In some schools, children thrive; focused, engaged, and achieving exceptional results. Just 100 metres away, children from the same community in another school, struggle with every anxiety known to man, rely on fidget spinners, wellbeing rooms, and achieve depressingly low
Children learn at different paces, in different ways, and on different days. The education system needs to be structured accordingly.

The tale of two curriculums One is based on a constructivist perspective, the other is Direct Instruction. Same topic. Same kid. One gives a thousand times more practice!!!

The best teachers I've seen don't use a wide range of activities. They do a few things, and they do them well. They hone them, practise them, and know exactly when each one should be used and why. The students become habituated to them, and learning goes through the roof.

As a parent, I’m happy if you just teach my kid knowledge rather than attempting to teach her how to think. She can already think, and so can all the other kids. She needs more to think with. I hope that relieves an enormous burden and opens doors for a knowledge rich education.

Second time on this book this summer.. love a text which reassures you that your overall approach is spot on whilst encouraging you to fine tune and develop even more. The most useful book I’ve read in a while @MrZachG
