How to Measure in Education [ 1922 ] Book

Wow! As an educator and a veteran of public schools, I highly recommend this book to anyone who is considering schools for their children. This book caused me to take action. It gave me the motivation, that I didn't even know I was lacking, to withdraw my son from his traditional school and enroll him in Montessori. If you are the least bit dissatisfied with the educational system that is currently steering the formation of young children, then read this book. It offers a valid response to the current political agenda that is driving education. The author, Trevor Eissler, may seem biased, at first, because he bases the book on his family's personal experience, but if you find yourself turned off by this, then just keep reading. His book provides a parent to parent discussion on the intricate, delicate, and highly-defined benefits of seeking an alternative for young children. He discusses the need for reform and offers parents a well narrated glimpse of the Montessori environment. His argument is solid and well researched. Eissler is persuasive in convincing others; he can no longer bear the weight of the "secret" that he has uncovered. I highly recommend this book and I hope that others will share their experiences.
