The Farmer Family Album is a wedding of fiction and non-fiction that will bring you into the world of the Donkey Dan radio show that spanned four years of Sunday morning broadcasts. The Farmer family is a family of mixed cartoon animals who blend together science, fantasy, family, humor and a bit of religion. Even though the characters are fictional they are taken from our real family, friends, and pets. One of the most loved characters on the radio show was Tremor who appeared in nearly all of our stories. The Farmer Family album stories are based on some of the actual life moments of our family. The story about the donkey that believed God though mostly fictional has a very biblical ending to it. This can be found in the Old Testament book of Judges Chapter 15, verses 15, 16, and 17. In the Farmer Family album learn how the Donkey Dan show happened. Also check out if Tremor gets caught by Bonkers. Then find out about Gods creatures and how some of them do help us survive.

Troublemaker

A Personal History of School Reform since Sputnik

By: Chester E. Finn, Jr.

Few people have been more involved in shaping postwar U.S. education reforms--or dissented from some of them more effectively--than Chester Finn. Assistant secretary of education under Ronald Reagan, and an aide to politicians as different as Richard Nixon and Daniel Moynihan, Finn has also been a high school teacher, an education professor, a prolific and best-selling writer, a think-tank analyst, a nonprofit foundation president, and both a Democrat and Republican. This remarkably varied career has given him an extraordinary insider's view of every significant school-reform movement of the past four decades, from racial integration to No Child Left Behind. In Troublemaker, Finn has written a vivid history of postwar education reform that is also the personal story of one of the foremost players--and mavericks--in American education. Finn tells how his experiences have shaped his changing views of the three major strands of postwar school reform: standards-driven, choice-driven, and profession-driven. Of the three, Finn now believes that a combination of choice and standards has the greatest potential, but he favors this approach more on pragmatic than ideological grounds, arguing that parents should be given more options at the same time that schools are allowed more flexibility and held to higher performance norms. He also explains why education reforms of all kinds are so difficult to implement, and he draws valuable lessons from their frequent failure. Clear-eyed yet optimistic, Finn ultimately gives grounds for hope that the best of today's bold initiatives--from charter schools to technology to makeovers of school-system governance--are finally beginning to make a difference.
