ANIMAL SCHOOL BOOK review & GIVEAWAY

IF YOU NEVER READ A SINGLE REVIEW HERE, PLEASE WATCH THIS MOVIE :))

The first time I watched "Animal School" I cried. I cried for my son ,I cried for every kid who makes their way through an often difficult education. I cried for my self too.

I was a very bright child. I tested high but always had trouble in the homework department. One teacher told my Mom that I was smart and should not be playing, I should act more studious. Another said that because I was bright and my grades did not match my smarts, I was just lazy.

These difficult times changed my young attitude about learning. It was no longer exciting . It became a chore. That is the crime in this - robbing a child of the innate joy of learning.

I went on to work in the school system and saw that most children struggled, very few retained their natural desire to learn and many fell through the cracks.

I took a huge leap of faith and decided that wanted to salvage what little excitement my son had left. I brought him home to learn.

Animal School is a powerful message. I sent it anonymously to every address in the Community School directory. I hope that opened one eye. It would have to I think.

You can find the video, buy the download or book, or get advice on raising happy and emotionally healthy children amidst turbulent times at Raising Small Souls. I have received Ellen's newsletter for years - it's a wealth of information for parents.
