About this title

Review:

"I love this book. It delivers a vital message of hope that is desperately needed by millions of students and parents around the world. Those are the millions who are stupidly and wrongly condemned to fail at school whey they can just as easily succeed." Gordon Dryden, co-author of "The Learning Revolution "
