What the Children Taught Me
When do you make your children share? Why is your four-year-old telling his friend she can't come to his birthday party? How do you reach a child who doesn't seem to want to be reached? All these questions and many more are addressed in this book, not with textbook prose or with psychological analysis but with stories. Drawing on thirty years of teaching elementary school children, Gail Myers shares tale after tale of children (and parents!) who left a big impression on her as she worked her way from a novice teacher's aide to a seasoned mentor. While the book drops hints of learning theory and occasionally instructs directly on what works for different ages of children, the most riveting th...
Confessions of the Classmate Who Never Was, Northfield School for Girls Class Of 1964
At 16-years-old, Melanson spent the summer waitressing at the summer conferences at Northfield School for Girls. The New England backdrop included the 125-room Schell Chateau. Her adventures include a grand tour of the Chateau under the cloak of darkness and is documented with photos and floor plans. She pleaded with her parents to send her to the boarding school, but their answer was "No". Nevertheless she retained an attachment to the school. When she became an adult she began giving to the alumnae fund because she believed in the ethic of the school. One year a flustered alumnae secretary phoned asking what class she had been affiliated with, presuming the undocumented alum had probably flunked out. Her answer was "Why 1964!" After that she was invited to reunions and her "news" appeared in the alumnae publications. In 2004, came the announcement that the Northfield campus was closing. That was the spark that prompted her to return for "her" 40th Reunion. This is that story.
The Crying Room
Confused and uncertain about life, death, sex, and music, about in that order, Rudy comes of age the summer before his final high school year in Galt, a town as dust-bowl depressed as its 1,800 citizens. Church pulpits on Sundays preach hope and eternal rewards to impatient youths and resigned elders who during the rest of the week engage their secular natures in Hollywood's escapist movies and express sinful instincts at dances and intermissions. To support himself and his widowed mother, Rudy works for those forces of escapism and sin by playing nights in a pickup dance band, janitoring days for the town's movie theater. He wants to play the sax better, make out with girls, avoid fights at...
