{"product_id":"literacy-with-an-attitude-educating-working-class-children-in-their-own-self-interest","title":"Literacy with an Attitude: Educating Working-Class Children in Their Own Self-Interest","description":"A comprehensive update of the classic study that delivers both a passionate plea and strategies for teachers, parents, and community organizers to give working-class children the same type of empowering education and powerful literacy skills that the children of upper- and middle-class people receive.\n\nWinner of the 2010 Critics Choice Award presented by the American Educational Studies Association\n\nThe classic, indispensable guide for teachers, parents, and community organizers concerned with educating working-class children, Literacy with an Attitude dares to define literacy as a powerful right of citizenship. Patrick J. Finn persuasively debunks the time-honored paradigm for teaching poor and working-class students. Our job, he argues, is not to help such students to become middle class and live middle-class lives-most don't want it. Education rather should focus on a powerful literacy-a literacy with an attitude-that enables working-class and poor students to better understand, demand, and protect their civil, political, and social rights.\n\nThis tenth-anniversary, second edition features eight new chapters and a revised and updated original text.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1438428065\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1438428065.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Finn, Patrick J.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
