No Contest by Alfie Kohn
No Contest stands as the definitive critique of competition. Contrary to accepted wisdom, competition is not basic to human nature; it poisons our relationships and holds us back from doing our best. In this new edition, Alfie Kohn argues that the race to win turns all of us into losers.
According to Time magazine, Alfie Kohn is arguably the country's most outspoken opponent of education's obsession on grades [and] test scores. The Schools Our Children Deserve, The Argument Against Standardized Testing, and The Homework Myth are among his 13 books on education and human behavior. Kohn, a former teacher, now consults with schools across the country and talks at national conferences on a regular basis. He currently resides in Belmont, Massachusetts. and www.alfiekohn.org (virtually).
