Troublemakers
Author: Carla Shalaby
Publisher: The New Press
ISBN: 1620972379
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
A radical educator's paradigm-shifting inquiry into the accepted, normal demands of school, as illuminated by moving portraits of four young "problem children" In this dazzling debut, Carla Shalaby, a former elementary school teacher, explores the everyday lives of four young "troublemakers," challenging the ways we identify and understand so-called problem children. Time and again, we make seemingly endless efforts to moderate, punish, and even medicate our children, when we should instead be concerned with transforming the very nature of our institutions, systems, and structures, large and small. Through delicately crafted portraits of these memorable children—Zora, Lucas, Sean, and Marcus—Troublemakers allows us to see school through the eyes of those who know firsthand what it means to be labeled a problem. From Zora's proud individuality to Marcus's open willfulness, from Sean's struggle with authority to Lucas's tenacious imagination, comes profound insight—for educators and parents alike—into how schools engender, exclude, and then try to erase trouble, right along with the young people accused of making it. And although the harsh disciplining of adolescent behavior has been called out as part of a school-to-prison pipeline, the children we meet in these pages demonstrate how a child's path to excessive punishment and exclusion in fact begins at a much younger age. Shalaby's empathetic, discerning, and elegant prose gives us a deeply textured look at what noncompliance signals about the environments we require students to adapt to in our schools. Both urgent and timely, this paradigm-shifting book challenges our typical expectations for young children and with principled affection reveals how these demands—despite good intentions—work to undermine the pursuit of a free and just society.

Problem Child Single Parent
Author: Sandra Williams Brassell
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1466922958
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
On this journey with my daughter being an emotionally impaired student in a special education classroom, I found much discrimination when she reached the age of twelve when it started becoming apparent to me. It seemed she was rejected by her peers who made fun of her disability and learning ability but it did not help much when she was being called LD or the "504 kid" and other names associated with her disability. Kids can be so cruel to one another without understanding the depth of the pain they inflict. This conduct started in her second year in junior high and lasted through her high school years. Mr. Knight, principal of Munger Junior High School stated that he had seen a significant and rapid change in my daughter's behavior since last year. It is sad that a principal can point out that my daughter was going downhill and did nothing to fix it until I started writing letters and she was sent to another school, it was as simple as a telephone call. At that time, Mr. Knight stated there was no money in the school district budget to have my daughter moved. The downfall in an EI Special Education Classroom is that everyone has ADHD which was the biggest of my daughter's problems, those boys who was really rough. They were in trouble especially when they had nothing to do but play games for the entire day every single day. They didn't have a teacher but they did have a "babysitter" in the classroom that was hired from the Kronk's Boxing Gym. This man had no teaching skills. I told Mr. Knight I was very disappointed with what was going on in Jemeica's class. I asked him if Mr. Ronald was a certified teacher. He replied no and stated they would be hiring a certified teacher soon. I then asked Mr. Knight where were the books and other learning resources in the classroom that was supposed to be the main teaching tools needed. I asked how was it possible for my daughter to learn anything without a teacher or any other resources the classroom needed including books-not one book in the classroom. There was one black male student who checked in each morning but saddened by the fact he was not learning anything so he just walked out of school each day. I would see him leave the school myself and no one seemed to care. The Dearborn Heights-Westwood school district could not find an EI Classroom for my daughter to attend Emotional Impaired Classroom. This left her at home learning nothing for far too many days leading to months. I was sending my daughter to school for an education and that is something she never received-whether it was discrimination of her disability or her race. Not when her psychiatrist gave the names of three schools she could attend and yet she could not find a school for her to attend.
