I have a chance to be part of a blog tour for The Straight A Handbook: The 50 Most Powerful Secrets For Ultimate Success In And Out Of The Classroom, by Dr. John Chuback, shares the skills, techniques, and philosophies which are the key to success in school, work, and life.
Almost everything taught in these pages are ideas and lessons that arose from real life experiences he encountered on becoming a successful surgeon, entrepreneur, and inventor. These are proven and reproducible steps that will help anyone ascend great heights. Dr. Chuback has used these techniques with his three children, two of whom are currently working to receive a law degree and one of whom graduates from high school this May.
As a teacher, this was an interesting book to review. I am constantly giving my students different strategies to improve grades and mastery, and I know not every tip is going to work for every kid. However, there are so many options to choose from in this book that students are bound to find at least a few that will work for him. It's not necessarily an instant-magic guide to success - the strategies to take work and discipline, but they will definitely help if put into action!
