{"product_id":"2940154599273","title":"Edge-U-cation","description":"\u003cp\u003eDan Propp has some opinions about the education system for school teachers. He should know. He spent twenty-three years as a “chalk holder”. Stick would-be educators into a university and don’t let them really teach until they have five years of theory. Towards the end, provide a few short practicums for a bit of public relations window dressing. Charge a fortune for texts (that often change every couple years to improve “marketing”), provide wonderful rubber chicken fast-food cafeterias, all the high-end coffee franchises to improve the perks, and out-of-this-world fees for the privilege working for that degree. And what a useful education degree it becomes! Dan says, “Many teachers are tired being social workers and day care activity providers. Our field is teaching, not field trips.” He has a lot more to say about the education world, and he says it with his characteristic, quirky wit and a lick of biting sarcasm. Be prepared for an overdose of peculiar puns in this book that takes a piercing look at education today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Propp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114628497648,"sku":"2940154599273","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940154599273_p0.jpg?v=1764072111","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940154599273","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
