Pages : 386
Book Description
As seen on PBS’s POV An unprecedented guide to helping black boys achieve success at every stage of their lives—at home, at school, and in the world Regardless of how wealthy or poor their parents are, all black boys must confront and surmount the “achievement gap”: a divide that shows up not only in our sons’ test scores, but in their social and emotional development, their physical well-being, and their outlook on life. As children, they score as high on cognitive tests as their peers, but at some point, the gap emerges. Why? This is the question Joe Brewster, M.D., and Michèle Stephenson asked when their own son, Idris, began struggling in a new school. As they filmed his experiences for their award-winning documentary American Promise, they met an array of researchers who had not only identified the reasons for the gap, but had come up with practical, innovative solutions to close it. In Promises Kept, they explain • how to influence your son’s brain before he’s even born • how to tell the difference between authoritarian and authoritative discipline—and why it matters • how to create an educational program for your son that matches his needs • how to prepare him for explicit and implicit racism in school and in the wider world • how to help your child develop resilience, self-discipline, emotional intelligence, and a positive outlook that will last a lifetime Filled with innovative research, practical strategies, and the voices of parents and children who are grappling with these issues firsthand, Promises Kept will challenge your assumptions and inspire you to make sure your child isn’t lost in the gap. Praise for Promises Kept “The authors offer a plethora of information and advice geared toward the specific developmental needs of black boys. . . . Thorough and detailed, this guidebook is also a call to action. As Brewster sees it, when people of color remain complacent, they not only break a tacit promise to future generations to achieve social equity, they also imperil the futures of both the nation and the planet. A practical and impassioned parenting guide.”—Kirkus Reviews “A penetrating look at the standard practices, at school and at home, that contribute to the achievement gap between the races and the sexes that seems to put black boys at a disadvantage. [Brewster and Stephenson] debunk myths and offer ten parenting and education strategies to improve the prospects for black boys to help them overcome racial stereotypes and low expectations. . . . This is a practical and insightful look at the particular challenges of raising black males.”—Booklist

A Myth For Dragonflies
Author: Kurt Smith
Publisher: Kurt Smith
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
A Myth For Dragonflies is a heartwarming philosophical comedy set in the late 1790s, in the newly formed United States of America, a product of the Enlightenment, where ancient myths and sacred rites of passage have been abandoned for materialistic science and an unimaginative obsession with the mundane. We follow a father and son who have embarked on a dangerous quest. Although we, inheritors of the Enlightenment, claim to be finished with the sacred systems known to have ordered and unified human societies throughout history, these ancient rites of passage are not finished with us. As David Hume suggests in his Treatise On Human Nature (1739), nature has not left it up to men to abandon or to adopt such things. Myth is at the very heart of what it is to be human. There are no human beings without it. Myths are the foundational stories we tell ourselves that provide the scaffolding on which we construct our collective sense of reality. Considering the natural life cycle of the dragonfly, and the insight into there being more to the universe than meets the eye, a new myth is suggested, which for our characters works to reset the stage on which the human drama can, and some will even say must, continue to unfold.
