Mr. Robinson, If you read this, I just wanted to express my profound admiration for you and your work. I have read your book "What Smart Students Know" very carefully from cover to cover and have completed all the exercises. I will always and forever know more about rocks than I'd ever wanted to! The 12 questions have become nearly sacrosanct for me, and truly helped me to understand what genuine learning is. P.S: I've listened to both Word Smart Audio versions and you are just awesome.
I'm going to read this book( What smart student know) and I have a question to you. How did you already apply lessons in this book in your study, work, life . Thank you.
I just found out about Mr. Robinson via John Taylor Gatto: The ultimate history lesson. Everything Adam is saying resonates with me to the core. Can't wait to read his works.
Mr. Robinson, I like and appreciate What Smart Students Know. I hope you, or someone that understands the book, will make a video (especially a free one on youtube) of the book in action. I can't read much do to a back problem, I look at a computer monitor which faces 100 percent face down over my bed. I am a big fan of educational videos, and use a voice recorder to review the lecture at a faster playback speed. I know this is probably not applying one of the 12 questions, and that memorizing is not the goal, but I really appreciate your thoughts on learning. I am not so impressed with your thoughts on life. In fact I wondered if you were being completely honest in some of your answers in the above video. Regarding "what are the expert questions" I must at least refer you to an expert, his name is Inmenham (gary), his specialty philosophy. You might like some of the ideas under education reform. Your book was a huge help for me in learning. Thank you.
