Stuck in the Shallow End, updated edition
Author: Jane Margolis
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262533464
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
Why so few African American and Latino/a students study computer science: updated edition of a book that reveals the dynamics of inequality in American schools. The number of African Americans and Latino/as receiving undergraduate and advanced degrees in computer science is disproportionately low. And relatively few African American and Latino/a high school students receive the kind of institutional encouragement, educational opportunities, and preparation needed for them to choose computer science as a field of study and profession. In Stuck in the Shallow End, Jane Margolis and coauthors look at the daily experiences of students and teachers in three Los Angeles public high schools: an overcrowded urban high school, a math and science magnet school, and a well-funded school in an affluent neighborhood. They find an insidious “virtual segregation” that maintains inequality. The race gap in computer science, Margolis discovers, is one example of the way students of color are denied a wide range of occupational and educational futures. Stuck in the Shallow End is a story of how inequality is reproduced in America—and how students and teachers, given the necessary tools, can change the system. Since the 2008 publication of Stuck in the Shallow End, the book has found an eager audience among teachers, school administrators, and academics. This updated edition offers a new preface detailing the progress in making computer science accessible to all, a new postscript, and discussion questions (coauthored by Jane Margolis and Joanna Goode).

Split
Author: Bonny Dail
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1644585855
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
Split is a story of purity and faithfulness. Split is about a young virgin, born to parents who did not want her, as she was put up for adoption before her birth, but for some reason, her mother decided to keep her. This young virgin loved God to the point that she did not want to disappoint him and chose to be faithful unto him. Her faithfulness to him included staying a virgin until she got married and then being faithful to her husband. During her childhood, she spent part of her growing up in the projects of Chicago, where she witnessed very little faithfulness or purity around her, even in her household. No matter where she lived as a child, people in her age group considered her a reject. Since most of her young life, she had no friends in her own age group, this drew her closer to God. At the tender age of nine years old, she accepts Christ into her life and gets baptized. After she is baptized, a woman at the church where she was baptized, befriends her, and later asks her if she would marry her son. At nine years old, she agrees to marry the woman's son, whom she has never met. The woman tells her that she will train her to be the wife of her son and that they will get married when she turns twenty-one years old. She tells the child that she will bring her son to church on the following Sunday. From then on, every other Sunday, the young virgin would go to the woman's house for training, until she was grown. During those years of training, the young man she was to marry kept trying to get her to have sex with him and even tried to take it by force. She, on the other hand, let him know that she has chosen to be a virgin bride. In her twentieth year, with only one year to go before their wedding, things go all wrong because of him. Twenty-one more years will pass before they are united in marriage. During those extended twenty-one years, they never lost love for each other, in spite of what happens in their separate lives. The young virgin becomes a virgin bride, but not as expected. Over the years, she strides to live a pure and faithful life unto God, through her first love.

Deepening Community
Author: Paul Born
Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers
ISBN: 1626560994
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
Community shapes our identity, quenches our thirst for belonging, and bolsters our physical, mental, emotional, and economic health. But in the chaos of modern life, community ties have become unraveled, leaving many feeling afraid or alone in the crowd, grasping at shallow substitutes for true community. In this thoughtful and moving book, Paul Born describes the four pillars of deep community: sharing our stories, taking the time to enjoy one another, taking care of one another, and working together for a better world. To show the role each of these plays, he shares his own stories—as a child of refugees and as a longtime community activist. It’s up to us to create community. Born shows that the opportunity is right in front of us if we have the courage and conviction to pursue it.

Toward the end of the first decade of the new millennium, many people felt a sense of urgency, almost that time was running out. The world is still here five years on, but for many, 2012 was a year of great change. For author Amanda McLeod, 2012 was marked by a series of events and upheavals that changed her life forever.
