Coloring Outside the Lines: Raising a Smarter Kid by Breaking All the Rules

Schank shatters the myths about how children learn & offers advice for parents who want to raise kids with gumption, ambition, creativity, inquisitiveness, & analytic & verbal proficiency -- the six traits of practical intelligence that kids need, not simply to get good grades, but to succeed in life. Known for his provocative & trendsetting views on education, Schank, who is also a parent, bases his approach on decades of cutting-edge research. See the world through the eyes of your children, he says, & stand up for them; don't always assume the teacher is right. You want a kid who does well in life, finds his or her true passions, & is willing to innovate & take risks.Roger C.
