Parenting with Gŭan: Seven Commitments to Your Child Chapter 11: Responsibility and Creativity Responsibility Creativity A Note About the Online Annotated Bibliography Conclusion Bibliography [standard, non-annotated] EndnotesReviewsDue to the consistent comparison of public education in America to the education of students in other nations, test results have been known to identify Chinese, Japanese and Korean educational practices to be superior. [This book] explores why the students in these countries demonstrate high dedication to educational attainment. . . . The book takes on a different perspective from most books that identify reasons for the decline in educational performance of students in America. Most research studies the practices of educators or teachers. The author of this book studies the personalities and perspectives of students to understand the learning outcomes and create theories to improve student achievement and performance. . . . This book provides high expectations and mindsets that are simple to implement. I would recommend this book to any educator or parent in need of effective strategies and practices to improve student attitudes towards the importance of education. * School Administrator * Author InformationCornelius N.
