First published in the mid 1960s, How Children Fail began an education reform movement that continues today. In his 1982 edition, John Holt added new insights into how children investigate the world, into the perennial problems of classroom learning, grading, testing, and into the role of the trust and authority in every learning situation. His understanding of children, the clarity of his thought, and his deep affection for children have made both How Children Fail and its companion volume, How Children Learn, enduring classics.

Powerful stuff.
I wanted to learn more about the ideas underpinning the idea ofv 'unschooling'. John Holts observations and thoughts on how smart children are, and how we/the education system conditions them to feel/believe anything but rang true to me. Great, accessible read. As a relatively new father, I'm glad I read this book.

Vital reading if you send or plan to send your children to school.
An eye opener. Everything in it makes sense and I didn't realise until my 4th child struggled with the school system. I now know why!
