If a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach them the way they learn.

When faced with the choice between the classic How Children Learn and How Children Fail (both by John Holt) in one of my classes earlier this semester, I opted to be optimistic and read the former. It was a really inspiring read but I was left with the disconcerting sense that something written in the early 1960s to highlight the failures of education should still not ring so true now, at the end of the 2000s. I plan on reading the latter book during my winter break.
