Kudos to Barry Kislowicz for suggesting ways of putting the student at the center at home and in the classroom.
At the same time I would like to share my concern about the presentation of some parenting/teaching methods as cure-alls for child development ills.
The Amazon "teaser" [
www.amazon.com] promises:
<<
Some families are blessed with child after child who makes them proud.
Others seem to face challenges with their children at every turn.
What separates those who struggle from those who succeed?
>>
This appears to suggest that there are guaranteed methods of turning out perfect offspring (and students). Surely we know that there are no such guarantees, and that many families struggle with some of their children even as they are successful with others.
