Book Description

28 July 2008

Phil Beadle is a former rock musician, the winner of the Secondary Teacher of the Year Award 2005, and the inspirational teacher who wowed the nation with his unorthodox teaching methods in Channel 4 series THE UNTEACHABLES. There, his bizarre but effective approach to teaching English included Punctuation Kung-Fu, and reciting Macbeth to a field of cows. Through techniques such as these Beadle seemingly achieved the impossible by successfully drawing out the desire to learn from a group of failing pupils.

Now his focus is on spreading the word to parents: every child has the ability to learn, and to do better at school. In this book he tells parents that there is no such thing as a stupid child, only boring lessons. Intelligent, unconventional, humorous and inspirational, this hands-on guide blends personal anecdotes with the nitty gritty of how to best unlock your children's unique intelligence, and how to ensure they have the best possible chance to succeed at school.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't do any better! 27 Sep 2007
Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book, written by a brilliant teacher. I read it as a parent and a teacher and was extremely impressed by Phil Beadle's style, approach and outlook. It is a truly fantastic book giving excellent help and guidance to parents. The education system is changing at such a rapid rate and let's face it we are all just trying to do the best by our children. Many thanks should go to Phil Beadle!

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing read with good practical ideas. 7 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
Best teaching book I've read in a while - loads of good ideas for parents and teachers. A slight drawback is some of the information pertains only to the English system, but it's just a small part of the book and the advice is still relevant. Made me laugh in places, which is unusual when reading something educational and I'm now paranoid about where to put commas!

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting it right 18 Feb 2008
Format:Paperback
How can Phil lose? As soon as kids know he's a former rock musician, he's on his way. Who better than someone with the highest street- cred and `teacher of the year' to offer guidance to parents?

We know that whilst parents are the most important influence on a child's development, getting it right at school is almost equally important. Phil gets it just right with his wealth of experience, great writing style and sense of humour.

So, learn to help them at home, and help them at school!
