A Curriculum of Unquestionable Value and Lasting Relevance
Author: Lee Smith
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1662466137
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
Many of the people who are saying the schools are not providing students with the knowledge and skill levels needed for today’s or tomorrow’s workforce when they were in school were high achievers. Many were the best and brightest their schools had to offer. They also received their education during an era criticized as having not provided them with the knowledge and skills levels adequate for then or today’s needs. As defective products of the problem, they are not capable of meeting the challenge of effecting meaningful and lasting educational curriculum change. This brings up the question of what qualifies this author then to speak with authority on how to affect meaningful and lasting educational reform. The answer is that he is not part of all this. Many of the reformers recognize him as the guy who would punch them in the arm and take their lunch money. The author was also the class clown. His teachers said he was failing because he daydreamed in class. They said he was failing because he did not turn in his homework. They said that, while he had learned to walk and talk on his own without any help from them, that he had some organic problem keeping him from learning. What all these teachers and counselors and evaluators and probation officers and school board members and parents and foster parents and everyone else never, ever said is that he was struggling with division because he had not mastered the times tables. They just did not know, perhaps really did not care. He knew this, and in the early part of the fifth grade, he decided his life would be better and easier if he submitted to learning the multiplication tables. For this reason, he is essentially self-educated and so has a particularly different point of view from these other self-described, poorly prepared products of the education system. In addition to being outside the public education system, another factor in his qualifications to evaluate the nation’s educational efforts is his shoes; they are steel-toed.

Dawn of the Electronic Age
Author: Frederik Nebeker
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470260653
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 565
Book Description
A comprehensive and fascinating account of electrical and electronics history Much of the infrastructure of today's industrialized world arose in the period from the outbreak of World War I to the conclusion of World War II. It was during these years that the capabilities of traditional electrical engineering—generators, power transmission, motors, electric lighting and heating, home appliances, and so on—became ubiquitous. Even more importantly, it was during this time that a new type of electrical engineering—electronics—emerged. Because of its applications in communications (both wire-based and wireless), entertainment (notably radio, the phonograph, and sound movies), industry, science and medicine, and the military, the electronics industry became a major part of the economy. Dawn of the Electronic Age?explores how this engineering knowledge and its main applications developed in various scientific, economic, and social contexts, and explains how each was profoundly affected by electrical technologies. It takes an international perspective and a narrative approach, unfolding the story chronologically. Though a scholarly study (with sources of information given in endnotes for engineers and historians of science and technology), the book is intended for the general public.?Ultimately, it tells the story of the development of a new realm of engineering and its widespread applications during the remarkable and tragic period of two world wars and the decades in between.
