Learning in the Fast Lane
Author: Chester E. Finn, Jr.
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691216916
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
"More than three million high-school students take five million Advanced Placement exams each May, yet remarkably little is known about how this sixty-year-old, privately-run program, has become one of U.S. education's greatest successes. From its mid-century origin as a tiny option for privileged kids from posh schools, AP has also emerged as a booster rocket into college for hundreds of thousands of disadvantaged youngsters. It challenges smart kids, affects school ratings, affords rewarding classroom challenges to great teachers, tunes up entire schools, and draws vast support from philanthropists, education reformers and policymakers. AP stands as America's foremost source of college-level academics for high school pupils. Praised for its rigor and integrity, more than 22,000 schools now offer some-or many-of its thirty-eight subjects, from Latin to calculus, art to computer science. But challenges abound today, as AP faces stiffening competition (especially dual credit), curriculum wars, charges of elitism, misgivings by elite schools and universities, and the arduous work of infusing rigor into schools that lack it and academic success into young people unaccustomed to it. In today's polarized climate, can Advanced Placement maintain its lofty standards and overcome the hostility, politics and despair that have sunk so many other bold education ventures? Advanced Placement: The Unsung Success Story of American Education is a unique account-richly documented and thoroughly readable-of the AP program in all its strengths and travails, written by two of America's most respected education analysts"--

The Conjugal Wife
Author: Ray Johnson
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1462839002
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
Perhaps the most exhilarating experience in all the world is being in bed with a murderess. Every man who has the opportunity should do so at least once in his lifetime. These were the curious and dangerous thoughts of a man by lust possessed. The man was Dalton Nordstrom, a handsome and engaging man who seemingly had everything life has to offer: the type of man that it is hard to buy a gift for because he appears to have everything already. Lanetta is the intoxicating woman that caused Dalton to think so foolishly, to act with blind abandon. Like Dalton, Lanetta also has many attributes; the most striking of which is her beauty. But it is impossible for beauty to fully blossom behind prison bars. Is Lanetta really a murderess? The courts say she is, but she claims to be blameless. Lanettas sister, Quilla, believes in her innocence. Quilla is just as beautiful as Lanetta, but cut from a different bolt of cloth: a righteous bolt of fabric, rather than cloth woven with menacing threads of narcotics and robbery. A dangerous triangle is forming, a convicted murderess, a rich businessman and a religious sister. It is difficult to envision anything good coming from this disparate trinity.
