As I said in my last blog, I am a member of our school district’s high school task force searching out ways to make our school better. So I am trying to get this book read before our next meeting which is Monday, January 18th. This guy does a great job of writing research based information in a friendly format. I am really enjoying his findings and think they are very profitable especially as we guide our college-bound daughter in career choices. It is a bit denser, so I am not glued to it like I should be. And yes, I confess -- I started another book on the side which I said I wouldn’t do. But hey - everyone needs a bathroom book, right? So, I am simultaneously reading The Secret Life of Bees. LOVE IT! (More on that book at a later date.)
But if any of you out there are in education, I would highly recommend A Whole New Mind. For me, it is one big “Aha!” Finally, someone that sees education from my perspective. But then again, I am a right-brain directed thinker.
