Why are some children angry? Why do children fail? What are “challenging behaviors?” What can be done to eliminate school violence?

We need not wait for Superman to save the child who falters in school. He exists only as a fantasy in the minds of men. He is powerless. We must turn our attention to the scientist who understands the intricate relationship between brain function and behavior. It is he who is unraveling the mysteries of complicated cellular activities that occur in the brain that produce movement (behavior). He recognizes that these processes account for complex human behaviors. Scientific knowledge empowers him to elucidate reasons that account for student underachievement in schools. It is he who will rescue him. Indeed, he is the true superhero. Make no mistake, it is not the child who does bad things in school; it is his brain that fails him.

"In just over 20 chapters, written in a simpler style than the earlier work, Dr. Jeheudi Mes Onyemachi Vuai presents the stories of children who, once in school, manifest great difficulty with learning, especially reading and language skills. In most instances, these children are tested and ultimately placed in special education programs. Others are dismissed, as it were, as simply having behavioural problems stemming from psychologically harmful home environments. Or they have ADHD. Or Dyslexia. Or Aphasia ... labels that Dr. Vuai explains later in the book. But what is it that Dr. Vuai really wants readers and educators to grasp? It's that many of the problems these children have are the result of neurological, not psychological problems...." Reader's Favorite Review- Five Star Rating
