Carried to the Wall

Aldrig Mera Skola
En röst i mitt huvud sa högt och tydligt: Gå hem. Gör det bara. Du behöver faktiskt inte sitta här. Gå. En dag får Zooey nog. Varför gå i skolan när internet är mycket bättre än alla lärare hon hittills haft? Men frågorna är många. Vad kommer hända med alla kompisar, som fortsätter träffas om dagarna fastän Zooey inte är där? Hur ska hon göra med matten, och med fotbollen? Kommer hon orka stå på sig, när hon står alldeles ensam? Mamma, rektorn och kuratorn alla försöker de få henne att ändra sig. Men Zooey är fast besluten om att aldrig återvända. Aldrig mera skola är en berättelse om att våga gå sin egen väg, men också om att bli osams med sin bästis och hur man faktiskt kan bli kär trots att man är säker på att det aldrig skulle ske.BTJ ger recensionen bra "[...] Att likt Zooey, lyssna till sin inre röst, stå upp för sig själv och välja vägar som känns rätt trots att normer och vuxna säger något annat, kan säkerligen ingjuta mod hos läsaren på väg in i tonårstiden."Lektör Sara Perlerot Göransson, BTJ-häfte 15, 2024.
Om Tilltal, Bildspråk Och Samhällssyn I Utbildningsprogrammen
De båda studierna i den här boken visar hur estetik och tilltal är nära sammankopplade med bilden av välfärdssamhällets utveckling och förändring. I den första studien, "Samhällsbyggarnas tv-undervisning. Estetik och ideologi i utbildningsprogram för televisionen", ställer Ann-Kristin Wallengren frågan hur ett programs form och estetik hänger ihop med samtidens samhällsbild och ideologier. Genom analyser av ett antal samhällskunskapsprogram för skolbarn visar hon hur samhällsprogrammen har gått från en ganska auktoritär estetik över mjukisprogram till fiktiva och berättande former där människor själva får komma till tals. I den andra studien, "Hos främlingar och grannar i öster. Om tilltal och samhällsbilder i några utbildningsprogram", granskar Cecilia Wadensjö program i samhällsvetenskap och historia om grannländerna i öst och visar hur tilltalet förändras, bort från barnet som passiv mottagare av kunskap till den aktivt väljande och medskapande lyssnaren.
