Books That Have Influenced Our Thinking

Two Important Books by Alfie Kohn

Punished by Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's, Praise, and Other Bribes -- This book more than any other pushed us into the decision to homeschool. It is not essentially a book about homeschooling, but about the cultural trend to use incentives and bribes as a means of getting things done.

No Contest: The Case Against Competition -- Alfie Kohn's earlier book delves into the "I win/you lose" ethos of competition.
