The Tournament
by Rebecca BarrowThree girls with entangled pasts compete for glory in their private school&’s annual tournament, putting their survival skills and their relationships to the test, in this young adult thriller that&’s &“Shakespearean…stunning…dark academia at its finest&” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).Gardner isn&’t like other boarding schools. They take in those who&’ve been rejected everywhere else, they offer a survival skills class that has students killing and gutting animals, and then there&’s the Tournament. A competition available only to seven elite seniors, the Tournament is revered by the entire student body. They&’d do almost anything—including completing a series of grueling physical challenges—to win the champion&’s cup. And this year, three seniors make the Tournament more cutthroat than ever. Max, the ruthless scholarship student who can&’t afford any distractions, not even her ex best friend Nora&’s stupid confession of love at the end of last year that ruined everything between them. Nora, who always put herself on the sidelines so Max could have everything she wanted, but might just be ready for center stage now that Max has brutally excised herself from Nora&’s life. And Teddy, the transfer who&’s on her last chance and will chase any high that can pull her back from the gaping, dark void inside herself that&’s always threatening to pull her in. If one of them wants to win, then they can&’t let anything—or anybody—get in their way.

The Toxic Classroom: And What Can be Done About It
by Richard StewardThe Toxic Classroom offers a wide-ranging look at education today and explores in detail the pressures children experience as a result of constant change, digital technology and political interference. Beginning with what it is like to be a child in the classroom, the book goes on to provide a detailed analysis of the curriculum, assessment and accountability, school structures, educating for global citizenship and the plethora of social issues schools are now expected to solve. Written from the perspective of a successful headteacher with over 30 years' teaching experience, the book considers what needs to be done to put things right and outlines a more equitable and effective school system. Each chapter outlines the steps schools can implement immediately and the longer-term policy changes that are needed de-toxify the classroom and facilitate a genuine love of learning. Offering a challenging yet compelling argument for putting education back into the hands of teachers, this book will be of great interest both to the general reader and to those working within education such as teachers and professionals who wish to improve the ways in which children learn and develop.
The Toxic University: Zombie Leadership, Academic Rock Stars and Neoliberal Ideology (Palgrave Critical University Studies)
by John SmythThis book considers the detrimental changes that have occurred to the institution of the university, as a result of the withdrawal of state funding and the imposition of neoliberal market reforms on higher education. It argues that universities have lost their way, and are currently drowning in an impenetrable mush of economic babble, spurious spin-offs of zombie economics, management-speak and militaristic-corporate jargon. John Smyth provides a trenchant and excoriating analysis of how universities have enveloped themselves in synthetic and meaningless marketing hype, and explains what this has done to academic work and the culture of universities - specifically, how it has degraded higher education and exacerbated social inequalities among both staff and students. Finally, the book explores how we might commence a reclamation. It should be essential reading for students and researchers in the fields of education and sociology, and anyone interested in the current state of university management.

The Tragedy of American School Reform
by Ronald W. EvansTwo persistent dilemmas haunt school reform: curriculum politics and classroom constancy. Both undermined the 1960s' new social studies, a dynamic reform movement centered on inquiry, issues, and social activism. Dramatic academic freedom controversies ended reform and led to a conservative restoration. On one side were teachers and curriculum developers; on the other, conservative activists determined to undo the revolutions of the 1960s. The episode brought a return to traditional history, a turn away from questioning, and the re-imposition of authority. Engagingly written and thoroughly researched, The Tragedy of American School Reform offers a provocative perspective on current trends.
