refutes common beliefs about education

This book refutes the common belief that a positive self-esteem is the basis for success in school. We need to take the "self" out of self-esteem and instead deny ourselves and glorify God. The author says, "More self-esteem leads to pride in oneself and pride leads to destruction. God teaches us to deny self! That doesn't mean to give up chocolate for a period of time. That means to forget your own interests and to put God and his kingdom first. In order to follow Christ in the first place, you must first deny yourself. The biblical discussion of self-esteem doesn't end there. Next, we are expected to each esteem others better than ourselves...."Building on this principle, the author talks about school choice, priorities, problem solving and a host of other practical matters. Charts, bullet point, and interactive questions accompany the text.This is a good book to read whether your children are in the public school system, a private school or are homeschooled.
