Quiet rebellion in the classroom

How do we deal with children? How do we encourage their creativity?

Does our school system encourage creativity or does it restrict it? In this book, the author provides numerous insights into how children can be prepared for a self-determined life and how their enthusiasm for learning can be awakened. However, he also shows the pitfalls of the school system, how the initial enthusiasm of gifted children can turn into boredom and how quickly frustration and coercion can have a demotivating effect.

Liveliness and creativity are innate in children and can be used by teachers to motivate them.

The examples in this book are impressive. However, they also show that we need not fear for our education system if teachers show the necessary commitment.
