John Holt - How Children Fail - Penguin Pelican Paperback 1969 -

Product Description

First published in the mid 1960s, How Children Fail began an education reform movement that continues today. John Holt added new insights into how children investigate the world, into the perennial problems of classroom learning, grading, testing, and into the role of the trust and authority in every learning situation. His understanding of children, the clarity of his thought, and his deep affection for children have made both How Children Fail an enduring classics. Holt spent much of his time as a young teacher observing some children struggling with Maths , and his observations and analysis into how children cope is insightful and provocative. Originally published in 1965.
