Comment: I was so impressed with The Excellent 11 that I got from the library that I bought my own copy. As I read the book I found myself saying that I wish I have had that quality in my life when I was a kid. After watching children, I believe that the more of these qualities they have then the better students they are. I will definitely apply some of his ideas to my students.
