You message is so needed into today's world! As a mother of one brilliant academic and one gifted journeyman brick layer, I commend you for your rare insight. I ended up homeschooling my two very different children for a number of years. One of the reasons was the popular and prevailing educational attitude that helped my daughter to succeed at every turn, but failed to address the needs, dreams, and brains of my hands-on, tactile learning son.

While I appreciate and am supportive of my daughter's higher educational opportunities,I am also proud of my "State Apprentice of the Year" tradesman. Thank you for this valuable book addressing an almost untalked about issue. You have taken a much needed step in "bridging the gap"!
