　　Mind-opening writing on what kids need from school, from one

of education’s most outspoken voices

Arguing that our schools are currently in the grip of a “cult of

rigor”—a confusion of harde***ith better that threatens to banish

both joy and meaningful intellectual inquiry from our

classrooms—Alfie Kohn issues a stirring call to rethink our

priorities and rec***ider our practices.

Kohn’s latest wide-ranging collection of writings will add to his

reputation as one of the most incisive thinkers in the field, who

questi*** the assumpti*** too often taken for granted in

discussi*** about education and human behavior.

In nineteen recently published essays—and in a substantive

introduction, new for this volume—Kohn repeatedly invites us to

think more deeply about the conventional wisdom. Is self-discipline

always desirable? he asks, citing surprising evidence to the

contrary. Does academic cheating necessarily indicate a moral

failing? Might inspirational posters commonly found on school walls

(“Reach for the stars!”) reflect disturbing assumpti*** about

children? Could the use of rubrics for evaluating student learning

prove counterproductive?

Subjecting young children to homework, grades, or standardized

tests—merely because these things will be required of them

later—reminds Kohn of Monty Python’s “getting hit on the head

less***.” And, with tongue firmly in cheek, he declares that we

should immediately begin teaching twenty-second-century

skills.

Whether Kohn is clearing up misconcepti*** about progressive

education or explaining why incentives for healthier living are

bound to backfire, debunking the idea that education reform should

be driven by concerns about economic competitiveness or putting

“Supernanny” in her place, his readers will understand why the

Washington Post has said that “teachers and parents who encounter

Kohn and his thoughts come away transfixed, ready to change their

schools.”
