Abstract:
Teaching Students to Love Learning, Not Just Endure It makes the case that if we really want 'no child left behind' we must return to the solid foundation on which successful teaching and learning has always rested - the love of teacher for her students (and they for her) and the passion of the teacher for her discipline and her desire to share that passion with her students.
