DOWNLOAD EBOOK#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The twentieth anniversary edition of the classic story of an incredible group of students and the teacher who inspired them, featuring updates on the students’ lives, new journal entries, and an introduction by Erin Gruwell Now a public television documentary, Freedom Writers: Stories from the Heart In 1994, an idealistic first-year teacher in Long Beach, California, named Erin Gruwell confronted a room of “unteachable, at-risk” students. She had intercepted a note with an ugly racial caricature and angrily declared that this was precisely the sort of thing that led to the Holocaust. She was met by uncomprehending looks—none of her students had heard of one of the defining moments of the twentieth century. So she rebooted her entire curriculum, using treasured books such as Anne Frank’s diary as her guide to combat intolerance and misunderstanding. Her students began recording their thoughts and feelings in their own diaries, eventually dubbing themselves the “Freedom Writers.” Consisting of powerful entries from the students’ diaries and narrative text by Erin Gruwell, The Freedom Writers Diary is an unforgettable story of how hard work, courage, and determination changed the lives of a teacher and her students. In the two decades since its original publication, the book has sold more than one million copies and inspired a major motion picture Freedom Writers. And now, with this twentieth-anniversary edition, readers are brought up to date on the lives of the Freedom Writers, as they blend indispensable takes on social issues with uplifting stories of attending college—and watch their own children follow in their footsteps. The Freedom Writers Diary remains a vital read for anyone who believes in second chances.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The California Teacher, Vol. 1: A Journal of School and Home Education and Official Organ of the Department of Public Instruction; From July, 1863, to June, 1864 Why should not the pioneer teachers of this State, in the next Institute, take measures of self-organization, self-recognition, and self-examination, and raise themselves above the humiliating necessity of submitting to an examination by members of other professions, or of no professions at all 'i A State Educational Society could be organized by those who should pass the next examination by the State Board, those who hold diplomas of graduation from Normal Schools, and the Professors in the various Colleges and Collegiate Schools of the State. This Society could become legally incorporated at the next session of the Mgisla ture, and other members could be admitted from time to time by passing a regular examination and receiving diplomas. Such certificates would soon be gladly recognized by unprofessional examiners (many of whom, though men of educa tion, feel that they are not duly qualified to sit in judgment on the competency of' teachers for their peculiar work) as the best possible assurance of fitness to teach. And teachers may rest assured that legislative enactments would soon follow, making such diplomas prima facie evidence of ability to teach in any part of the State, without further examination.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The California Teacher, Vol. 5: A Journal of School and Home Education, and Organ of the Department of Public Instruction; From July 1867 to June 1868 WE live in a practical, mattenof-fact age. The universal cry is for practical men. Modern philosophy, in harmony with the times, is experimental - rejects mysticism, tends to rationalism, and deals chiefly with great material questions. It demands leaders and la borers whose intellectual habits have been moulded in the schools of experience; and the tendency is everywhere seen to subordinate, almost to ignore, those studies and pursuits which do not, to the popular understanding, appear to keep step with what is called the march of improvement. Success is accepted as at once the test and the measure of abil ity, whether we speak of the triumphs of the forum, the cabinet, the sacred desk, the pursuits of commerce and industry, or what ever department of intellectual labor is taken as the standard of comparison. We cannot object to the judgment which is rendered upon this issue, provided the success is a genuine fruit of labor and talent, combined with the training of experience, and is not the offspring of a lucky accident. Mankind never fail to appreciate him who has at once the power and the disposition to serve them in whatever sphere of usefulness or honor he may elect. Just in proportion to his power and willingness to serve will he be used. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
