How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character by Paul Tough
4.0
If you are a teacher, read this book.
We read it as a school and discussed it in small groups at the end of every staff meeting. Eye opening discussions and great team-building. I've also heard him speak, which is very informative. Search his TED talks and you tube...it's worth it.
I'm not saying I agree with every aspect of it, nor that he is an absolute authority on the subject of education. I'm saying there are some great conversations that can be had around the ideas he brings up in this book.
