Publisher's Summary
An essential book for parents to help their children get the education they need to live happy, productive lives from The New York Times best-selling author of The Element and Creative Schools
Parents everywhere are deeply concerned about the education of their children, especially now, when education has become a minefield of politics and controversy. One of the world's most influential educators, Robinson has had countless conversations with parents about the dilemmas they face. As a parent, what should you look for in your children's education? How can you tell if their school is right for them and what can you do if it isn't?
In this important new book, he offers clear principles and practical advice on how to support your child through the K-12 education system, or outside it if you choose to homeschool or un-school. Dispelling many myths and tackling critical schooling options and controversies, You, Your Child, and School is a key book for parents to learn about the kind of education their children really need and what they can do to make sure they get it.
What the critics say
"If you're worried about what will happen to your kids in school, Sir Ken Robinson is here to help. This is a clear-eyed, immediately practical guide to avoiding helicopter parenting but still playing an active role in your children's education - and ultimately their happiness and success." (Adam Grant, New York Times best-selling author of Originals and Give and Take, and Option B with Sheryl Sandberg)
“[Robinson] offers an honest view of all the options available, giving adults the tools and insights they need to find schooling that is the best fit for each individual child. For adults who are looking for ways to use schooling to help their children achieve happy, constructive lives.” (Library Journal)
“You, You Child, and School provides common-sense advice and helpful tactics to guide parents in making the right educational choices for their children. This book will help parents tone down their own anxiety, exasperation, and worries over schooling, and make the best choices for their child, providing a far more enjoyable and productive learning experience for all." (Kirkus Reviews)

A great shift of perspective
A great book from the wonderful Ken Robinson that really creates that very much needed shift of perspective on how we should guide our children in their education. Good insights and some very interesting research studies that really show how we have got it all wrong. So much to say, a must read if you have children!
