Book Description
Witness the Drama and Recovery from a Traumatic Accident New Book tells the story of a young man struggling to recover from a near-death experience Recovering from any injury is never an easy goal, but for Joey in “Be that as it May” experiencing TBI (other wise known as Traumatic Brain Injury by the medical profession) was one of the toughest things a person can go through. Looking normal and trying to portray yourself/himself as such, can and is a bit much. Joey understands that everybody has their challenges and the events we experience in our lives makes us who we are. If nothing ever happens, it’s like living in a closet. The story that the book is about was inspired by events that happened during the author’s life, after the injury. It begins when a terrible accident changes the direction of life and ravages Joey, a struggling young man who is on his way to being one of New York City’s Bravest in only four days is the physical examination for the department that he has spent months preparing for. He played sports most of his life and this was just another goal that he had to achieve, and give him a future. Brought up in a family of cops and firemen, you could say it’s in his blood. He knew what he had to do to achieve his goal and being physically fit was the main thing. The injury that changed everything, in a matter of looking at it, changed everything. This book can be looked at in many ways. Whichever one you choose is your opinion and is all I can do is hope that the inspiration is intertwined with appreciation. Because of this event, it has changed not only Joey’s perception but his acceptance. If you can’t change it, don’t worry about it. The key to longevity. Be That As It May emphasizes that trauma is a double edged sword, not only accidents cause but also the ramifications of any injuries sustained in them. The effects are not only physical. Physical also effects psychological. In a matter of looking at things you notice that physical pain effect psychological reasoning. After all, why do you think physical torture works so well?

Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
Parents of school children frustrated and confused by the way the public school system seems to shut them out of any meaningful contribution to the education of their children should find this book informative and very helpful. The author recounts many of her experiences in the Public Education System from the inside where she taught in a wide variety of places and grades throughout Western Canada, over a period of 46 years. She recounts the many changes that have taken place in that time frame. Roberta (as she prefers to be called) prides herself on the courage to face difficulties head on and challenge authority when it appears to be self-serving rather than dedicated to its founding principles. This pursuit has led her to run for public office three times and enter several other fields, some in the private sector, which gives her a different perspective than souly as a public servant. The topics covered range from new trends since the end of W.W. II to whether uniforms should be instituted to what can be done about bullying. Many authorities are quoted and brought into the discussion from Statistics Canada to Hilda Neatby. Education is a hot button topic these days, second only to Health Care in Canada it seems. Roberta wonders whether we are due for some real fundamental changes in the way we teach our children. This book encourages us to open a true dialectic on the subject.

Education as and for Legitimacy
Author: M.K. Bacchus
Publisher: Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press
ISBN: 0889208913
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
This study of the development of education in the British West Indian colonies during the last half of the nineteenth century examines the educational policies and curriculum used in schools following the abolition of slavery. During this period the nature and development of the educational system in the region was profoundly affected by the decline of the sugar industry, the emergence of black and coloured middle classes and the threat they posed to the ruling white elite, and the institutionalization of cultural divisions between the black and white populations. Bacchus argues that after 1846 the elite white plantocracy used the educational system to maintain domination following the end of slavery. This is the first book to present an overall picture of educational developments in the British West Indies in this period and pays special attention to the historical context in which they occurred. In Education as and for Legitimacy, the author continues the study of West Indian education he began with his previous book, Utilization, Misuse, and Development of Human Resources in the Early West Indian Colonies.
