egarded as being economically and politically stable, Sweden as one of the North European countries through the overall human mangement personal number system is considered a perfect nordic model. Regardless of the Swedish financial stability, the government during the last two terms (2014-2018 & 2018-2022) was then confronted to the unemployment and security problems. By being aware of these issues for many years, these remain the focal priorities for the Modarates. For an extended bright future, this political party shows the greatest interest in being present, ready and dedicated, at the 2022 votes, and for being elected on behalf of Swedes for these problems to be solved from today onwards. Once Moderates in power in 2022, people and corporate taxes will be lowered once again and with better prerequisite of effective safety. For increasing employment, security and economic growth, voters (natives and foreigners) may make the right choice in casting a vote for the Moderate party on Sunday, September 11, 2022.
Bank Street College of Education professor Salvatore Vascellaro is a leading advocate of taking children and teachers into a wider world as the key to improving our struggling schools.

Vascellaro shows, equally, that what teachers can offer children is fueled by their own enga...
This is the story of Judith Dent, a girl growing up in the middle of the last century, completely blind as well as autistic, at a time when few people had even heard of autism. Judy, in her own words, was a child who could lie on the floor and scream until she turned blue from the sheer desperation of realizing she was different, not only from sighted children, but from other blind children. Her familyincluding a mother suffering from paranoid schizophreniawas unequipped and overwhelmed. Schools had no idea how to deal with her. How is it possible that Judith survived her early years, multiple suicide attempts and hospitalizations, finally achieving successas a woman and wife living in her own home and as a PhD graduate? She lacked sight, but she brought to her writings here an extraordinary eye and memory for detail that make it almost possible for the reader to experience her world and understand how she did it.
