Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Businessman Looks at Education
What really happened to you before you were old enough to attend school? When you were learning your three R's? After you began to earn your own living? During each of these periods you were the same person. In each phase, you tried to grow up as best you could. Sometimes you had a free choice in deciding what to do. Other times you had to go along no matter what you thought or felt. What did this mean to you? Did you have a real chance to develop the best that was in you? Before school? In school? While earning your own living? Did you depend most upon any single ability of yours to come through each period? Perhaps you are now a parent with children about to enter school or already in school. Your own school days may strongly influence the kind of education you want your child to have. You may re member gratefully certain understanding teachers who helped you get through the tough periods. The methods used by other teachers may now seem old-fashioned to you. Or perhaps you feel that modern methods have gone too far. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
