{"product_id":"9781851686032","title":"What's the Point of School?","description":"With their emphasis on regurgitated knowledge and stressful exams, today’s schools actually do more harm than good. Guiding readers past the sterile debates about City Academies and dumbed-down exams, Claxton proves that education’s key responsibility should be to create enthusiastic learners who will go on to thrive as adults in a swiftly-changing, dynamic world. Students must be encouraged to sharpen their wits, ask questions, and think for themselves - all without chucking out Shakespeare or the Periodic Table. Blending down-to-earth examples with the latest advances in brain science, and written with passion, wit, and authority, this brilliant book will inspire teachers, parents, and readers of all backgrounds to join a practical revolution and foster in the next generation a natural curiosity and the spirit of adventure.","brand":"Guy Claxton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47709847159102,"sku":"9781851686032","price":464.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781851686032_59e72a8f-4bca-4093-b580-3df3cb547e74.jpg?v=1707639457","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781851686032","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
