Downhill from Here: Retirement Insecurity in the Age… por Katherine S. Newman

Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.

I had a very difficult time reading this book. It piointed out many of the flaws in our system of caring for our retirees using case studies that were upsetting but did not offer any solutions either personal or societal.

Reskilling America: Learning to Labor in the… por Katherine S. Newman

Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.

Another negative book review from me. For Reskilling America: Learning to Labor in the Twenty-first Century by Katherine S. Newman and Hella Winston, the problem is not a lack of research, but rather that the book, like American society in general, has no real way to grapple with the fact that some kids aren’t as smart as others. Any vocational ed program in the United States is going to have a problem with averages that we aren’t capable of resolving.

Freddie deBoer or Paige Harden will be happy to point out why this is so. If that isn’t enough, consider that someone who writes a book like No, You Can’t Be an Astronaut that does attempt to grapple with this in a constructive way, does so under a pseudonym.

Until something big changes, vocational education programs will keep getting proposed, and keep dying for this big, but largely unacknowledged reason. All of the carefully assembled research cited in this volume means nothing until that happens.

I received a free copy of this book through LibraryThing’s Early Reviewers program.… (más)

Reskilling America: Learning to Labor in the… por Katherine S. Newman

Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.

Interesting and informative book that tackles the impending youth underskilling and underemployment crisis looming. I don't know that I'm convinced that the cultural and policy shifts necessary are politically realistic, but the book is very persuasive of the problem and the need for some way to address it.

I got "Downhill From Here: Retirement Insecurity in the Age of Inequality" by Katherine S. Newman as a gag gift for my parents who will be retiring in the next ten years or so. Turns out it is pretty good and is not so much of a gag gift after all.
