Original title: ?Prepared Introduction: We don’t need to choose between success and satisfaction for our children, because they can have it all.

——Diana Tavenner In 2001, high school teacher Taverner discovered that society needs a system to screen out who is suitable for what kind of job, and the school became such a platform.

Most students have no idea what it means to graduate from high school, and no one is truly prepared to enter the adult world except for academic performance.

Just when she lamented her inability to change the arms race-style education system, she found out that she was becoming a mother, and the outbreak of the "9·11" incident made her start to think about what kind of uncertain world awaits her children.

She decided to do something of real value to her children's lives, and she chose education.

Summitt Middle School was founded from scratch. Six years later, it welcomed its first graduating class.

There are unfortunate girls from drug-addicted families with both parents in prison, as well as talented teenagers from upper-middle-class families.

In this school full of miracles, children regardless of family background have learned valuable self-awareness, developed the ability to learn independently and reflect on problems, understand what they want, know their future goals, and how to live a better life.

Prepare for a fulfilling and meaningful life with financial security.

The children who enter this school are lucky, as their lives change the direction and height.

In Summit's graduation ceremony, there were no speeches by outstanding students or lengthy speeches by the principal. Students were escorted into the auditorium by the people most important to them (usually their parents), just like a father walking his daughter down the red carpet at a wedding.

Like Samit's educational philosophy, this ceremony allows every child to be seen and ensures that every child succeeds.

The biggest wish of every parent is to watch in the audience the young man who is about to start a new journey confidently say: "I'm ready!" About the author: Diane Tavenner She is the founder of new American education concepts

Wonderful book reviews: 1: Short review #? I actually sneered in my heart when I saw a lot of recommendations at the beginning, but after reading a few pages of the text, I knew I was wrong.

This is indeed a very, very good book.

Ms. Devenna's efforts really warmed my heart, and I even felt a little like crying when I saw many places.

#?Good education can truly change a person's life.

#?It is said to be on Bill Gates’ recommended book list. I bought it and read it, and I was so disappointed.

It feels like a pie-in-the-sky book.

Or maybe this book is not for me, but for people who really have the ability to change their environment?

The only things that inspire me are project-based learning methods, full use of online resources, and parents' need to remain curious and learn together with their children.

Because of the epidemic, I have experienced it more or less in real life, and the author’s touch makes it clearer.

In the learning process, if parents play the role of teachers or teaching assistants, I think it is difficult to sustain it. In other words, children cannot surpass themselves and should become book boys or partners.

#?Diana’s Summit Middle School should be the school that every child longs for, a school that truly considers children’s personal development.

The most special thing about Summit School is that it hopes that all children can use their talents to enter college.

It should prepare every child for the future life.

Because of the influence of the environment in which Diana grew up, and because she had her own child, she hoped that her child could live a better life that was more suitable for him.

Therefore, we decided to establish this truly people-oriented middle school to cultivate children's ability to learn independently and discuss social issues in groups, stimulate children's inner drive, and enable them to become useful people in society.
