Die Schule ist in vielen Familien das Problemthema Nr. 1. Dagmar Neubronner, Mutter der prominentesten ›Schulverweigerer‹ Deutschlands, schildert spannend und anschaulich, wie es kam, dass sie und ihr Mann trotz großer Bedenken den beiden Söhnen Moritz und Thomas erlaubten, frei zu lernen – ohne Schule und mittlerweile ohne jeglichen Pflichtunterricht. Wie funktioniert freies Lernen, und wie muss sich Schule verändern, damit es auch dort funktioniert? Was können Eltern und Lehrer tun? Mit ausführlichem Anhang zu pädagogischen und juristischen Fragen.

Le Petit Poème de Saint Grégoire l’Arménien constitue une œuvre d’art dans la mesure où la poésie est classée parmi les arts. La vie de Saint Grégoire l’Arménien modèle un pragmatisme philosophique où le christianisme est vécu dans toute son ampleur, pratiqué dans toute sa véhémence et expérimenté en dépit de son idéalisme apparemment impraticable, cependant profondément accessible dans la foi chrétienne ; cette foi dont la vie de Saint Grégoire illustre la bannière invisible et la grâce du Christ en est l’emblème. Nous n’avons pas voulu dissocier ...

Some fish are meant to be caught. Others are meant to slip out of your hands and flop around on the boat deck of life.

In Strikethru, you’ll find stories of— friends who disappeared like Homer Simpson into a bush romantic partners who gleefully sabotaged new ...

During that time, he noticed many of the challenges they faced weren’t all that different from the ones he had to face growing up: things like relationships, the battle for good grades, and the wins and losses of the sports world.

Die berühmte italienische Reformpädagogin Maria Montessori (1870-1952) hat mit ihren pädagogischen Idealen die Welt der Erziehung weit über ihre Lebenszeit hinaus geprägt. Mit ihrem Engagement gab sie den Kindern dieser Welt ein Werkzeug in die Hand, das ihnen ermöglichte, die eigene Bildung selbst in die Hand zu nehmen und unabhängig vom Erwachsenen zu werden. In diesem Hörbuch begleiten wir Maria Montessori auf ihren Schiffsreisen 1913 und 1915 nach Amerika, wo sie ihrer "Methode" durch eine Reihe eindrucksvoller Auftritte zum internationalen Durchbruch verhelfen konnte.

Der Lehrer, von dem du gerne gelernt hättest (und deine Eltern wären froh gewesen, hättest du so einen Lehrer gehabt). Ein ganz und gar ungewöhnlicher Lehrer schreibt über die Erkenntnisse aus der jahrzehntelangen Arbeit mit Schülerinnen und Schülern. Die wichtigsten Dinge hat Dieter Bachmann nämlich nicht im Studium gelernt, sondern vom Leben selbst oder eben von den Kindern. Von Herrn Bachmann können wir wiederum lernen, wie man Kindern Vertrauen schenkt, wie man im Umgang mit ihnen authentisch bleibt, Haltung und Mitmenschlichkeit zeigt und dabei Kreativität, Toleranz und Kommunikation in den Mittelpunkt stellt.

By the end of his life, Stewart’s intimate knowledge of Hong Kong was considered unequaled among non-Chinese in Hong Kong at the time.

The stories in this book are all of real encounters, ranging from backstage encounters in universities that reveal the social world of academe to lessons learned from anxiety-ridden sororities girls to a transforming encounter with a Black man who grew from a child working at jobs such as a chicken-catcher at nights to support his family and became successful and wealthy to the point that he was able to buy the movie theater that forced him to sit in the balcony when he was young.

I retired from teaching this year (2020) after 30 years in high school. When I started teaching, we still typed everything on electric typewriters and then had someone in the office run copies on a mimeograph machine. (I can still smell that warm ink!) The coolest technology I used was a reel-to-reel movie projector and a filmstrip projector that advanced by itself instead of giving me the beep to advance it.

Scopri chi sei e chi vuoi diventare. Prendi i tuoi sogni sul serio. Fai volare l'aquilone. Sii libero, Hammudi. Continua a brillare. "Mi chiamo Nicolò. E tu?" "Hammudi" dice, indicandosi. "Siria." È sfuggito alla guerra, è sopravvissuto al mare, ma il suo sorriso è enorme. Nicolò sente che rischierebbe tutto, per non spegnere quel sorriso. Intorno a loro si estende l'hotspot di Samos, un posto che assomiglia all'inferno, in cui i profughi vivono ammassati nelle tende, senza acqua né luce, tra cumuli di immondizia.
