Description
One reviewer said: "This will help and interest and delight anyone who has any kind of opinion on the education system. Even if you think it’s brilliant and effective I’m sure there will be interesting insights into how it isn’t effective for all. Most importantly though, it is a book that could help countless people. It helped me. I went through HELL in school. Funny, maybe, because I wasn’t bad at school, but I constantly felt belittled and trodden on and had my self-confidence (metaphorically) beaten out of me by some (not all) teachers."
