"How to Create Nonreaders"

Here's a wonderful article about the strategies at work in most classrooms today that kill the love of learning.  Reward programs, grades, tests, isolation, and lack of choice all damage the intrinsic motivation of children to deeply explore their world.  The solution is to go a different direction.  When children choose their own educational goals, work together meaningfully, and assess themselves, they develop autonomy, internal motivation, and real-world learning skills.

There's a better way forward!  Join the child-led, project-driven revolution.
