The suggestions are relevant to every class I teach. The insights into problems and pitfalls are certainly applicable to high-school teachers. The problems are beautifully described and analyzed with simple language.

The Seven Laws are indeed a timeless treasure of teaching with insight and wisdom. The Christian Church deserves a standard of excellence equal to any other institution in education. That standard is promoted in The Seven Laws.

The message of The Seven Laws is as appropriate to our educational process today as it was when they were initially written in 1884. The information is enlightening and helpful; I will be sharing this with my contemporaries in the educational field.
