Every day, your school, your teachers, and even your peers draw lines to measure
and standardize intelligence. They decide what criteria make one person
smart and another person stupid. They decide who will succeed and who
will just get by. Perhaps you find yourself outside the norm, because
you learn differently -- but, unlike your classmates, you have no
system in place that consistently supports your ability and desire to
learn. Simply put, you are considered lazy and stupid. You are expected
to fail. Learning Outside the Lines is written by two
such "academic failures" -- that is, two academic failures who
graduated from Brown University at the top of their class. Jonathan
Mooney and David Cole teach you how to take control of your education
and find true success -- and they offer all the reasons why you should persevere. Witty, bold, and disarmingly honest, Learning Outside the Lines
takes you on a journey toward personal empowerment and profound
educational change, proving once again that rules sometimes need to be
broken.
