An essential book for parents to help their children get the education they need to live happy, productive lives from The New York Times bestselling author of The Element and Creative Schools
Parents everywhere are deeply concerned about the education of their children, especially now, when education has become a minefield of politics and controversy. One of the world’s most influential educators, Robinson has had countless conversations with parents about the dilemmas they face. As a parent, what should you look for in your children’s education? How can you tell if their school is right for them and what can you do if it isn’t? In this important new book, he offers clear principles and practical advice on how to support your child through the K-12 education system, or outside it if you choose to homeschool or un-school. Dispelling many myths and tackling critical schooling options and controversies, You, Your Child, and School is a key book for parents to learn about the kind of education their children really need and what they can do to make sure they get it.

来认识一下欧维，这个59岁的老头，脾气古怪，带着坚不可摧的原则、每天恪守的常规以及随时发飙的脾性在社区晃来晃去，被背地里称为“地狱来的恶邻”。他每天一大早就四处巡视，搬动没停进格线的脚踏车，检查垃圾是否按规定分类，抱怨谁家的草坪还不修剪，诅咒那只掉了毛的流浪猫。没完没了 。
他想自杀。
直到一个十一月的早晨，当一对话痨夫妇和他们的两个话痨女儿搬到隔壁，不小心撞坏了他的邮筒……
“读这个故事，”《人物周刊》说，“你会笑，你会哭，会因此想搬到北欧去，因为那里的一切都更可爱一些。”这个发生在瑞典的故事，如生命庆典般绚丽斑斓，它让我们思考，自己是谁，以及我们要如何过这一生。
有的人称它是《一个的朝圣》瑞典版，读者评价它“令人愉悦又心碎”“搞笑之余让你感动且哭得稀里哗啦”“读到一本好小说的感觉真好”！
