Those who agree great minds think alike neither knew a great mind, nor possessed one. Take yours for example: a mind that invites new ideas and embraces challenges; that recognizes brilliance forging a unique path; that's eager to address the problems of the present by drawing upon the wisdom of the past.
Here you will study the thoughts and findings of the world's first scientists, composers, and philosophers, and gain a more holistic view of the world through their many lenses. By studying original sources, you will learn not only from the conclusions of these authors, but from their journey of discovery.
At Shimer, every class is a conversation. The entire curriculum follows the Socratic Method; because we know that active learning thrives in small-class discussions. Professors do not lecture from a podium. Rather, they sit with the students at the table, serving as facilitators, encouraging discussion and posing thought-provoking questions. They recognize that some of the greatest teachers you could ever learn from are the authors of books that have proven valuable to countless generations of thinkers.
Here you will find a community of those who question and seek deeper understanding - people who are not intimidated by controversy but invigorated by fresh perspectives; who see each other as fellow learners and teachers, each equipped with valuable insights and unique opinions. Within this community, you will complete a curriculum that covers both broad and specialized knowledge.
We arrange these inquiries into four majors: humanities, natural sciences, social sciences and liberal studies. Regardless of which major you choose you will take courses that span disciplines and learn to integrate questions and insights from multiple areas of classical liberal arts.

Children gain immense benefits from representationally diverse curricula that allow students to see themselves and others in complexity. Students are more engaged and increased engagement leads to improved academic outcomes like sharpened critical thinking skills, increases in standardized test scores, higher rates of course completion, graduation, and school attendance. Students reap non-academic benefits as well, including improved self-esteem, socioemotional well-being, empathy, and a greater appreciation for cultural differences.
This nation is experiencing a literacy crisis and historic drops in student achievement, and better representation in our classroom books will help all students achieve. The fact is that students of color learn and perform better when they see themselves and their experiences authentically and non-stereotypically reflected in their school curricula. Seeing a diverse set of people in books also helps White students to develop a deeper understanding about their own racial and ethnic identity and the world around them, which is filled with people of varying ethnicities and cultures. We need more books with accurate portrayals of people of color, not fewer.
At the beginning of the year we spend a lot of time talking about how to read a book, choosing books that interest us, and how to take good care of our books. These are some of my favorite must have books for back to school to kick off these important lessons and discussions!
These Math Start books are some of my favorite books for incorporating into math lessons! Each book focuses on a different skill. Have you used these books before? There are SO many great ones to use!

His memories of Pauline and the doing of a wild and forbidden thing excited him and a bolt of desire ran down his genitals, giving it length and softening the lips of his anus. Surrounding all of this lust was a border of politeness. He wanted to f*ck her tenderly, but the tenderness would not hold. The tightness of her vagina was more than he could bear.
Parents and taxpayers have a right to object to public schools spending tax dollars to purchase these kinds of books. The Motion Picture Association of America rates many movies R or even X, and no one accuses it of banning films. We currently have no rating system for the kinds of books removed from Florida school libraries, but we clearly need one. Until then, Republicans must not shy away from fighting this culture war. Next time you encounter a skeptic, ask him: Have you looked inside any of these books?
But when he starts talking about backpacks, he dips into a "back in my day" tone that makes you think of a creaky rocking chair and suspenders: "You know, Lee, when I was in school, no one had a backpack!
Since my first day of kindergarten in 1995, my JanSport and I were inseparable. It was a fluorescent green SuperBreak model. My dad wrote my name on the front with a Sharpie (he did his best to match the JanSport font).
Ah, yes, the book strap. An ingenious contraption. But really, just a leather belt. I doubt you've ever seen one in use, but you've almost certainly seen them in the movies. You wrapped the strap around your books and carried the bundle like a bag or threw it over your shoulder.
Gerry Cunningham, owner and creator of Gerry Outdoors in Boulder, Colo., is credited with the two biggest innovations that would, decades later, lead to the modern school backpack: the use of zippers and nylon for daypacks.
