Review:Todd puts it simply. The teacher sets the agenda. If they care the classroom will be a place of caring. This gives us permission to care and justifies what educators feel in their hearts. This book is very easy to read and full of take home or take to the classroom advice. Read more

Review:The book shipped so fast and in great condition! It even came with the text disk which I didn't expect so it was a nice bonus. The pages are not torn or written on, I couldn't be happier with the purchase. Read more

Review:I can't imagine anyone actually able to implement this approach in a real life situation. It makes pretty broad-brushed assumptions that any student would regularly be self-motivated to study 12 hours a day. I just don't buy it. My kids LOVE to play video games and would do so 12 hours a day, but I can't picture them at 13 and 16 studying what I consider important for that many hours each day without prompting and accountability.

There are so many other factors that play into learning.... Read more

Review:This book will really touch the heart and you will realize that there is alot of crazy people in this world. Some of the things that parents can do to their innocent children is simply distasteful. You will be shocked at stories of children starving to death and a kid being thrown out of a 23 story building. Along with all of the stories of thing happen to the children you will see the emotional effect it has on the Child Service members. They do their best to try and make a reasonable d... Read more

Review:Very difficult to find anything unless you don't mind going from page 1 until you stumble across what your looking for. Example. I have no idea
how long it took me to find information on camera use. I believe when you have a poor user and a poor user guide all you have is frustration! Read more

Review:I recently read two books on the topic of learning: How We Learn by Benedict Carey (published in 2014) and Learn Better, by Ulrich Boser (published in 2017). Both books focus on techniques that have been shown through scientific experiments to improve a person’s ability to learn or remember new things. This is essentially a review and comparison of both books.

Both are good, and well-written. There is some overlap between them, and interestingly, they disagree with one another on a few... Read more

Review:I bought this book when my baby was born, excited to give her a great start in physical and mental development. I was greatly dissapointed, however. I have since done a lot of research about baby development, and learned about the Feldenkrais Method. I read Anat Baniel's book Kids Beyond Limits: The Anat Baniel Method for Awakening the Brain and Transforming the Life of Your Child With Special Needs and ca... Read more
