| Description: |
This is John Holt's first book, based on his observations of children in class. He analyses the strategies children use to meet or dodge the demands which the adult world makes on them, the effect of fear and failure on children, the distinction between real and apparent learning and the ways in which schools fail to meet the needs of children. Although it was written forty years ago, it is still distressingly relevant |
