<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Since its first publication in 1964, this book has helped two generations of parents and teachers understand what actually happens in the classroom. Holt's astute observation of children, his clear simple style, and his lifelong conviction that we can do better by our children make How Children Fail an enduring classic.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>First published in the mid 1960s, <i>How Children Fail </i>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 <i>How Children Fail</i> and its companion volume, <i>How Children Learn, </i> enduring classics.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>John Holt</b> (1927-1985), one of this country's leading educational and social critics, was the author of ten influential books which have been translated into fourteen languages.
