Title: How is this "Coloring"?
Product review: Roger Schank is a very opinionated writer and expresses his feelings and ideas quite clearly regarding the American academic system. He has some very good and valid points about raising a "smarter" child, deeming very beneficial to parents that are interested is enriching their child's life at home. I am very astounded by his chapter titled "What's Wrong with Schools?" He is very critical of schools and places the blame on teachers and the nature of their work. He states, "school teaches children to quit (p.35)... There are too many mean, small-minded, vindictive teachers in the school system (p.41)." He insults and steriotypes a profession that is deemed of high value and class. He has never been a teacher and ignorantly feels he knows what is best in public education. I believe his opinions are not valid regarding the school system because of lack of evidence, therefor leading me to believe his opinions on raising a smarter child are some what of a farce.
