Paperback. Condition: Good. The successes of America's public schools are unrivaled throughout the globe providing an opportunity for every American to graduate from high school. Graduation rates have soared, test scores are better than at anytime, and immigrants and African Americans are reaching new successes. The percentage of graduating high school students including minorities attending college is at an all time high. Despite all these successes, the media, politicians, and big business attack public schools and their teachers with inaccuracies that threaten the equal opportunities provided by public education. Big business moguls seem determined to dismantle public schools in the name of a market driven system of educating children via vouchers and charter schools. No Child Left Behind contributes to this business-model and penalizes children and teachers with unrealistic expectations and expensive unnecessary testing. Research indicates that NCLB, charter schools, and vouchers do not improve students' learning or help educators teach better. The facts presented herein are evidence of public school successes and provide reasons to honor public school educators and support public schools across America.…

First Edition. 1st Printing. 511 pages. Nice Firm Clean copy ! Size: 8vo. Toponymic reference works-scholarly volumes dedicated to investigating the origins, meanings, linguistic roots, and historical evolution of geographical names in a specific county or region. Rather than reading like traditional narrative histories, these books function as specialized encyclopedias or gazetteers. They systematically analyze the names of towns, villages, hamlets, rivers, hills, field names, and street names. Etymology & Word Origins: They break down names into their root languages - primarily Old English, Old Norse (Viking), Brythonic Celtic, Latin (Roman), or Anglo-Norman-to reveal what a name originally meant. Historical Spelling Chronologies: They trace how a place name was written across centuries, citing early historical documents like the Domesday Book (1086), Anglo-Saxon charters, medieval court rolls, and parish registers. Settlement & Landscape Clues: They detail what the landscape looked like when humans first named it, identifying ancient vegetation, river crossings, marshes, clearing types, or the specific chieftain/landowner who held the area. Cultural & Demographic Patterns: They map out historical migrations and invasions based on regional naming conventions.
