Book Description
Published with a new preface, this innovative case study from Nova Scotia analyzes the relationship between rural communities and contemporary education. Rather than supporting place-sensitive curricula and establishing networks within community populations, the rural school has too often stood apart from local life, with the generally unintended consequence that many educationally successful rural youth come to see their communities and lifestyles as places to be left behind. They face what Michael Corbett calls a mobility imperative, which, he shows, has been central to contemporary schooling. Learning to Leave argues that if education is to be democratic and serve the purpose of economic, social, and cultural development, then it must adapt and respond to the specificity of its locale, the knowledge practices of the people, and the needs of those who struggle to remain in challenged rural places.

Book Description
There are three truths of leaving a job, relationship, home, religion, or identity: Things will not go exactly as planned. It will utterly and completely be worth it. It will change your life in amazing ways. This first-of-its-kind book describes how we are beginning to understand the concept of leaving as an essential component of living. Clinical psychologist Jennifer P. Wisdom asserts that leaving is not the same as quitting, and moving on is not a sign of weakness. This unique book integrates psychology, literature, her experiences as a leaver, and interviews with more than 100 people to discuss leaving and staying. It provides a unique and comprehensive discussion of how and why we let go and move on. Having the courage to leave what's not working - and overcoming the fears that lead to unhealthy staying - can be the healthiest choice we can make.
