Product Description
Review
Why is our current school system failing so many children? How can we best educate the next generation to face the challenges of the 21st century? Professor Claxton provides a masterly analysis of what's wrong with education and how we can put it right. Every parent, teacher, and politician should read this book. --Sue Palmer - Author of Toxic Childhood
With a focus on the demands of a new century, the information revolution, and the need to help young people find their own learning powers and passions, Guy Claxton reveals the true essence of education. Enjoy the book and remember the point of school: to open hearts and unlock minds. --Mick Waters - Director of Curriculum, UK Qualification and Curriculum Authority
A highly readable and provocative book, which both confronts and challenges us to seriously re-think current assumptions about educational practice. Claxton is one of the most relevant educational writers for our time. --Clarissa Williams - President of the National Association of Head Teachers
