Will gives a very convincing argument for doing the right thing for our children. His brilliant stories make you laugh and seethe in equal measure. I laughed at the fantastic wisdom of children and seethed at the way some of our brilliant teachers are made to feel inadequate because they are not following the latest teaching fashions.
Will`s enthusiasm for teaching is contagious. He speaks from the heart whilst drawing on a wealth of research from some of the most inspiring educationalists in the world. Yet it is his practical approach, with so many examples of great ideas, that makes this book such a useful tool for teachers.
Two things really stand out in reading the book:
Firstly, it challenges the reader to think about what is really important for our youngsters if they are going to succeed in a rapidly changing world. Secondly, Will`s call to action when he asks us, `Will you go the extra mile for the children in your care and help the magic of childhood be enhanced by electrifying learning opportunities? I hope so.` And so will everyone else that cares about children`s success!
