Summary

There's no disputing it: today's children are vastly different from children of a generation ago or even a few years ago. Television, the Internet, electronic games, and a host of other stimuli all tug at our children, vying for their attention and, often, inhibiting their learning potential and ability to succeed. Author and educator Barbara Bancroft Symanski, a veteran of the classroom for thirty-plus years, has seen the transition from yesterday's attentive, well-behaved, and well-equipped children to today's children, who often enter school "unprepared to learn."
