With their emphasis on regurgitated knowledge and stressful exams, todays schools actually do more harm than good. Guiding readers past the sterile debates about City Academies and dumbed-down exams, Claxton proves that educations key responsibility should be to create enthusiastic learners who will go on to thrive as adults in a swiftly-changing, dynamic world.

Blending down-to-earth examples with the latest advances in brain science, and written with passion, wit, and authority, this brilliant book will inspire teachers, parents, and readers of all backgrounds to join a practical revolution and foster in the next generation a natural curiosity and the spirit of adventure.
