This book presents a revolutionary approach to teaching that aims to conform to the natural learning processes of individuals. Author Spence firmly asserts that the primary objective of teaching should not be to transfer knowledge from teacher brains to student brains, as this approach has proven to be frustrating, boring, and minimally effective. In his words, \"Decades of experience have crystal clear that this approach frustrates teachers, bores students, and yields minimal learning.\" This book is a thought-provoking exploration that challenges readers to examine their current teaching practices and the resulting failure of students to acquire knowledge. The author encourages readers to engage in critical thinking and explore possible answers to the questions raised throughout the book. While the author's views and ideas may not resonate with everyone, their intention is to ignite a deeper conversation about the need for transformative teaching practices that prioritize student learning and development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781642674651\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Larry D.
