A Magnificent Synergy

by George Beinhorn

2018

Answering parents’ questions about the surprising links between happiness and high performance in the classroom. How positive feelings and individual attention nurture success in the early grades, in high school and college, and for all of life.

Based on the 50-year experience of the Living Wisdom Schools

CAN A BALANCED EDUCATION solve the problems confronting education today? Surely the answer to the failures of No Child Left Behind and the Core Curriculum lies in educating the individual child. A lockstep curriculum that ignores each child’s special strengths sets too many students up to fail. “Studying to the test” fails to give children an in-depth awareness of important principles. Filling children’s heads with quickly forgotten facts without building upon their natural enthusiasm for learning creates burnout, rebellion, and one-sided graduates who are inadequately prepared for the challenges of college and adult life. This book explains why a balanced, highly individualized curriculum that includes educating children’s hearts as well as their minds nurtures highly engaged, happy students who perform brilliantly in school.
