Each week, Education World spotlights books of interest to educators. This week, read a brief summary of two more of our "top 50 books for educators."

No Contest: The Case Against Competition
One of the most prolific education writers, Alfie Kohn is also one of the most entertaining and thought-provoking. This book makes perhaps the most profound argument Kohn has ever fielded -- that "healthy competition" is an oxymoron, that competition is not an essential or desirable aspect of human nature, but rather a part of our animal nature that we must transcend. Of course our educational system has a love-hate relationship with competition: we don't want kids to feel like losers, but our society demands that schools identify a small number of winners. A truly essential read!

The Absorbent Mind
Maria Montessori's classic underscores her belief that learning is a natural characteristic of the human being, and that the process of education is best conducted as a nuturing of that natural impulse, rather than something that has to be imposed on one's otherwise savage little charges. Along with this is her belief, much more radical in its time than now, that people's personalities are not fixed at birth, but that a child's early years are in fact crucially formative.

LEAVE 'EM LAUGHING
==========================================================================

Phone Practice

A high-school football player was stressed because he had forgotten the time for the next day’s practice. Not wanting to be late or miss a practice, the player picked up the phone to call his coach. The coach’s wife answered the phone and said the coach was not home.

“I will have him call you as soon as he gets home,” the coach’s wife said. “What’s your number?”

“Twenty-six,” the flustered player replied.

Payback Time

A professor was giving a big test one day. He handed out all of the tests and went back to his desk to wait. At the end of the testing period, all the students handed in their tests. The professor noticed that one of the students had attached a $100 bill to his test with a note that read, “A dollar per point.”

The next class period, the professor handed back the tests. The student who’d attached the $100 bill got back his test and $64 change.

Little Johnny Strikes Again

Little Johnny’s English teacher assigned the students to write an essay on what they’d do if they had a million dollars.

After about 10 minutes, the teacher began to wander the classroom to see how her students were doing. She paused as she saw that Little Johnny’s paper was blank. “Johnny,” the teacher said, “you have written nothing. Why not?”

“Because if I had a million dollars, that's exactly what I would do!”
