Turning Learning Right Side Up: Putting Education Back on Track
Turning Learning Right Side Up Puting Education Back on Track
by DanielGreenberg
See this book on Amazon »Madlyn wants to read this book
Comment: "My neighbor, founding member of the Sudbury Valley School has just published this book. I am especially interested in it, because I agree that we have not made sufficient changes in education, to handle the changes in our society. The proof is in the number of children being prescribed drugs like Ritalin to get through school and college.
We learned years ago that all children do not learn in the same way, yet we torture them , forcing them to learn the way we want them to learn, or fail them. Example: A bright child with ADHD, orADD, who can not concentrate, read, etc., can be taught by lectures, play acting, movies, and other visual means. Why would this child get homework based on reading and preparing pages to turn in, when the child has difficulty organizing, doing homework and turning in pages on time. That is what I mean about setting them up to fail! Genius existed before homework, and books!
We can not dumb down those that can not learn in our one way of teaching, then fail them in school and college....change has to come! There are many new ideas out there, we need to try. I look forward to reading Dan's book!

World's rarest car?

There is one unusual car that might be the world's rarest sport model. It is called the Horch, built as early as the 1900's by the founder of Audi cars, visit the website for information. Last year at Pebble Beach it took the prize. This car is probably one of 4 in the world. I will find the link for Pebble Beach and put it here for you, if you care to read more.
