Just about COVERS it…

I know we should never judge a book by its cover…

But how many things can you spot wrong with this cover?

“The COMPLETE middle school study guide”

All the answers you’ll ever need. Don’t look any further than this one book. Perpetuating the idea that there is a single source for correct answers. There’s no value in further reading, in exploring, in asking any questions that might take you outside the confines of this book.

“Everything you need to ACE math”

To ace. To get a high score. Not to master. Not to become a great mathematician. It’s the score that matters above all else.

“from SMARTEST KID in CLASS”

Let’s keep ranking and comparing our kids. Make sure your students are striving to be top of the class, the highest scoring, number one in the league tables. Far more important than anything like dreams or interests or passion.

“Double-checked by an AWARD WINNING teacher”

Because if you’re hard working, caring, committed and passionate but you haven’t received an award, then you’re just not as valuable.
