”Many children can be reached through the arts where other areas of education simply do not work” (80). This is making me think. I need to brainstorm more about this...I‘m a teacher and artistic, in a school with no built-in arts program. Maybe I should find a way to incorporate more art in math and English...

I totally see this. As a teacher, I‘m always wanting to improve my teaching and boost my students‘ achievement. Sometimes I feel like these books are negative with no ideas for change and improvement. So far, it‘s reminding me of “The Smartest Kids in the World” because it talks about a huge issue in education is teacher quality. I‘m hoping this one will be different and offer suggestions, possibly even for teachers and not just systematic shifts.
