Riveting from the first page to the last, the style is engaging and illuminating. The anecdotes also corroborate my experience and just "feel" right. Sadly, it doesn’t seem as if the establishment has paid any attention to his observations: I know of no government school systems that devote any attention at all to the students other than telling them what & how we want them to absorb and ignoring their innate capacities for learning.

mostly read revisions, reading Holt makes me feel guilty and angry about my own children's education

An eye-opening book on how children learn in their environments and how they learn better and faster outside of schools. A must read for any homeschool family. ( )

Currently reading. Similar format to How Children Fail, Mr. Holt through memos to Mr. Hull describes how children learn. His strongest advice is to TRUST CHILDREN. ( )
