HOW ADULTS FAIL CHILDREN

How children fail? Sadly, in the hands of adults.

This book is like a jabbing boney finger to the official learning institution called school. But, it's more than that... because it would be useless to be just that. So, it also contains some way to save the institution as well.

Containing a heavy topic, this book is far from boring. Mostly because it is based on Holt's notes from his teaching days. So it is laid back and easy to read.

Sometimes, I do feel that Holt is overstating. But mostly, I agree with him.

My highlights in this book are about his students, how some of them got a special place in his heart... which probably one of the reasons he continued teaching.

It's still in editing process, soon out in Bahasa Indonesia.
