Bill Gates recommends Diane Tavenner’s parenting book “Prepared”

“If you set out to create your ideal school from scratch, what would it look like?”

And it should be on your reading list too. Like the Reading Group Guide questions at the end of the book — it should be in all books.

What habits do you feel are most important to teach your kids or students, and how are you teaching them?

How do you feel about the Internet’s role in helping kids delve into interests?

Diane explains that one of the most frequent comments comments she hears from parents, when thinking of their own schooling, is “I did fine.” Is this a reasonable, pragmatic answer? Or is it settling? What is fair to expect?
