From the Publisher
"Children do not need to be made to learn, " Holt maintains, because each is born with what Einstein called "the holy curiosity of inquiry." For them, learning is as natural as breathing. First published in 1967, How Children Learn has become a classic for parents and teachers, providing an "effective, gentle voice of reason" (Life).
I just wanted to share a book which I orderded. "The book, a guide to creating a student-centered classroom, so impressed Stokoe that he threw out the syllabus. He had his students read Holts book, then observe deaf children being taught and write a tem paper." :)
