I Was a Tree Once
Why are we capable of such dignified ascension of the average and expected? It's probably because we have never been either. Our English class has a unique chemistry that rivals that of the Curies. Settling disputes through Jenga wars and daring to decry influential literature, we demand nothing less than passion. Emotions run high when Jenga blocks waver, swaying with our expectations; every class member leans in with bated breath and often baiting words, transfixed to the point of enchantment. However, we have learned to transfer our frustration at the toppling Jenga tower into driving excitement in Socratic forums. This driving emotion force has fueled our late night reading and early morning classes. Emotion inspired dedication to the book you now grasp. It is the emotion of a class all its own, and this is ours.
Class Rules
Class Rules challenges the popular myth that high schools are the “Great Equalizers.” In his groundbreaking study, Cookson demonstrates that adolescents undergo different class rites of passage depending on the social-class composition of the high school they attend. Drawing on stories of schools and individual students, the author shows that where a student goes to high school is a major influence on his or her social class trajectory. Class Rules is a penetrating, original examination of the role education plays in blocking upward mobility for many children. It offers a compelling vision of an equitable system of schools based on the full democratic rights of students. Book Features: P...

미국 보딩스쿨 300
미국 보딩스쿨을 소개해 주자는 생각에 저자는 2013년 《미국 보딩스쿨 top 100》을 출간하였으며, 지금 1년이 흘렀다. 그동안 책에서 소개 못 한 학교들과 계속해서 업데이트 되는 정보들은 저자가 직접 운영하는 네이버 조기유학 카페 에 올리고 있다. 다시 이 책을 발행하게 된 이유는, 인터넷 정보가 홍수처럼 넘치다 보니 미국 보딩스쿨 유학을 준비하는 분들에게 인터넷 정보만으로는 학교들에 대한 변별력을 가질 수 없다는 생각이 들었기 때문이다. 너도나도 명문 보딩스쿨이라는 타이틀을 걸고 있고, 단순 보딩스쿨 랭킹을 S...

In the Eye of a Brainstorm
Learn what lurks inside a teenage mind and discover all that it has to offer. In the Eye of a Brainstorm unearths the limitless creativity of two classes worth of Honors English III students, and it does so with grace and elegance. Freed from the constraints of formal writing and assigned topics, the students chased ideas they loved and worked to generate stories that make them proud. No one story is the same, but all have the identical investment of inspiration and spirit. The students volunteered to publish In The Eye of a Brainstorm; no one forced them to do so, nor was a grade associated with their participation. What exists is truth and effort; therefore, read the stories for not only what they say, but, more importantly, to honor the effort it took to say it.
