Great text for high school students
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book is the text you wish you had in high school. It takes on the legal issues that have shaped our society through the eyes of the high school student. The author suceeds in distilling the facts and spirit of these historic moments in an accessible and non-condescending manner. I have enjoyed exploring this book with my kids.A real teaching tool, effective despite its modest size.
In their own words
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
As a journalism teacher, I've been piecing together parts of Supreme Court cases for years. The words of the justices form the core of free speech law and students need to read the cases to truly understand their rights. The problem, however, was that much of the writing, thick with legalese and sidetracks, was beyond the grasp of most students. Raskin has changed that by editing the cases down to their essential arguments and introducing them in a way that students can understand. Well done.
A Breakthrough Work for High School Students
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a spectacular book. It puts together the most important cases the Supreme Court ever handed down about high school students and analyzes what they mean for high school students on an everyday basis. As a college freshman, I wish that I had had access to We the Students for the last four years when I really needed it! The book also has some really amazing photos of the high school students that were in the cases, which makes the text come alive. This new approach to teaching the Constitution-through cases that ffect us directly as students-truly surpasses the boredom that arises in more conventional methods of teaching law. Great book! Looking forward to sequel for college students...
