"What a terrific book! Armstrong describes the kind of school that almost everyone wishes they had attended, the school that Einstein would have run, where creativity, imagination, and joy were the goals of education, not scores on a lifeless standardized test."

''I love this book! It goes to the core of what is wrong with our test-obsessed standards-crazed system of education. More importantly, it provides living examples of classrooms and schools where imagination, curiosity, creativity, passion, and wonder are celebrated and viewed as an essential part of our students' learning experience. If Armstrong is right (and I believe he is), then our schools need to radically change their direction from worshipping grades and test scores to creating individuals who can think for themselves, generate unique ideas, and use their gifts to make the world a better place.''
