The Queen of Education : rules for making school work by Johnson, LouAnne instant download

xviii, 219 pages : 24 cm, \"In this book, \"Queen\" LouAnne offers her down-to-earth advice about fixing schools. Johnson makes no secret about the fact that she is fed up with an educational system that is too quick to label and write off children who don't fit the mold. Among her royal rules for fixing the system: no class shall have more than 20 students, all elected representatives must teach in a public school classroom for two weeks, and the testing frenzy must stop this very second! LouAnne is a passionate advocate for schools that are smaller, healthier, more humane, and more attuned to different learning styles. With humor and good sense, she shows how a compassionate teacher or parent can cut through the red tape and make a crucial difference in the life of a child.\"--Jacket, Includes index, Queen of Education -- Questions that keep me awake at night -- The accidental teacher -- Memo to the boss -- Down with detention -- Dear Miss J. -- Truth in labeling -- Hey Miss J.! -- Scotopic sensitivity -- The big fat problem -- Why I wouldn't give my own kid Ritalin -- My dream school, Includes bibliographical references and index
