School Selfies Teachers, Parents, Students and Bandwagons exposes truths and shines a light on issues in education that demand attention. It is an honest, no-frills selfie of schools today, and it should be compulsory reading for the general public, teachers, parents, teachers-in-training, professors at teachers’ colleges, students and administrators. Here are the tales of terror, joy and tragedy about teaching that few others have the experience or the courage to reveal. Here is the undistorted, sometimes shocking, wide-angle view of what really occurs in public schools. From the dangerous false accusation syndrome to Mom and Dad as the new bully on the playground, readers will feel recognition, shock, fear, laughter, disbelief and hope as they discover the truths hidden behind school doors.

This book was fantastic. While I read it I could hear my husbands' voice (who is also in the school system) telling me these stories. They are so true and happen at every school. From the parents who believe their kids can do no wrong to the teachers campaigning against one another. My husband felt such relief that all this stuff doesn't just happen at his school! Everyone in the school system from teachers, to principals, to parents and even students should read this book to get a real view of just what school is like now.Product details

School Selfies Teachers Parents Students and Bandwagons Freda Lewkowicz 9781511829021 Books Reviews
This book is a must for anyone involved in the public education system. Parents, current teachers and administrators, and those thinking of entering the profession will all benefit greatly from reading what Ms Lewkowicz has to say.
School Selfies, a collection of essays covering a gamut of topics based on Ms Lewkowicz' 39 years in the classroom, is a real eye-opener. She tackles such controversial issues as overprotective parents, today's entitled youth, harassment in the workplace and, basically, much that ails the teaching profession today. It is one teacher's honest look at what is happening in our schools.If you think you know everything about teachers, teaching and the educational system, then think again! Freda Lewkowicz has written an excellent book that should be mandatory reading for all who are committed to public education.
In her new anthology, "School SelfiesTeachers,Parents, Students and Bandwagons ", Freda Lewkowicz has told a great many truths, and told them brilliantly. She does not mince words, nor does she attempt political correctness. Instead, she simply tells the truth as seen through her eyes; the eyes of a master teacher with several decades of practice in her profession. She has chronicled the arrival of the hovering helicopter parents, the scared to do anything controversial administrators, the lies, the sucking up, and the total avoidance of the pachyderm in the playhouse..... What has become of learning, of respect, of basic values be they educational/grammatical, political or personal?
This is a powerful book which explains in depth what is happening in education today, and what must be done to repair it for the good of all, be they teachers, administrators parents or students. Are there still good students and bright ones...yes! Are there many who feel entitled and superior, and have no need to follow rules, do assignments, or act with grace and class, again Yes! Are there many parents allowing and even encouraging this? Also yes. Sadly so. Freda has many illustrative examples in her book to prove the point. And the point is, EDUCATION IS WORTH SAVING, FOR THE GOOD OF US ALL!
And sadly, it is dying under the weight of ill thought out and educationally bankrupt government initiatives, cutbacks and reforms...(the emperor’s new clothes), Administrations which no longer seem capable of maintaining order or backing teachers by holding people other than teaching staff accountable - including themselves; by parents who lie and cover for their children; and by the children whose feelgood awards for breathing air and participating in life will mean less than nothing in the economic realities of tomorrow.
There are no participation or feelgood awards in the struggle for jobs. You get it or you don't. That's reality. Nobody gives you a prize for trying...similarly you either can write intelligibly and comprehend what you have read or not. At some point life itself will hold us all accountable. Freda is accountable. She has accepted her role. She tried to stem the rise of banality and political correctness, and got into trouble for it. Let us learn the main lessons in her book. It isn't yet too late, but midnight is fast approaching.
