Recenzii
Here is a man who has spent a lifetime getting to know children well, and has been thinking as hard about what they need as their parents have . [An Intelligent Person's Guide to Education] is a humane and committed introduction to how the rest of us, parents and teachers alike, can use our own common sense.
A hugely reassuring, common-sense guide no parent of teenage boys should be without. Little's 10 top tips for dealing with adolescents are alone worth the cover price.
This is a work of reflection, humility and insight ... Brisk, well-written and warm ... [an] intelligent account of a lifetime spent teaching, learning and leading in the smartest echelons of the English education system.
Enlightening and enriching ... full of common sense.
This is a wonderful book. Tony Little captures the magic, the surprising alchemy that makes things work in an outstanding school, and offers hope and inspiration to people elsewhere.
