Think you know everything about schools and education? Think again! This humorous look at the business of learning will challenge your conceptions about teaching and the education system in the United States. It cracks open topics often ignored by institutions and critics, exposes the industry's hard political and financial realities, and encourages readers to think realistically about it all.
Several postulates encourage teachers to think outside the box. Postulate Three offers a different approach to motivating students: "Necessity may be the mother of all invention, but laziness is certainly the father."
Other postulates provide thought-provoking views of the education industry in the United States: "Education is the only business where the customer is satisfied with less and less product."
For teachers, students, and parents alike, Farber's postulates seek to stimulate discussion about what can and cannot be expected from schools -- and how to thrive in today's mad world of academia. It is a guide to the pitfalls that teachers face, an insight into students' behavior, and a refreshingly unconventional approach to understanding and enjoying life's most rewarding profession.
Burned-out educator? Bored student? Frustrated parent? Or just thinking about becoming a teacher? Let Farber guide you.
