In \u003ci\u003eRace to Nowhere, \u003c\/i\u003eVicki Abeles identified a widespread problem in our nation's schools: as students race against each other to have constantly higher grades, better test scores, and more AP courses than their classmates, they are irreparably damaging their mental and physical health. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow Abeles taps into this same grassroots community across the nation to find the solutions in \u003ci\u003eBeyond Measure, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich publishes simultaneously with the release of her new documentary. Pulling from powerful anecdotes and convincing new research, Abeles presents inspirational, quantifiable success stories and shows how anyone--students, parents, and educators--can effect change. Teachers who cut students' workload see scores rise; kids discover their own motivation once parents relieve the pressure to perform; schools that institute later start times have well-rested students who are able to learn more efficiently; and schools that emphasize depth over test prep find students more attentive, inventive, and ready to thrive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt's no secret that our education system is broken, and \u003ci\u003eBeyond Measure\u003c\/i\u003e inspires parents, educators, and students to take practical steps to fix it--starting today. In so doing, it empowers all of us to redefine learning and success, and to discover the true, untapped potential awaiting our children, not just in college, but in life.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Beyond Measure: Rescuing an Overscheduled, Overtested, Underestimated Generation | Vicki Abeles | Hardcover | 9781451699234 | Used: Very Good | Education 1733732","offer_id":50891581686018,"sku":"1733732","price":26.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81gINNr_GVL.jpg?v=1793125286","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/beyond-measure-rescuing-an-overscheduled-overtested-underestimated-generation-1","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
