This ground-breaking research needs to be shared with ALL educators. Many need to realize that education goes beyond teaching a subject...but empowering our children with life-skills so that they can learn independently, and make sound judgments and life choices. I am finding that students are graduating but they have not matured enough to enter the world...and this all goes back to educating them with the skills they will need to function and progress in society. I applaud Ellen Galinsky's efforts and cannot wait to read her book.
