Wow, this is an eye opener. Denise Pope, a Stanford Professor and author, researched parent and student perceptions about the education system and the attributes they believe will gain the students success. She presents her findings in her book Doing School: How We are Creating a Generation of Stressed, Out, Materialistic, and Miseducated Students.
For those of you that don’t have time to read the book, this MindShift article provides a great summary of her research and some further insight from Denise Pope. Her recommendations lean more towards what schools can do to restructure for student success, but I think there are some take-aways for us parents as well.
