Найти книгу: "The School-to-Prison Pipeline"

The “school-to-prison pipeline” is an emerging trend that pushes large numbers of at-risk youth—particularly children of color—out of classrooms and into the juvenile justice system. The policies and practices that contribute to this trend can be seen as a pipeline with many entry points, from under-resourced K-12 public schools, to the over-use of zero-tolerance suspensions and expulsions and to the explosion of policing and arrests in public schools. The confluence of these practices threatens to prepare an entire generation of children for a future of incarceration.In this comprehensive study of the relationship between American law and the school-to-prison pipeline, co-authors Catherine Y. Kim, Daniel J. Losen, and Damon T. Hewitt analyze the current state of the law for each entry point on the pipeline and propose legal theories and remedies to challenge them. Using specific state-based examples and case studies, the authors assert that law can be an effective weapon in the struggle to reduce the number of children caught in the pipeline, address the devastating consequences of the pipeline on families and communities, and ensure that our public schools and juvenile justice system further the goals for which they were created: to provide meaningful, safe opportunities for all the nation’s children.

Ричард Бринслей Шеридан – знаменитый английский драматург, оратор и политик. Его «Школа злословия» – одна из вершин английской сатирической литературы. Вся пьеса проникнута стремлением автора разоблачить ненавистные ему ханжество, корыстолюбие, лицемерие «высшего света». И для этого Шеридану не надо было выдумывать сложной сюжетной схемы, запутанных перипетий. Ему достаточно было представить на сцене светскую жизнь, мир интриг, аристократических козней, погубленных репутаций, расстроенных свадеб, сплетен и слухов, где нет «большего наслаждения», чем опорочить других. Комедия «Школа злословия» – единственная пьеса английского репертуара конца XVIII века, которая до сих пор ставится на английских сценах. Всех, изучающих английский язык и совершенствующих свои навыки в нем, приглашает в «Школу злословия» актриса Аниссой Наоуай. Аудиокнига на английском языке.

"'Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. Just stick out your wand hand, step on board and we can take you anywhere you want to go.'" When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of him, it's the start of another far from ordinary year at Hogwarts for Harry Potter. Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, is on the run – and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry's tea leaves… But perhaps most terrifying of all are the Dementors patrolling the school grounds, with their soul-sucking kiss… Pottermore has now launched the Wizarding World Book Club.

The narrative tells a fictionalized account in the first-person perspective of an allegedly true experience of escape artist Harry Houdini. Set in 1910, in Egypt, Houdini finds himself kidnapped by a tour guide, who resembles an ancient pharaoh, and thrown down a deep hole near the Great Sphinx of Giza. While attempting to find his way out, he stumbles upon a gigantic ceremonial cavern and encounters the real-life deity that inspired the building of the Sphinx.
