Summary: Pass it on...
Review: I love Marv's ideas. I pass them on to my students studying to be teachers at Cal Poly State University in San Luis Obispo, CA. I also pass them on to my MA candidates who are already successful teachers. He offers a wealth of ideas and puts a positive spin on that precious component of success -- attitude!

Summary: Fantastic Resource for Schools
Review: This book clearly presents how discipline--self-discipline, the only type that really matters--is encouraged and developed. If you agree with Alfie Kohn that most punishment (and rewards) in school is truly only for the benefit of the one imposing the hurt, but find Alfie's approach a bit distant from real school, then Marvin Marshall might be the answer. This book is easy to read, practical, and insightful. For example, Marshall describes how adults can be authoritative without being authoritarian. Our actions teach our children more than our words. When schools are ruled through fear and intimidation, what our children learn is not discipline, but rather how to control others (their future children, spouses, and employees) by instilling fear. I also appreciated the insight that Marshall provides about the need for children to develop responsibility rather than have than have responsibility (or accountability) imposed by adults.

Summary: Workable and practical ways of working with kids
Review: This is one of the best books I have read about relating to kids. As a school psychologist it is a landmark book in making the shift away from using punishment and consequences to a mindset of working with kids in more positive ways to facilitate responsible behavior. I highly recommend this book to parents and educators.
