Absolutely brilliant!! Essential reading for anyone who has any doubts or concerns at all about the homogenised education system that we drop our children to. Phil Beadle is clearly an awesome and inspirational teacher who made it his mission to ensure that his pupils understood his lessons....and recognised the different channels through which children learn. Whilst girls tend to be happy to sit and listen, boys have a very different attention span. If only there were more teachers like him.....but given that there aren't, this book is essential reading to help parents understand how to help their children learn the basics in fun and motivational ways.
