Review I wish I could take this compact, powerful, clear-eyed, beautifully written book and put it in the hands of every parent, teacher and politician.

But more than that: it will fill you with a sense of what could be. -- Alex Kotlowitz, author of There Are No Children HereEvery parent should read this book – and every policymaker, too. -- Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of HabitA timely and essential message … a brilliantly readable account of the growing evidence that inner resources count more than any amount of extra teaching support or after-school programmes when it comes to overcoming education disadvantage * Independent *Absorbing and important. * New York Times * Promotional Why character, confidence, and curiosity are more important to your childs success than academic results.
