Description
First published in the mid 1960s, How Children Fail challenged traditional approaches to education and sparked a reform movement that continues to influence teaching today.
John Holt's 1982 edition added new insights into how children learn, the problems of classroom learning, and the role of authority in the learning process.
With its clear and compassionate understanding of children, this book remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in child development and education.
