Another decent, humane and edifying book from the late John Holt, whose voice is badly needed in today's educational debates. I have been hearing a lot about John Holt while trawling forums and websites about homeschooling, so I thought I might as well check him out. What Do I Do Monday? is the first book that became available at my local library, so this is the one I read first. Holt soundly condemns methods used in public schools at the time (methods that have improved very little since then!) and I found myself agreeing with the majority of his opinions. He doesn't just argue against these methods, though. He also provides some alternatives. This book is packed full of great ideas for helping (not making!) children to follow their natural learning inclinations. I particularly love the way he explained certain Maths concepts. Not being mathematically minded myself, this is perhaps the first time in my life that I have fully understood some of these concepts! This book is a must-read for anyone embarking on the homeschool journey, but I also recommend it to parents, grandparents, teachers and anyone else who cares for the children in their life. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"This intensely human and caring book is a testament to a life devoted to the possibilities inherent in every one of us. It is, as John Holt writes, 'a book for teachers, for parents, for children or friends of children, for anyone who cares about education. It is about learning and above all some of the ways in which, in school or out, we might help children learn better and perhaps learn better ourselves.' What Do I Do Monday? combines Mr. Holt's theories of education--the idea of learning as a growth process, a moving and expanding of the child into the world around him; a belief that we learn best when we feel the wholeness and openness of the world around us, and our own freedom and power and competence in it--with practical, easy-to-use ideas and exercises in reading, writing, and mathematics. By helping us to see the conditions necessary for learning, John Holt has also provided every parent and teacher with a way to begin to make the changes desperately needed in our schools and school systems."--Jacket.
