{"product_id":"we-shant-get-home-tonight-laurel-lorraine-lancer-9781490790770","title":"We Shan't Get Home Tonight: Our Failing Education System","description":"Dr. Lancer uses an old folk tale \"The Old Woman and Her Pig\" as a metaphor for telling the numerous things that go wrong in the education system. The old woman (teachers) cannot get the Piggy (students) over the stile (the curriculum)t and so, \"We shan't Get Home Tonight\" is the book title. She explains the deficits in people and organisations in education, starting with kids, teachers, principals, and on up through the ranks and ending with U.S. Dept. of Education. All of the characters in the education system are likened to characters and entities in the old folk tale. She gives what would have been a solution to our problems by having more involvement in the system and then gives an ending telling of the societal changes that make the simpler \"more involvement\" invalid. We have a very complicated problem involving: immigration, over concern with tests, political correctness, gender problems, etc. that are new to education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurel Lorraine Lancer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1490790772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781490790770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trafford Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.32d","brand":"Laurel Lorraine Lancer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458792468735,"sku":"9781490790770","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a915972e-9321-42cc-ad85-f78efc33bce6.jpg?v=1777406649","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/we-shant-get-home-tonight-laurel-lorraine-lancer-9781490790770","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
