Review # 1 was written on 2012-10-15 00:00:00 Robert Marino Not the first book about this topic that I read, and so it felt a bit too journalistic for me - and also perhaps too... maybe libertarian (the author's word) in the author's approach to education (for example, I personally don't believe that fairness requires adults and children to be subject to the same rules, and that compulsory schooling is bad). However, I liked that the author offers ideas about the origins of the violence and bullying in Japanese schools as well as sketches of what is being done to change the situation.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-06-13 00:00:00 Joseph Carroll Ha i suoi anni, e un titolo un po' sensazionalistico, ma è comunque ancora un libro molto utile e attuale per capire alcune cose sulla scuola giapponese e sulla scuola in generale.
