Features: In the vast book market in the United States each year, only a handful of books manage to top the important bestseller lists. In the second half of 2002, a book discussing a brand-new educational philosophy and learning model quickly climbed the charts and remained at the top for a long time—it is "The Miseducation of Children." It is hard to imagine a book that spans the field of education and garners such sincere acclaim and enthusiastic endorsement from parents and educators. The learning model proposed in this book explains that different ways of thinking correspond to different learning styles and needs. It provides an effective approach to understanding and helping children whose brain skills do not meet expectations and whose academic performance is poor.
