Large segments of the American public school system have been failing for decades, and the pace of failure is accelerating - thanks largely to the entrenched education establishment and teacher unions. This book provides a panoramic view of these failures, as well as an analysis of the failed attempts to improve public education. The author brings to bear his extensive experiences within the government school system to expose how public education, for millions of students, has been a failure by every meaningful measure. Achievement, as measured by test scores, has been stagnant for years. The student dropout rate remains shockingly high. Many high school graduates are not prepared either for continuing education or meaningful employment. Hordes of unassimilated immigrants are clogging the education process for many of their classmates. Student misbehavior continues unabated.

All of the politically correct and conventional attempts to save the failing public schools have failed. Dumping more money on problems seems to create more problems. Federal "aid" has been unproductive and inserted the federal government further into public education without any constitutional authority. The constant increases in teacher salaries based on the universal "salary grid" have had no positive impact on student learning.

The story’s unlikely heroine is Catherine Morland, a remarkably innocent seventeen-year-old woman from a country parsonage. While spending a few weeks in Bath with a family friend, Catherine meets and falls in love with Henry Tilney, who invites her to visit his family estate, Northanger Abbey. Once there, Catherine, a great reader of Gothic thrillers, lets the shadowy atmosphere of the old mansion fill her mind with terrible suspicions. What is the mystery surrounding the death of Henry’s mother? Is the family concealing a terrible secret within the elegant rooms of the Abbey? Can she trust Henry, or is he part of an evil conspiracy? Catherine finds dreadful portents in the most prosaic events, until Henry persuades her to see the peril in confusing life with art. Executed with high-spirited gusto, Northanger Abbey is the most lighthearted of Jane Austen’s novels, yet at its core this delightful novel is a serious, unsentimental commentary on love and marriage..

It is a real story. It is the life of a Kurdish man (Saimon Hassan Ali) who suffered discrimination and unfair treatment in his life due to his ethnicity and his political beliefs. Saimon Hassan Ali has now been living in the UK for nearly two years as an asylum seeker. All his supports have been terminated by the Home Office for about a year and a half because his application for asylum was turned down. During this period of time he has not been employed. This book shows how Saddam Hussain and his regime with his oppressive apparatus persecuted and harassed his own people. Under that rule so many people were compelled to leave their home and become refugees in other countries. Also this book shows how Saimon Hassan Ali spent most of his sad life under the rule of that regime.
