The End of Ignorance

Multiplying Our Human Potential




This important book now available in paperback for back-to-school.

A revolutionary call for a new understanding of how people learn.

The End of Ignorance
conceives of a world in which no child is left behind—a world based on the assumption that each child has the potential to be successful in every subject. John Mighton argues that by recognizing the barriers that we have experienced in our own educational development, by identifying the moment that we became disenchanted with a certain subject and forever closed ourselves off to it, we will be able to eliminate these same barriers from standing in the way of our children.

A passionate examination of our present education system, The End of Ignorance shows how we all can work together to reinvent the way that we are taught.
