American education is undergoing rapid change. Concern over poor student performance, the ability and motivation of teachers, and the inefficiency of school bureaucracy have led to numerous recommendations for changing the structure of American education. These vary from small changes in the current structure to wholesale privatization of public schools. The contributions in this book discuss a wide range of proposals, including greater school choice, charter schools, promoting contact with the business community, public-private partnerships, and more. Several chapters assess the current research on choice and restructuring. Overall the consensus is that proposed reforms have a good chance of yielding significant benefits.
Canton honors a 200-year-old town nestled snuggly between the St. Lawrence River and the Adirondack foothills. With historical photographs, it illustrates Canton's glorious past, which began with New York State's purchase of the northern regions from the Iroquois, the establishment of the 10 original townships, and the incorporation of the town of Canton in 1805. The history includes notable residents, such as artist Frederic Remington, boatbuilder J. Henry Rushton, and state governor Silas Wright, and lesser-known personalities, such as Eddie Perry and Jimmy Murray.
Mapping the history of Canadian Jews from the arrival of the first settlers before 1750 through to the 1860s, Search Out the Land introduces a new set of colourful players on Canada's stage. Ezekiel Solomons, John Franks, Jacob Franks, Chapman Abraham, Rachel Myers, Moses David, Samuel Hart, Elizabeth Lyons, and a host of others now take their appropriate place in Canadian history. Focusing on the significant role played by Jews in British North America in the fight for civil and political rights, the authors compare the development of Canadians' rights with that in other British jurisdictions of the time and set the contribution of Jews within the context of other minority groups, including French Catholics, Presbyterians, Methodists, and Quakers. Using extensive archival, genealogical, and legal research, the authors prove that settlers other than those of British and French origins were building, exploring, and developing Canada from its inception.

Pagel and Franklin H. Schapiro are in an excellent position to provide retirement advice, particularly to the next group of retirees, the Baby Boomers. Both Frank and Judy came into this world just two years before the start of the Baby Boom. As such, they spent a good part of their life experiencing problems which the Baby Boomers would face, but they faced them two years before the Boomers would. (Think of issues like an overly competitive job market and career ladder, and now retirement.) These two big data, high tech doctorates have now been retired a little over six years. They enthusiastically share their first hand retirement experiences with you, both good and bad. You will particularly like those issues that just do not get mentioned in other retirement books, i.e., those experiences you only know about because you have been there. Frank and Judy have been there - recently. They also share their expertise gained in business and academics. For money management issues, Frank's last position was in wealth management at one of the nation's largest banks. For house and home and using 21st century skills, Judy brings her experience from her last position as an IT project manager working at a Fortune 50 company. Also of interest, she was recently diagnosed with a long term physical disability, putting her in the unique position of experiencing early many of the issues advancing age will bring.

Vous aimez les mots ? Vous les aimez tant et tellement qu'il vous arrive de vous demander d'o ils viennent ? Vous vous posez des questions sur eux ? Pourquoi ils s' crivent comme ils s' crivent, pourquoi ils veulent dire ce qu'ils veulent dire. Vous souhaitez mieux les conna tre ? Ce livre que vous tenez entre vos mains en ce moment m me fait pr cis ment a, il parle de mots. Il est disparate dans son approche (parfois s rieux, parfois pas), mais un fil conducteur le traverse: les mots. Les mots du dictionnaire, de la grammaire, de tous les jours; les mots anciens, les nouveaux; les mots des autres, ceux de ma m re; les mots savants, les ordinaires, ceux qu'on trouve beaux ou moins beaux; les mots, tout simplement. Cela dit, parfois, ce n'est pas simple. L'accord du participe pass (pas lui, ayez piti ), celui des adjectifs de couleur (pourquoi pas de s orange dans des c nes orange ), ces accords-l ont un c t r barbatif, c'est ind niable. Mais on peut les aborder avec l g ret , avec une once ou deux de d rision, et, soudain, ils se montrent plus digestes. D'autres sujets li s aux mots sont doux comme de la confiture aux fraises: les oiseaux et leurs chants; le chevreuil et son ravage; l'ascl piade et ses m tamorphoses. On croise aussi l'occasion dans ce livre deux vieilles amies, Laurette et Alma, qui jasent de mots. Elles discutent, se posent des questions, r fl chissent, se moquent parfois de l'autrice de ces lignes. C lavi.
