In this provocative and well-researched book, Alfie Kohn builds a powerful argument against ?teaching to the test? in favor of more child-centered curriculums to raise lifelong learners. Drawing on stories from real classrooms and extensive research, Kohn shows parents, educators, and others how schools can help students explore ideas rather than just fill them with forgettable facts and prepare them for standardized tests. Here, at last, is a book that challenges the two dominant forces in American education: an aggressive nostalgia for traditional teaching (?If it was bad enough for me, it?s bad enough for my kids?) and a heavy-handed push for ?tougher standards.?
