A tarefa de ensinar, muitas vezes, pode parecer complexa demais. Também há momentos em que o professor se sente perdido, à deriva, sem algum método específico a que se agarrar: “Que tipo de linguagem devo usar?”, “Como saber se a criança está realmente aprendendo?”, “Como ensinar para a vida e não apenas para decorar?”. Entretanto, John Milton Gregory, conjugando simplicidade com profundidade, nos revela que a missão de ensinar não precisa ser dificultada pela falta de direção: existem princípios básicos, facilmente extraídos das leis da natureza e da própria lei divina, capazes de inspirar, corrigir e orientar mestres e pais desejosos de instruir bem aqueles sob seus cuidados, com toda a excelência e show more gravidade que essa arte requer. As sete leis do ensino é para todos aqueles que almejam ensinar com os pés bem firmados em fundamentos sólidos e universais. show less

First words
Teaching has its natural laws as fixed as the laws of the planets or of growing organisms. It is a process in which definite forces are employed to produce definite results, and there results follow as regularly and certainly... (show all) as the day follows the sun.
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)The study of these laws may not make of every reader a perfect teacher; but the laws themselves, when fully observed in use, will produce their effects with the same certainty that chemical laws generate the compounds of chemical elements, or that the laws of life produce the growth of the body.
