Books by Cornelius N. Grove

Grove asks not that we copy East Asian teaching approaches, but that we use them as a mirror to gain insights into typically American approaches and their underlying values, which are handicapping our children's learning.

The Drive to Learn helps American parents learn from how Chinese, Japanese, and Korean parents think about and carry out child-rearing and how it translates into education.

The Aptitude Myth addresses the decline in American children's mastery of critical school subjects. It contends that a contributing cause for this decline derives from many Americans' ways of thinking about children's learning: They believe that school performance is determined very largely by innate aptitude.
