I'm inspired by the very human approach Rogers advocates for psychological therapy, education, and society. He would rather have people come together as equals in a co-learning process of growth, than engage in the defeating practice of a hierarchical relationship in which "truth" is transmitted from superior to inferior. This book brings together a variety of essays, book excerpts, and lectures which help survey his work and thought.

A book about America's grading system--it just doesn't sound like anything that would keep your attention for a long time, right? You'll be proven pleasantly wrong after reading this amazing book. I found myself agreeing with most everything that was said, and let it be mentioned that while the book was published in 1971, the arguments are still completely applicable, and changes still need to be made. While the book is written in a half-corny, half-interesting narration of a class assignment that spins out of control, it really puts the issues in perspective, sometimes in a horrifying light (english paper grades vs. math/science paper grades). I think one of the other statements made in this book that really stuck out was the idea that childhood naturally stifles curiousity--and grades only add to this. It's true, it really is, "grades represent the measure of a person's value" and we as a society do nothing to break this horrible perspective. I really only wish this debate on grades was re-sparked, it's an on-going battle, and very little is being done to solve it.
