Rethinking School – How to Take Charge of Your Child`s Education

Autor Susan Wise Bauer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 feb 2019
Our K-12 school system isn't a good fit for all--or even most--students. It prioritizes a single way of understanding the world over all others, pushes children into a rigid set of grades with little regard for individual maturity, and slaps "disability" labels on differences in learning style. Caught in this system, far too many young learners end up discouraged.
This informed, compassionate, and practical guidebook will show you how to take control of your child's K-12 experience and negotiate the school system in a way that nurtures your child's mind, emotions, and spirit.
  • Understand why we have twelve grades, and why we match them to ages.
  • Evaluate your child's maturity, and determine how to use that knowledge to your advantage.
  • Find out what subject areas we study in school, why they exist--and how to tinker with them.
  • Discover what learning disabilities and intellectual giftedness are, how they can overlap, how to recognize them, and how those labels can help (or hinder) you.
  • Work effectively with your child's teachers, tutors, and coaches.
  • Learn to teach important subjects yourself.
  • Challenge accepted ideas about homework and standardized testing.
  • Help your child develop a vision for the future.
  • Reclaim your families' priorities (including time for eating together, playing, imagining, traveling, and, yes, sleeping ).
  • Plan for college--or apprenticeships.
  • Consider out-of-the-box alternatives.

Descriere

A best-selling expert on education shows how to make the school system work for your child.

With boldness, experience and humour, Susan Wise Bauer turns conventional wisdom on its head: When a serious problem arises at school, the fault is more likely to lie with the school, or the educational system itself, than with the child. In five illuminating sections, Bauer closely analyses the traditional school structure, gives trenchant criticisms of its weaknesses and offers a wealth of advice for parents of children whose difficulties may stem from struggling with learning differences, maturity differences, toxic classroom environments and even from giftedness. As the author of the classic book on home-schooling, The Well-Trained Mind, Bauer knows how children learn and how schools work. Her advice here is comprehensive and anecdotal, including material drawn from experience with her own four children and more than twenty years of educational consulting and university teaching.
