review 1: The only book I've ever read that addresses how parents can talk to their children about school when the values of the school and family don't completely match. This book is also great for taking people's early school experiences seriously. Lots of stories, many from students with various special needs including adhd and learning disabilities. I'm buying this book to have at home. There's no higher compliment I can give than that.
review 2: I read Wounded By School and cried. My daughter went through so many things Kirsten talks about in her book. Having the opportunity to meet Kirsten Olsen and thanking her for having the courage to write this book was wonderful. We had a great opportunity to sit and talk about what our educational system is doing to our ch... moreildren! Teaching to the test, being more concerned about test scores that about individuals is what is hurting our educational system. Differentiated instruction and meeting a students needs and valuing what they can bring to a class is so important, yet lacking in so many classrooms. Stand and deliver needs to go and the teacher being the guide on the side is what will help our children grow, want to learn and be in school. less
