Amanda Ripley is the author of THE SMARTEST KIDS IN THE WORLD--and How They Got That Way, a New York Times bestseller. Her first book, THE UNTHINKABLE: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes--and Why, was published in 15 countries and turned into a PBS documentary.

在書櫃裏躺瞭很久的一本書,也印證瞭什麼叫買書如山倒看書如抽絲,依稀記得是陳忻老師推薦的講各國教育對比的書,終於排上隊可以看看瞭。 很有啓發的一本書,對比瞭芬蘭、波蘭、韓國、美國的初高中教育,探討瞭什麼樣的教育最有效的嚴肅問題,但作者是個記者,所以讀起來不枯燥...
評分【書評人俱樂部】當我們討論聰明的孩子時,我們在討論什麼? 文/信實的精靈 寫這本書的書評的時候戰戰兢兢的,因為關乎教育的問題,很沉重,這就如同一韆個讀者就有一韆個哈姆雷特一樣,我不敢全部贊同作者的觀點,因此,彆人看我書評的時候也不一定全部贊同我的觀點...

評分看到書名裏時,我以為這是一本指南書,書裏會詳盡的告訴我們如何培養一個聰明且優秀的孩子。顯然對我封麵與封底的文字解讀有誤,但我也很慶幸這不是一本教育指南書,程序化統一標準的教育孩子,這並不現實。 關於“聰明”與“優秀”,在教育界對於這兩者的定義,我個人認識一直...
圖書標籤: 教育 育兒 英文原版 英文 科學和心理學 社會 英文版 睡前讀物
通過三個故事介紹瞭像芬蘭,韓國這樣的小國傢,為何能打造齣領先世界的中學教育體係?不過文字有些刻闆,像讀報告一樣很無趣。
評分原以為是一本教育百科,誰知道是一本比較絮叨的調查報告,不過對教育孩子的大方嚮上還是有一點啓發性的
評分polen stronk!!
評分請當做小說來看
評分教育是個復雜的問題,反思美國教育的同時,也許也能反觀一下我們自己。。。
