Why do I need a teacher when I've got Google? is just one of the challenging, controversial and thought-provoking questions Ian Gilbert poses in his long-awaited follow up to the classic Essential Motivation in the Classroom.

Questioning the unquestionable, this fully updated new edition will make you re-consider everything you thought you knew about teaching and learning, such as:
• Are you simply preparing the next generation of unemployed accountants?
• What do you do for the 'sweetcorn kids' who come out of the education system in pretty much the same state as when they went in?
• What's the real point of school?
• Exams - So whose bright idea was that?
• Why 'EQ' is fast becoming the new 'IQ'.
• What will your school policy be on brain-enhancing technologies?
• Which is the odd one out between a hamster and a caravan?
