An easy text to read with good examples from mainly American primary/elementary schools. And given it's set mainly in America, it can be a bit 'American' in tone and style of writing for the foreign reader.

However, Covey's core ideas are interesting and relevant across the world. For many educators/teachers they might seem revolutionary, but fortunately I work at a high school that has many of these ideas embedded in our school (specifically our whanau) culture. But even so, it was a good reminder of what's important at school.

The book contains references to other authors and research which I liked because I could google them and read more.

I would recommend this book to any educator who is interested in teaching the child rather than the subject. ( )
