Why Kids Love (and Hate) School: Reflections on Practice [Hardcover]

Some students enter classrooms with an I dare you try to teach me look on their faces, and others bounce into class excited to learn and anxious to please the teacher. We know we cant automatically blame teachers or schools when students dont want to learn. But we also know that sometimes teachers and schools dont always set students up for success, and they dont always help them love what theyre learning.

Why Kids Love (and Hate) School: Reflections on Practiceinvestigates some of the school and classroom practices that help students love schooland some that send students in the opposite direction. Intended for classroom teachers, teacher education students, and school administrators, chapters in the book investigate a variety of topics: how schools can build effective school cultures, the struggle students encounter in learning, practices of other countries that help students love school, testing practices that cause students to hate schooland much more.
