Описание: Curriculum and the Life Erratic: The Geographic Cure lays bare the untold damage done to children who are forced to endure the toxic combination of "fermented parenting" (as author Leslie Nissen has termed it) and frequent family moves at the hands of alcoholic parents who perpetually seek the elusive Geographic Cure. While such parents deceive themselves that in the next new place, sobriety will prevail, their children know better. Alcoholics who chronically uproot their families for a fresh start usually carry along every reason to drink. For the school-age children of such cure-seeking alcoholics, the torment of life with a volatile, unpredictable and chronically intoxicated parent is intensified by the anguish of being “the new kid” who changes schools at the whim of the parent. Highly mobile children, bearing an alarmingly long list of prior schools, may be part of a group which Nissen calls Geographic Cure Children, whose chances of finding help are nearly non-existent, despite their acute need for care. The dilemma of this unique subset of Children of Alcoholics is examined via autobiographical, psychoanalytic and fictional lenses. Nissen also recounts her own urge to hit the road when diagnosed with cancer, and explores the Geographic Cure writ large, observing how the current “testing frenzy” and clamor for cures for low test scores dominate educational policy. Could teachers’ panic about accountability cause them to resent new students who appear at their classroom doors mid-year? Is education encumbered because, at the hands of policy-makers, educators are working the Life Erratic?

Описание: New frontiers...and new challenges

Prairie Courtship by Dorothy Clark

Emma Allen's spinsterhood bothers her less than the lack of opportunity to use her medical training. A wagon train headed to the Oregon Trail offers a new hope for the life she wants to lead. But first she must deal with the hazards of the journey--including infuriating wagon master Zachary Thatcher

Rocky Mountain Match by Pamela Nissen

When blindness strikes carpenter Joseph Drake, the prospect of a lifetime of darkness fills him with despair. But strong-willed teacher Katie Ellickson knows what it's like to be an outcast, and she won't give up on him. Joseph thinks blindness is his most difficult obstacle, until he finds a bigger challenge--trying to reach Katie's heart. Will she let him?
