"Although I do not totally agree with everything she says, I still think this is a great book about teaching and raising kids. She gives plenty of examples how to teach and help children learn."
"Marva Collins is an educator that has mastered "troubled" or inner city children. Children grouped under special education were reading on a collegiate level within a year in her class. The amazing part is she started her school in her attic with a handful of children, including her own after becoming frustrated with the public school system in Detroit. Google her for more information on her seminars, school and philosophy. A must for anyone who works with children from any background!"
