Enseignants et enseignantes

Autor: David Harvengt , Jeffrey Denis

Número de Páginas: 412

Tous les enseignants et les enseignantes du Québec vivent quotidiennement le risque d’être poursuivis pour des voies de fait et des attouchements sexuels. Cela revient à pratiquer sa profession avec une épée de Damoclès au-dessus de sa tête. L’enseignant Henri Fournier était affectueux avec ses élèves du primaire. Il a été accusé pour attouchements sexuels. Il a été acquitté, mais fut incapable de revenir à l’enseignement. L’enseignante Hélène Guimont a touché l’épaule d’un élève pour l’interpeller. Elle a été déclarée innocente. Le juge a néanmoins considéré le geste fautif. Des centaines d’enseignants et d’enseignantes ont dû se défendre seuls devant les tribunaux. Les médias présentent les enseignants inculpés comme de véritables prédateurs. Les commissions scolaires sont promptes à porter des accusations, faisant fi de la présomption d’innocence. Elles ne voudraient pas être du mauvais côté de la morale publique. Sacrifier un enseignant leur semble préférable, même si les preuves tiennent sur peu de choses. Ce livre présente l’état de la situation. Il porte un regard sévère sur le manque d’humanité dans...

Jonathan Dee, " l'un des meilleurs décrypteurs de l'Amérique contemporaine ", livre un roman magistral sur la middle class et ses désillusions. Captivant et terriblement actuel. Howland, petite ville du Massachusetts, attire de nombreux riches vacanciers venus de New York. Mark, lui, fait partie des locaux. Entrepreneur en bâtiment, il peine à joindre les deux bouts depuis un placement hasardeux. Lorsque Philip Hadi, un richissime gestionnaire de fonds d'investissement, s'installe dans la maison d'à côté, cela ne se fait pas sans heurt. Le quotidien de Mark et de sa famille se transforme lentement... Quand Hadi se lance en politique et devient maire de Howland, modelant par petites touches la ville à son image, le fossé se creuse encore un peu entre le New-Yorkais et les habitants de la petite ville. Réussissant à capter un moment d'histoire, Ceux d'ici met en lumière les défis auxquels sont confrontés les États-Unis aujourd'hui : les inégalités toujours plus fortes, la paupérisation des classes moyennes et la montée d'un nouvel autoritarisme. Surtout, c'est la fin du rêve américain que Jonathan Dee analyse et met en scène de main de maître. Un roman social ...

"The arc of [Elliott's] career remains unique and inspiring . . . that he blazed a trail for Arrested Development and Community and all the other freaky, convention- outing TV comedies."—Grantland

Make Your Move

Make Your Move

Modern romance is broken. It's time to flip the script. Apps have transformed dating from a mysterious adventure into a daily chore. Young, single, college-educated women are sick and tired of competing for a shrinking supply of guys. And marriage-material men, long expected to take the lead when it comes to asking women out, are suddenly balking at making the first move, fearing they'll come across as creepy or inappropriate. Society is changing, which means it's time for dating to evolve. Millennial and Gen Z women are more than capable of seeking out what—and who—they want. They're standouts in the classroom and champions on the playing fields. They're leaders in the workplace and trailblazers in city halls, state houses, and Congress. So why would we tell a generation of badass women that they're not allowed to be bold when it comes to finding love? Why should they have to sit back and wait (and wait and wait) for men to find them? In Make Your Move: The New Science of Dating and Why Women Are in Charge, Jon Birger, author of Date-onomics, offers women bold new strategies for finding the one. Backed by research showing that women can win at romance by making the first move ...

Neue geistreiche Kolumnen von Deutschlands spitzester Zunge Der vielfach preisgekrönte Kolumnist Harald Martenstein ist immer eigensinnig, geistreich und unterhaltsam. Sein liebstes Werkzeug ist der gesunde Menschenverstand, sein Feindbild sind Nörgler, Besserwisser und Dogmatiker. Angst, sich unbeliebt zu machen, hat er nicht. Der neue Band enthält eine Auswahl der besten Kolumnen aus der Wochenzeitung DIE ZEIT. Martenstein schreibt über die Bundesjugendspiele, das Seepferdchen-Schwimmabzeichen oder eine Kreuzfahrt ebenso pointiert wie über die abendliche Ankunft am Berliner Hauptstadtflughafen oder den Versuch, Freunde zum Essen einzuladen, obwohl man kein bisschen kochen kann. Besonders gern nimmt er die Verwirrungen von Cancel Culture, Wokeness und politischer Korrektheit aufs Korn. »Hören Sie bitte nicht auf, sich über das Gendern lustig zu machen« ist der häufigste Satz, den Harald Martenstein von seinen Leserinnen und Lesern hört.

Cosa succede quando un broker di New York e la sua famiglia piombano in una tranquilla cittadina di provincia? Howland, Massachusetts. Mark Firth è un imprenditore edile con grandi ambizioni ma scarsa competenza negli affari, tanto da aver affidato tutti i suoi risparmi a un truffatore; lo sa bene sua moglie Karen, preoccupata per l’istruzione della figlia: sarebbe davvero oltraggioso per lei se la piccola dovesse ritrovarsi nei pericolosi bassifondi della scuola pubblica. Il fratello di Mark, nonché suo eterno rivale, è un agente immobiliare che ha mollato la precedente fidanzata sull’altare e ha una relazione con la telefonista della sua agenzia. C’è poi Candace, la sorella, che è insegnante alla scuola pubblica locale e coltiva una storia clandestina con il padre di una delle sue allieve... Gli abitanti della cittadina sono tutti accomunati dalla diffidenza nei confronti dei turisti della domenica, abitanti della grande metropoli che possono permettersi una seconda casa in provincia: gente disposta a spendere cinque dollari per un pomodoro, perché ignora il valore di un pomodoro quanto quello di cinque dollari. Sarà proprio uno di loro a far precipitare il fragile...
