First published in the mid 1960s, How Children Fail began an
education reform movement that continues today. In his 1982
edition, John Holt added new insights into how children investigate
the world, into the perennial problems of classroom learning,
grading, testing, and into the role of the trust and authority in
every learning situation. His understanding of children, the
clarity of his thought, and his deep affection for children have
made both How Children Fail and its companion volume, How Children
Learn, enduring classics.
