    'Don't know much about history...'
  

*by E***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2013*

This is an interesting and reflective book about what we actually learn and the benefits we gain from it.  There is too much baseball in it for me, but the reflections on whether we are teaching children and young adults 'bits of stuff', or enabling them to engage in the art and/or skills of the subject is very important for all our futures.  As children cram for exams, the temptation to provide ready prepared material they can learn by heart has done a great deal not to prepare them for third level, let alone for life and work in the future.How many employers are finding bright young people with good qualifications who seem unable to research a project for which they have not been given the list of appropriate references, or where the answer is not easily obtained from Professor Google?The kind of approach developed in this book, which would mean that school children would learn about their past, not only as the stories of their locality and country, vital though this is, but would also be required to engage with the real work of a historian.  They might find out and write about some aspect perhaps of their local history, to learn that different people recall and attach significance to different things, to assess opposing explanations and narratives and come to their own conclusions supported by their research.  It is this sort of skill that has made history graduates valuable in many walks of life and work,  This is in line with 'playing the whole game' advocated by David Perkins, and indeed with several others of his 7 principles - 'making the game worth playing', 'working on the hard parts', 'playing out of town (seeking challenges)', uncovering the hidden game', learning from the team' and 'learning the game of learning'.It is an easy read (never mind the baseball) and the points are well set out.  Even if you are not involved in education, the issues raised here are important for all of us.

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 November 2014*

An interesting read that uses the extended metaphor well to elaborate on principles of good learning. I don't wholly agree with some of the elements of the book, but it provokes some stimulating thought for teachers and school leaders.

    Wonderful book!
  

*by F***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 April 2012*

As a sports enthusiast, in my opinion the reference to baseball in this book as a metaphor works well. I think this book is a fantastic,inspiring read and really confirms my beleifs about education. As a primary school teacher this book reinforces to me how much children need to know and experience where their learning fits into the 'big picture' and real life. I would highly recommend this book to all teachers.
