and at each end of the house was a great fire-place built of brick,
with broad hearth-stones, such as were in style in those days.
A stone is all that marks the birth-place of George Wash-ing- ton. He
was not more than eight years of age when his fa-ther went to live on
a farm near the Rap-pa-han-neck Riv-er. The house was built much in
the same style as the one at Bridges Creek, but it stood on high
ground, and here all his boy-hood days were spent.
In the late 1800s a whole series of books were written in "Words of
One Syllable". Any word with more than one syllable was broken into
individual syllables. This greatly elevated the content that could be
included in a young child's book. (A far cry from the dumbed down
books written to support "Whole Language"). A third grader could
sound out words such as "Rap-pa-han-neck" or "Mon-on-ga-he-la." The
following is an excerpt from one of these books $19.00 includes
shipping

22 FS: Lincoln A Biography on Two cassettes by Peter Kunhardt
This is a review on the book itself:
>From Publishers Weekly
This pictorial biography, a companion volume to a forthcoming TV
miniseries, also stands well on its own. Most of the 900
illustrations are drawn from the Frederick Hill Meserve private
family collection, a 19th-century photo archive that specializes in
Lincoln material. Presented chronologically, the illustrations
provide both a definitive visual record of Lincoln's life and a
compelling view of the Civil War from the president's perspective.
The text, by Meserve's grandson, former Life managing editor Philip
B. Kunhardt Jr., and his two sons, relies heavily and effectively on
quotations from Lincoln and his contemporaries. The book presents not
an icon, but a man who "wrote like a poet, laughed like a hyena, and
cried real tears." His consuming struggle to preserve the Union
eventually led him to redefine its promises and extend its freedoms
in ways that determined America's future. This work convincingly
sustains and enhances Lincoln's position as a dominant moral figure
of our history. $7.00 postage paid.
