No Contest by Alfie Kohn
Updated for the 1990s, the award-winning book that stands as the definitive critique of competition. Kohn says that contrary to accepted wisdom, competition is not basic to human nature, but actually poisons our relationships, damages our self-esteem, and holds us back from doing our best. Includes new matial on cooperative learning in the classroom. By perceiving that cooperation is the answer, not competition, Alfie Kohn opens a new world of living.--Dr. W. Edwards Deming.According to Time magazine, Alfie Kohn is arguably the country's most outspoken opponent of education's obsession on grades [and] test scores.
