Book Description

Gender and development theory and analysis is replete with implicit assumptions that women's entry into the world of paid work will positively affect their status both in the household and in the public sphere. Until recently the debate on global factories and export production has remained focused on women's individual experience of export employment- and the extent to which this represents a positive opportunity or gross exploitation. In spite of the extended discussion of rights and citizenship in the global economy, little attention has hitherto been paid to the implications for women's entitlements arising out of their pivotal role in export sectors. Whilst many assume that women's visible and crucial presence in key economic sectors will be reflected in the ways in which social policies are formulated, there has been up to now little empirical and analytical engagement with this question. This volume, bringing together detailed commissioned studies from six developing countries, aims to fill this gap.

Book Description

NEW STUDENT GETS OLD TEACHER

The bad news is that Cara Landry is the new kid at Denton Elementary School. The worse news is that her teacher, Mr. Larson, would rather read the paper and drink coffee than teach his students anything. So Cara decides to give Mr. Larson something else to read -- her own newspaper, The Landry News.

Before she knows it, the whole fifth-grade class is in on the project. But then the principal finds a copy of The Landry News, with unexpected results. Tomorrow's headline: Will Cara's newspaper cost Mr. Larson his job?

Reid's reivew for Mr.B's assinment.......2007-10-02

In my opinion The Landry News was a great book because it was so realistic.It had problems that could happen to any kid.Everybody has school problems,and it's talking about a girls problem with her principal and teacher.For these reasons I thout that The Landry News was an exiting and fun book to read.

Reid

A Kid's Reveiw.......2007-10-02

I think The Landry News is a truly inspiring story. For instance, when Mr. Larson knew that there was a possibility he could get fired instead of panicking he just started teaching and turned the emotional stir into a journalism unit for his class. The Landry News is one of the best kids books I have ever read! It just feels like you are going through the whole adventure with Cara and Mr. Larson. I think Andrew Clements has an amazing way of grasping the thoughts that go on in kid's heads during school. This story is a great one to read and if you have the opportunity you should definitely read it. I reccomend this book for anyone else who is interested in reading thr Landry News.

The Landry News - An Awesome Book .......2007-10-01

I liked this book because it had a lot of different emotions - from Dr. Barne's anger at Mr. Larson to Cara being sad about her parent's divorce. It is a great lesson on free speech. I highly recommend you read this book.

Landry News Review by Travis Johnson.......2007-10-01

I think this is a good book for 4th-6th graders. I didn't think that this was a hard story to read. Any kid that can get their hands on it should. This is a good story because it has an interesting problem. The book had a lot of characters, so that made it fun to read. Read This Book!

Erin MB's Review A Kid's Review .......2007-09-30

In the beginnig of the book, Andrew Clements did a great job on describing how messy Mr. L arson's classroom was. I could feel the pian Cara's mother was feeling.It hurt. Questions were buzzing through my head as I read and then in time were answered. Mr. Larson, a teacher who doesn't teach, drinks coffee, and reads the newspaper all day, finnally starts teaching. He was teaching a unit of journalisum. All because of Cara's newspapers. Then Cra makes more newspapers with a motto of Truth and Mercy. Soon, a story gets in the wrong hands. That story almost cost Mr. Larson his job.

Book Description

Teachers are some of the most beloved people in the world. That's only one of the reasons why it's so easy to make fun of them. The witty, amusing, and heartwarming tidbits collected here will charm educators and their fans alike. For instance, when asked to give definitions of clouds, a classroom of elementary students provided such definitions as "Rain is saved up in cloud banks," "Clouds are high-flying fogs," and "I'm not sure how clouds get formed, but the clouds know how to do it, and that is the important thing."This book is a natural gift for our children's favorite teachers.

Great day reference calendar with wisdom and sayings from many prominent world leaders (Einstein, Mark Twain etc.) - I especially liked the one for September 25 from Dr.Joan Kowal that says -- "We need to make education a community obsession"
Andrews McMeel Publishing has another winner just as all their products - Farside/etc.

Book Description

The last thing the class expects when they go back to school is for their new teacher to be old! And then he gives them a goofy present-a book of coupons: one coupon for skipping school for a day; one coupon for not listening in class; one coupon for singing at the top of your lungs whenever you like. The list goes on! What is this wrinkly old teacher trying to do, get everyone in trouble? Susie Morgenstern follows up her award-winning book Secret Letters from 0-10 with a thoughtful, funny, and very original book that once again shows children that life is for the living.

