Phil
Beadle is a former rock musician, the winner of the Secondary
Teacher of the Year Award 2005, and the inspirational teacher who
wowed the nation with his unorthodox teaching methods in Channel 4
series "The Unteachables". There, his bizarre but effective approach
to teaching English included Punctuation Kung-Fu, and reciting
"Macbeth" to a field of cows. Through techniques such as these
Beadle seemingly achieved the impossible by successfully drawing out
the desire to learn from a group of drop-out teenagers. Now his
focus is on spreading the word to parents: every child has the
ability to learn and do better at school. In this book he tells
parents that there is no such thing as a stupid child, only boring
lessons. Intelligent, unconventional, humorous and inspirational,
this hands-on guide blends personal anecdotes with the nitty gritty
of how to best unlock your children's unique intelligence, and how
to ensure they have the best possible chance to succeed at school.
