Pro democracy demonstration Haiti December 2003
by rss@youtube.com (jafrikayiti)
15 Mar 2008 at 8:37am
I filmed these women in downtown Port-au-Prince in December 2003. Their organization FAVILEK, walked the streets to demand that the U.S., Canada, and Europe -backed opposition forces stop the practice of forcing public school closings as a tactic to overthrow the popular Government of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. "they force schools attended by poor people's children to close, while their own children continue to benefit education in fancy universities abroad". Indeed, inside Port-au-Prince itself, I witnessed how most shools were closed while, for instance, a private school (near Delmas 75) was attended on that day by white looking children. Perhaps, they include those of the foreign diplomats and rich Haitians who openly demonstrated (the diplomats included!) for the overthrow of the Aristide government? This demo, as many others I had the privilege to film in Haiti counter the racist and classist myth propagated in maintream media that President Aristide's support base consist of a bunch of violent thugs. The term "bandit" used prominently to dehumanize Haitian resistance during the 1915 U.S. invasion resurfaced, alongside "chimère", during the 2004 coup period.

school closings Books
Amazon Price: $12.21
Customer Review: An excellent book, unique in its own diversity. The "Book Description" and "Inside Flap" above give a good description of how this book is about the science of the research and organizing of the Berkeley High School Diversity Project, I just wanted to add a little about how the telling of the book itself expresses an understanding of diversity.
To me, the book is about the importance of education for everyone in our diverse society and how one project, one school, one community looked into achieving this education. My view is that the way Unfinished Business accomplishes this is by presenting highly researched data through both the analysis of the researchers and the writings of the people who are the data -- the students, the parents, the teachers, the school staff. Additionally, the book's content encompasses research, school and community use and understanding of research, and personal reflection. I was continually surprised at where the "plot" of the book went -- at the discoveries, the observations, and conclusions I did not expect to read. This is an important book about the process of education and civil rights.
by John Buell
Amazon Price: $17.95
Customer Review: The author primarily convinces us that homework is a tool supported by global corporations to serve as a predecessor to the arduous fifty to sixty hour work weeks expected in many professional careers. Homework is often viewed by school-aged children as a burden due to its usual stipulations of longer hours away from their friends and familial responsibilities. It can promote difficult situations within one's home, and ultimately sever family ties. For example: a child is forced by his or her parents to work on additional assignments after school, that child sometimes becomes rebellious or obnoxious in the attempt to resist the work because it is not generally seen by youngsters as a means to an end. Parents and schools are allegedly a part of an `unspoken conspiracy" to simply inflict unnecessary challenges and inconvenience on its children; rather than enrich them in academic pursuits.
John Buell's assertions substantiate the argument that homework allows organized mega-businesses such as Microsoft, IBM and Coke to acclimate future workers and even future consumers whom fit into the adult world whose mantra is "Hard Work Pays off." Does it really? Will all those extra hours of worksheets and repetitive readings adding to my wealth of knowledge or a time/space filler to minimize the number of hours spent with one's family during the week. Each product for sale is potential bait for the naïve student to develop loyalty to brand names in addition to learning the technology and programming necessary to operate the item.
Although inundation of advertisements and great deals influence the desire for high-performing gadgets and gizmos, increased dependence on technology promotes people to second guess their innate gifts and abilities and start to depend heavily on calculators and other instruments to perform simple mathematic equations. Buell also suggests that documented studies have proven that after a specific percentage of review, a child's ability to retain information is not that impressive. The distinct declaration deviates from the commonly used analogy of "children" and "sponges." This analogy demonstrates that the minds of children have an unlimited capacity for knowledge, just as a sponge retains a substantial amount of water.
This book raises good concerns about the effects of too much homework and the future roles of the students as contributors to the global economy and society. However, more thoro...

Customer Review: An inspiring story of a black community's struggle to save its schools! I use this book in an educational history course I teach at the university level. Students love the book and begin to think more critically about issues surrounding school desegregation as a result of reading it. I highly recommend it.
by Jerome G. Miller
Amazon Price: $24.95
Customer Review: You read this book and leave feeling manipulated and unsure of the author. The author describes his own...escapades and how everyone in the entire world was against him. He had a great idea, and I am very glad that he was able to succeed in removing the institutions in Maryland. However, no one can be as inept as he describes himself and still succeed. Read between the lines and his manipulation is very apparent, and you can begin to see just how he ticked so many people off. The book is self-serving and at times incoherent.
by Allan Bloom
Amazon Price: $25.10
Customer Review: If one were to come to Alan Bloom's THE CLOSING OF THE AMERICAN MIND today, that reader would surely view it through the prism of other and more focused books on the decline of America's colleges and universities. More current writers on the same topic like Dinesh D'Souza and Roger Kimball have taken the lead blazed by Bloom and have improved on it not so much by pointing to the achievements of classic philosophers but more by explainimg in more accessible prose what has caused the decline of our schools of higher education. Other reviewers have well noted the more technical aspects of Bloom's basic thrust that the rise of relativism has led relentlessly to a diminution of the very ability of language to have any universally fixed referents. When the collective humanities departments of this nation inculcate each new incoming class of freshman with a spectrum of politically correct ideology, then this is the starting point for Bloom to assess the damage done. Unfortunately, for Bloom and his readers, he spends far too much time on the theoretical and abstruse underpinnings of a traditional philosophy that he is sure has been betrayed by a legion of relativists who have no more to offer than than the sobering nihilistic concept that the primary reason that the American Mind has closed is due to a convergence between the youthful innocence of those minds and the debilitating and ruinous philosophy of cultural relativism. I cannot blame Bloom for writing the way he does since back in 1987, he had no other guides to sound the alarm that the very lifeblood of traditional American education was becoming unglued. It made sense for him to see things mostly through the lens with which he was most familar--the professor's lectern from which he could connect the dots on a wide net of philosophers who over the centuries have grappled with much the same problems but probably not to the suffocating extent that currently embodies what passes for contemporary cutting edge educational pedagogy. His book is replete with detailed analyses of the works of Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, Rousseau, Hegel,Nietzsche, Marx, and Heidegger, all of whom wrote of competing mindsets that directly relate to Bloom's thesis that relativism is a scourge that will not leave us anytime soon. Those readers who gain the most from Bloom are surely also those with the exact sort of widespread liberal education that Bloom himself has and almost as surely laments its demise in the elimination of ...

The Closing of the American Heart: What's Really Wrong With America's Schools
by Ronald H. Nash
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: After being immersed in the Christian education camp for about five years, I finally picked up this book which had been quoted and recommended so many times. I found it a little disappointing because the author so capably criticized non-evangelical positions on education but did not defend well his own position.
The author posits the need for a pluralistic school system and a curriculum that is largely core and content-based (based around a classic body of knowledge), but does not argue what substantiates this philosophy or what (if any) its weaknesses would be. It comes across more as another alternative system that the reader will have to judge relatively to others, rather than, as his evangelical orientation maintains, that it is a more *right* method of education.
In particular, the justification for the classical approach is weak. It is reminiscent of the "Cultural Literacy" approach that Ed Hirsch takes, but without a lot of justification for the skeptic of tradition. It simply relies on "it's what we've always done and so it must work" premise. That might be good for Catholic or Hebrew readers, but not most others. His case needs to be stronger if he really wants people to adopt his core curriculum (with specific, chosen authors and works) rather than their own.
Still, well worth the reading.
