In a book that was written in the everyday language of parents but acclaimed by academics, 'The Illusion of Education' goes deep into the education psyche to discover what is really wrong with school systems throughout the world. It examines the difficulties faced by teachers trying to bring order into the minds of children who do not know how to concentrate or why they should. This book discusses the social problems children face today, and explains how the chemistry of a victim's brain is changed by bullying and how this disturbs their ability to reason. When we think of bullying we think only of the incidental child living in fear, but the reality is that education is experiencing such a degree of escalating violence that the ability of all students to reason and so perform better is affected by this in different degrees. To improve the reasoning ability of its students, education introduces aspects of critical thinking into a few of their subjects. However, because of our general ignorance of what intelligence is, the child from nursery to final examination is not taught how to think, so that this casual introduction of critical thinking into their lives comes too late and too little alters the mental processing systems each have already developed.Pressurized to produce students of higher ability, the general school forces students to think only of grades to get into university, but in being unable to raise their ability for this it adjusts the ways it teaches and assesses to enable them to do so. Meanwhile the university, which has grown so large it needs more students to support it, has to accept lower capabilities to survive. While all this is kept out of the public's knowledge, it basically means that the school child of today is less educated than they were four decades ago, but more able to obtain a degree that also is of less general worth than it was at that time. Unaware of this, the public only see that more children go to university, but little realise what this really means or the effect it is creating in our societies.Despite changes in the way it operates, education today is still basically the same machine it was when it came into being in the 19th Century, and this is why it fails today. The education of that time came about to create two models of citizen. One to manage or administer the society, and the other to comply in work and social matters to their instruction. Education created this difference by not teaching children how to think, and worked on the basis that they were born how to do so. The ability to reason, and so the selection of the higher model of citizen, was left to the university, which selected students through discrete strategies inlaid into the general school system. Our error today is that we believe, through the social changes forced into education, that it no longer follows this design. It does! 'The Illusion of Education' explains not only how it does this, but more importantly why it does so. The danger in not knowing or realizing this, is the cause of education being unable to produce the type of citizen that is urgently being required in this 21st Century.'The Illusion of Education' examines the deep history behind this to explain how education can change today, and so why it must if our children are to safely negotiate their lives through a world largely managed by artificial intelligence. Our error, and in this lies the greatest danger to our children, is that we fail to see how their world will be very different to the one we live in, and how little we are preparing them for the legacy they will inherit from us.
"Memoirs of a Happy Teacher" and "What Every Parent and Teacher Should Know" have the same content, but are offered with alternative book covers. Presented more as a fun and easy-to-read novel than the actual academic book it really is, Memoirs of a Happy Teacher strikes at the core of all the problems in school today. Many of these problems underlie those that are later manifested in our society. As Roy Andersen recounts his experiences creating a sound platform for an 18- month-old to learn, to helping bullied children overcome their problems in learning, to explaining to a dyslexic student of 17 why he never was truly dyslexic, Roy exposes the general misunderstandings behind why children really fail in school today.As the reader is carried through personal interviews, village hall meetings, evening school talks, and battle-zone classrooms, they encounter the worries, questions, and problems faced by teachers, children, and their parents--all struggling to overcome an educational service that never seems to get it right.This book is for any parent who is really interested in the struggles and dangers awaiting their child in school, and for teachers of all levels from nursery to university, as it unveils a new and yet highly tested teaching methodology purposely designed for the 21st Century Child. After all, stars, marks, grades, and final examinations are simply a question of the child keeping up with each lesson. However, what we too often fail to understand is that the stresses we incur and unwittingly pass on to our child, when we argue or are too tired and too bored with life, not only disturbs their mind, but also their grades in school. For the mind of the student today is too seldom a happy one, as it struggles to survive in a world that is far more toxic than that which we lived in when we were children, and so can too little understand or know how to deal with. This is a book that shows you how.Roy's series of books clearly and methodically map out exactly how students learn. He isn't afraid toaddress head-on the many misconceptions that are plaguing our society and thus having a negativeimpact on our students' learning. Parents and educators who read these books will not only have abetter understanding, but will also be inspired to change in their attitudes and preconceived notionson how students can excel in their learning. If you've ever wanted to unravel how student's learn,then these books are the answer you have been looking for! They should be mandatory reading forevery parent and educator.Erin Calhoun.

Developing IQ through compassion and imagination.

Five Ways for Better Grades is a book of two sections:Section One offers five ways the author believes will assist any student to improve their performance, from primary school to university, and so help them to perform better and so earn better grades.Section Two is an introduction to The New School Experience, as it offers a review of the work and books of Roy Andersen. Here, the reader is introduced to new thoughts about what is really wrong with school, and why we need to dramatically change the ways we are preparing the child of today for the world they will live and work in. After all, their will world must be very different from the one we know, as artificial intelligence continues to dominate work and life and will demand a different model citizen than our schools are now producing. If we teach children how to think from 'day one' we offer them greater control in their education and life.
