School is for children, not the other way around. Alfie Cohn

this book is devoted to the American school system, it is undoubtedly of interest to our reader, because the school crisis is a non-national phenomenon.
As an attentive and conscientious doctor, Alfie Cohn conducts a thorough investigation and issues a disappointing diagnosis that sounds like a death sentence to the school system. But as a professional who is personally interested in the patient's recovery, he builds a holistic treatment strategy and gives recipes that we can use.
To do this, we need to rethink a lot. What education should be, what the purpose of the school should be, what should be the necessary condition for constructive change and what reforms should be... In his voluminous and structured work, Kohn gives us precise direction and infects us with his confidence that schools can become truly FOR children, truly responding to their needs and keeping up with the spirit of the times.

The book will be useful to parents, teachers, tutors, managers, anyone who is interested in education and is aware of the need for fundamental changes in this area.
