“School’s approach should rest on a powerful belief: children can succeed when adults teach them carefully, systematically and persistently.” Low expectations, mediocrity are excuses are tools of incompetence. https://t.co/umb54MeBK1

"No less than adults, children succumb to selfishness, dishonesty, cruelty and a desire to test limits. A theory of discipline that seeks to understand these impulses is valuable. A theory that neglects the need to shape and restrain them is incomplete."

His verdict: a book that diagnoses behavior but forgets how to form it.
