The Game of School: Why We All Play It, How It Hurts Kids, and What It Will Take to Change It by Robert L.

The article, “Never Say Anything a Kid Can Say,” by Steven C. Reinhart that was published in 2000 was quite an interesting read. Throughout this article, the author explained a teaching technique that he thought was the most effective for students to learn the most.
