There is much to learn from this book and, for sure, there are parts that are controversial, not least because De Jager is strong in her beliefs - "Just as you would not expect someone with a broken leg to climb a mountain, you could not expect these learners to help and change themselves"- and, as was stated earlier, it is the propensity of the author to raise important issues for discussion. She also believes that, "Teachers tend to teach the way they learn." But, as De Jager so clearly explains in this book, the chosen way is not necessarily the way that every mind moves - whether the learner is a child or an adult.

This book is a must-read for qualified teachers and therapists, and especially teachers and therapists in training, because it raises important issues that should be considered and discussed by everyone interested in learning.
