The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America by Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt is now free.

http://www.deliberatedumbingdown.com/MomsPDFs/DDDoA.sml.pdf
Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt, former Senior Policy Advisor in the U.S. Department of Education, blew the whistle in the `80s on government activities withheld from the public. Her inside knowledge will help you protect your children from controversial methods and programs. In this book you will discover:
-how good teachers across America have been forced to use controversial, non-academic methods
-how “school choice” is being used to further dangerous reform goals, and how homeschooling and private education are especially vulnerable.
-how the international, national, regional, state and local agendas for education reform are all interconnected and have been for decades.

Double Celebration for Rosie Boom

An email from Rosie Boom

Hello everyone!

I’m emailing to let people know that my latest book, Where the Crickets Sing, has just been published! For more information and to buy the book you can look on my website www.rosieboom.com

Where the Crickets Sing

 

The other cause for celebration is that I have finally published both Where Lions Roar at Night and Where Arrows Fly as ebooks on the internet! It’s been a huge process and a steep learning curve for me, but I feel an equally big thrill at having finally accomplished it. J

 

Now I’m asking a favour from my readers and friends! I need some people who are willing to go to Smashwords and write a review about the books . It doesn’t have to be long at all – just a few enthusiastic, glowing words –  but if I get a few (hopefully lots of!) reviews happening, immediately it will bump the books higher up on the huge list of ebooks available! It would be the best thing ever you could do to help me!! I’m hoping that the ebook will mean that families all over the world can enjoy my books – but first they have to know that it even exists. J

If you would like to do this, click on the link below. It will take you to Where Lions Roar at Night. You have to enrol in Smashwords before you can write a review, but all that takes is entering your email address and choosing a password. Eazy peazy. J

http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/161360

Also, for those of you who know folk overseas, it would be wonderful if you could let them know about the free download available. Where Lions Roar at Night is  free for the next two weeks. And if any of you belong to home-schooling loops etc, it would be amazing if you could send them the link and encourage them to download the book.

Thanks so much folks! I always feel tentative about asking busy people to do something like this, but I really need to or it’s just going to sit hidden amongst all the other ebooks.

Thank you so much!!!!

Love,

Rosie
