Educating Angels: Teaching for the Pursuit of Happiness (Our National Conversation) by Tony Armstrong Ph.D reminds us that while we say to our children each is a gift and gifted, we then send them to a schools that seem to want to drill that uniqueness out of them. It asks are we really valuing our babies highly if we neglect their inner directions and personal aspirations? A success story for most of us today is not a student who excels in the classroom, but a garage shop entrepreneur who is often a dropout. What happens when we look at students as individuals and not just a standard cog?
This is a very interesting book and one I think a lot of parents and teachers need to read. Thanks to standardized tests and a myriad of similar things, we do seem to forget that students should be treated as individuals. Creativity should be encouraged and everyone learns differently. This book lays out some very interesting and, I feel, accurate facts for further thought. The book is well written and you can tell that by Tony Armstrong is very passionate about the subject and spent a lot of time formulating what he was going to say. If you want a fresh look at how education could be improved, I recommend you read this book. We do need to change the way we are teaching our children and this book does not shy away from pointing out just how we can change things.
