Description & Specifications

America has long compared its students to the top students of other nations. But how do the world's educational powerhouses look through the eyes of an American high school student? Author Amanda Ripley follows three teenagers who decided to spend a school year living and learning in Finland, South Korea, and Poland. Through their adventures, Ripley discovers surprising truths about how attitudes, upbringing, and rigorous teaching have revolutionized these countries' education outcomes. In her book The Smartest Kids in the World, Ripley's stunning new insights reveal that the top countries achieved great results only in the last few years; that the children living there learn to think for themselves, partly through their failures; and that persistence, hard work, and resilience count more for our children's life opportunities than self-esteem or sports. Ripley's investigative work effortlessly blends narrative and research, providing in-depth analysis and intriguing details that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Written in a clear and accessible style, The Smartest Kids in the World will empower public and family discussions on what makes students brighter and better.
