Product Description
Practicing Virtues is about learning to be good in the distinct moral worlds of Quaker and military boarding schools. Both types of schools bind their communities with shared codes of conduct, the military schools' conservative tradition emphasizing discipline and hard work, the Quaker schools' liberal tradition favoring tolerance and togetherness. At the heart of this contrast are two sets of virtues: pride, loyalty, and leadership among the cadets; simplicity, equality, and concern among the students at Quaker schools.During the course of a year Kim Hays lived in six schools, attending classes and staff meetings, sharing meals and informal conversation, and participating in the nonacademic side of boarding-school life.Despite the outward contrast between the Quaker and military settings, Hays found surprising similarities. Both systems cherish individualism while encouraging group identification and service to the school community. Hays shows that orderliness, obedience, and harmony do not in themselves create a vital moral environment. To reach that goal, teachers, students, and administrators need to disagree, question rules, and fight for change.This book has much to say about the role of education in developing moral responsibility. Every educator, student, and parent who cares about the future of American schooling will find valuable lessons here. ... Read more

Curious Juxtapositions
While I know very little about Quaker boarding schools, I have been studying the traditional boys private boarding military school (middle and high school level) in the U.S. for the past ten years. Very few of myfindings or conclusions agree with anything I find in this book.I believethe author probably understands Quaker schools far better than militaryschools.A curious study, but not recommended

A penetrating book.
While academic in nature, this book is a facinating comparison between two very different-seeming places.It is well written and very understandable, while still raising very interesting points of view. ... Read more

Kennedy High School is a secondary school located in Richmond, California, as part of the West Contra Costa Unified School District. The school's mascot is the Bald Eagle, the school's athletic teams are known as the "Eagles," and the school colors are red and white. The current principal as of 2008 is Ms. Latoya Bernice Williams. There are approximately 1,047 students attending the school. John F. Kennedy High School will strive to create an environment in which students feel valued, develop their unique abilities, achieve academic excellence, explore personal, academic and career paths, and acquire skills that will help them achieve success and personal fulfillment. John F. Kennedy High Schools develops education from the premise that: John F. Kennedy High School was designed to be a comprehensive school, including programs that continually assess the needs of community and engage students accordingly. The location, lighting, furniture, team-teaching design, absence of distraction (windows, noisy halls, etc.), modular flexible scheduling, and a diverse faculty were staples to the campus. JFKs architecture reflected both the openness and security demanded in the era of free speech and burning cities. In 1967 and 1968, the greater Richmond community passed bonds specifically for a high school to be named after the assassination of the much admired and inspirational president, John F. Kennedy. Built on the site of Granada Junior High, Kennedy adopted the red and white colors and Eagle mascot from Harry Ells High School, slated for closure once JFK was ready. Kennedy first opened its doors in September 1967; the school quickly gained acclaim for its state-of-the-art academic and vocational programs. Kennedy became the flagship of the ...

It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A772113. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: This thesis defines and supports five recommendations for Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) to promote its distance education program. The research and interviews in this study were primarily done to find the current barriers and requirements needed to conduct distance education on a larger scale. The research began with defining the Department Chairmen's concerns with distance education at NPS. Each recommendation, developed from the concerns is supported by interviews with Department Chairmen, Educators, and Administrators as well as literary findings. Implementation requirements and benefits to both the DON and NPS are also provided for each recommendation. The first recommendation this thesis supports is for NPS to develop a mission and vision statement for distance education. The second is to establish a NPS Distance Education Support Center to centralize campus efforts in distance education. The third recommendation is to institute a NPS Distance Education Marketing Plan to find potential customers and increase distance education interest on campus. The fourth recommendation is for NPS to immediately determine the cost for distance education in order to request additional funding from DON. Finally, the study recommends NPS begin a pilot program as a model for future distance education for active duty officers in the fleet. The proposed pilot program presented in this study is with HSL-41, a LAMPS Mark-III Squadron. With these recommendations, this thesis looks to make NPS the 'Navy's Distance Education University.' This study concludes with a time-line for implementing these recommendations. ... Read more
