How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character
Danny Says
I don’t usually include education books among my selections, as I try to make my picks appeal to as broad of an audience as possible (and, being an educator, I don’t want folks to think this is just an education-related site). I must commend Tough, though, on creating a book that challenges the powers-that-be to move from their obsession with testing kids to a model that emphasizes on teaching values in early childhood. This is a fascinating examination that adds a lot to our dialogue about positive education reform in America.
