I read John Holt's How Children Fail a very long time ago - before I was even involved in online learning and educational technology - and it resonated deeply with me. It was like John Holt had been spying on my public and high school classes! Here Scott McLeod has put together a set of 52 slides with relevant quotes from the book. Some are a bit long, but the collection will give readers a good idea of the message.
