"The Unteachables examines the overrepresentation of Black students in special education over the course of the twentieth century. Excavating the deep-seated racism embedded in both the public school system and public policy, it explores the discriminatory labeling of Black students, and how it indelibly contributed to special education disproportionality, to student discipline and push-out practices, and to the school-to-prison pipeline effect"-- Provided by publisher
Have you ever tried to imagine how it would be if the Universe were infinite in size? Have you ever wondered how an electron can be in two places at the same time and travel backwards and forwards through time? Ever puzzled over exactly what it is that time could be? How long is 'now' and where does it go to once it has passed? Ever wondered if it is possible to construct a time machine, and what the consequences of time travel would be? Why is it that we cannot travel faster than the speed of light? Do the laws of mathematics work the same across the entire Universe? Did we really go to the Moon? What are UFO's? Is there extra terrestrial life? Does God exist? Why are we here? How was the Universe created? Is there life after death? There are many questions, and they can be neatly summed upsimply by asking 'What is the meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything'. Keith Mayes has spent a lifetime wondering about such things and has developed a style of explaining even the most complex subjects in an easy and entertaining manner in this interesting and thought provoking book.
