Review: still in the process of reading this one. So far, I love it!
Review: As a parent and teacher, I highly recommend this book. I got this originally for insight on raising my kid and creating an environment that supports learning (human connection and play are more important than test prep and work sheets, unsurprisingly), but it also had an impact on me as a teacher. Though I teach high school, it's inspired me to try out some things in the classroom that might help ignite students' interest in actually learning vs. getting good grades. This book is pretty common sense, but still worth the read. The author is pretty realistic, and aside from the fact that after turning an outdoor frog (or was it a toad?) into a pet for a while, she released it back into the wild, she has some good ideas and advice.

Fast delivery. Everything OK. Nothing special to say, because they deliver books in mint condition, fast and easy as expected.
