Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The word education comes from the Latin word educare, which means to draw out. Unfortunately for many of us, our memories of education are long, painful sessions of cramming little bits of information into our heads, memorizing them for the test, and then forgetting what we had just learned. #2 The importance of listening to others, letting others talk, and being respectful to the ideas of others even if they clashed with your own was taught to me by my best friend’s mother. #3 The number of single-parent families I see today concerns me. Having both a mom and a dad as teachers was important in my development. My mom was a very kind, loving person, and she wanted me to be kind and loving. But she also stressed the importance of developing my masculine side. #4 I was bullied in first grade, and when I tried to stand up for myself, my dad taught me a valuable lesson: to be strong rather than weak. I gained respect from my class, and the girl who was previously my crush became my girlfriend.
