Description
In this brilliant assessment of the roots of the crisis in education, Dr. Jane M. Healy in the Endangered minds: Why our children don’t think examines the reasons why children today are less able to concentrate, less able to absorb and analyze information, less able, literally, to think, than previous generations. Drawing on recent research in the neuropsychology of learning, as well as her own extensive experience in the classroom, Dr. Healy argues that the basic intelligence of our children is not the issue. Instead, she explains how electronic mass media, fast-paced lifestyles, unstable family patterns, environmental hazards, and current educational practices can affect not only the way our children think, but also the very physical structure of the brain. Thus, teachers from across the socioeconomic spectrum report a generation of “different minds”: children who have trouble with reading, oral and written expression, critical thinking, scientific problem-solving, and other forms of complex thinking. Calling for bold reform in the classroom, this book, offers parents and teachers specific advice on what they can do to help their children improve their learning skills now and in the future.