Customer Reviews:

Kids would like Monsieur Noel.......2007-06-16

A fast read, sweet story about the year of schooling with an unusual teacher, Monsieur Noel. Initial doubt turns to understanding and growth by his charges, but his ways also raise eyebrows within the school administration. The book pleasantly reverberates from well-intended divergent-thinking leadership, and sweetly brings home the point that there's no one right way to teach and get good results. Most kids would read this, enjoy it, and wish for such a teacher.

Pleasant Read.......2006-11-10

Nice bed-time read. Provides examples of why we shouldnt pass judgement on people until we get to know them. Colorful characters entice children to continue to next chapter. Language provides lots of opportunity for parents to ask questions, i.e., Should she do that? What are the consequences if she does make that decision? etc. I enjoied seeing my child think throughout as the plot unfolds. Would buy as a gift for children

Good Life Lessons.......2005-02-06

I read this book both with my six-year-old and my ten-year-old. Both thought it was delightful and gave us a lot to talk about, as in, "What is a tactless question?" It is sweet and thoughtfully written. We were inspired to write our own book of coupons--and catagorize them for "grandma," "dad," etc... My ten-year-old says it was a great idea for a story. I am giving this book to my daughter's teachers as a gift and a read aloud to the class.

Coupons for living.......2002-02-18

This book was first published in 1999 in French, under the title of Joker. The class returning to an unnamed grammar school for its final year were happy about finishing a French summer that grown boring, but found their new teacher, Hubert Noel, decidedly alarming.

He sat behind the desk like some unmovable tree trunk, and was so fat that Mohammed wondered if he were seeing double, or triple. He had so many wrinkles that some students thought he resembled "those pictures of God, with messy white hair and reading glasses perched on the end of his nose, not to mention the balloon potbelly." His voice sounded like it came from the bowels of the earth.

But most alarming of all were the first words he spoke. Not, "my name is," or "sit down please" but "I have a present for you." And then the monstrosity gave each student a wrapped package. Inside, the children each discovered a book of coupons. They were not the kind of coupons one could use in a store.

No, each book contained one coupon for activities usually forbidden by schools--sleeping late, skipping a day of school, being late to school, losing your homework, forgetting your books, not listening in class, sleeping in class, copying from your neighbor, not going when called to the blackboard, getting out of trouble, eating in class, making a lot of noise, singing at the top of your lungs when you like, dancing in class, taking a break, clowning around, telling a lie and giving the teacher a kiss.

The children were so startled by what they found that Benedicte, whom Mr. Noel appointed to read the coupons, had to stop, and Mohammed took over. He read six more coupons--one each for hugging whomever you like, taking your own sweet time, taking a never--ending recess, forgetting the books for your assignment, taking a longer vacation and the piece de resistance, one wild card coupon.

At first the students used lots of coupons, but as the year progressed, they found that it was more fun to come to school and use the coupons en masse. This made for some surprising capers.

Everything Mr. Noel offered them was some present. An assignment to read Charles Dickens, for example, began with their receipt of gift-wrapped copies of David Copperfield. Try as they might to avoid reading it, they rather enjoyed the--er, presents--that Mr. Noel had given them. Aside from the pleasant fact that the author had the same name, Charles found he could not put the book down, and stayed up all night reading, which led him to use his late-to-school coupon the next day.

Before long, Mr. Noel got himself into very hot water with the tyrannical school principal, Incarnation Perez. How he extracted himself from that difficulty is but one of the things that makes this book magical.

Another is the priceless lesson that Mr. Noel imparted. "When you're born, you get a whole bunch of coupons."

Which ones? Charles, Laurent, and Benedicte shouted, the coupons for life--for walking, speaking, learning to read, learning languages, learning geography biology and all the other `ologies,' for sports, the coupons for love.

Then the children did something very wild with their 26 collected wild card coupons. But you'll have to read this delightful tale to find out what. Alyssa A. Lappen

Wouldn't recommend it.......2001-12-16

I was really excited about reading the Book of Coupons. It had a cute premise about a teacher giving away coupons to teach kids about the really important lessons of life-- like not taking yourself too seriously, etc. But the plot never went anywhere. The kids never learned anything. The characters were never developed, and I felt I had wasted my time reading this book. At least it was short!
