What's up with the narration?

Revisado: 01-17-24

While I found listening to Maria Montessori's practices and perspective, the narration was very distracting. I'm not one to typically complain about the narrators and I generally find most narrators to be great. I'm not trying to be mean, but this narration was very distracting and I found it to be worse than modern AI voice generation. It was very stilted and robotic and even mispronounced words a several times.

Maybe pass on the audio book and just buy the print version.

Fascinating book!

Revisado: 08-22-23

I've always been interested in language and this book does a great job not just delving into how we often use language to marginalize groups, but also just how we use language in general. I think this book would be just as interesting to those who are interested in language even if they do not consider themselves feminists.

Pretty Interesting

Revisado: 08-09-23

Overall pretty good and interesting. I think the theories in the book are a little strained, but overall the concept of memetics and most of what the book goes into feels pretty sound.

Very interesting read

Revisado: 08-08-23

I really enjoyed this book. I found it to be very interesting and many of the mysteries I was unable to unwind before the book revealed them. Can’t wait for the Netflix show! I’m also looking forward to the rest of the series.

HIGHLY RECONMEND

Revisado: 08-08-23

I’m a school Behavior Coach, I train teachers on how to deal with behavior as well as directly support students during crisis behaviors. Many of the students I work with have childhood trauma or ongoing traumatic experiences. This book does a great job going into the science of trauma as well as how we heal from trauma.

I found this book not just professionally valuable, but also personally. I have my own child’s trauma I’ve been trying to heal from. I highly recommend this book for anyone with trauma or anyone who works with individuals with last trauma.

Good introduction to Restorative Practices

Revisado: 08-08-23

This book didn’t go as deep as I was hoping, but it does do a pretty good job explaining how to implement restorative practices for those with little exposure or understanding of where to start.

Great for Teachers!

Revisado: 08-08-23

I’m a Behavior Coach and I support teachers by training them on dealing with behavior as well as working directly with students during crisis behavior. This book does a great job education about why restorative behavior approaches are more effective and why they’re more affective. Highly recommend for teachers and administrators!

Highly Recommend

Revisado: 08-08-23

I highly recommend this book to those who think that “defund the police” or “abolish the police” is too extreme.

Very Thought Provoking

Revisado: 02-04-23

As a long time educator and current educational leader I found this book to be very thought provoking. Not only does Tony Wagner outline what is wrong about our schools today, but he also gives solutions and points to real world examples of schools making change and being successful. I think this book is a must read for any educational leaders. I only hope that I can start conversations in my own district to help close the global achievement gap .

Dated

Revisado: 12-16-22

I didn't know when this book was published when I started it, it was recommended by a friend. While listening I thought it sounded very 90's in terms of research and social ideas, and I was right! This book is very dated and in my opinion not worth listening to. Currently trying to find something more recent and with better ideas to recommend back to my friend, but sadly haven't found anything yet.
