Countless books and articles have offered remedies for the poor
learning outcomes of American schoolchildren. Virtually all of
these publications share one thing in common: They propose
improvements in the policies and practices controlled by adult
educators. Grove believes that our children's poor learning cannot
be totally the fault of educators. Our children are active
participants in classrooms, so if there's a problem with how well
our children are learning, then we as parents might be at fault. To
discover what our part is and explore what can be done about it,
Grove draws on over 100 anthropological studies of children's
learning and child-rearing in China, Japan, and Korea. They reveal
that those children, even the youngest ones, are highly receptive
to classroom learning. Why do they come into classrooms with
attentive and engaged attitudes? How did they acquire the drive to
learn? Can American parents benefit from knowing how Chinese,
Japanese, and Korean parents think about and carry out
child-rearing? The Drive to Learn explores these questions.
