Most agree that the main problem with contemporary education is that it fails to adequately prepare students with the "21st century skills" needed to find jobs and promote national competitiveness in the global economy. Tony Armstrong challenges both the morality and the consequences of pushing this purpose of education. He says it is immoral because it neglects our children's deepest aspiration--happiness--and treats them as mere cogs in the economic machine. Dr. Armstrong shows how methods of well-being based on happiness research--mindfulness, gratitude, perspective--can greatly improve kids' chances to feel better in the present and to live happier lives in the future. And the kindergarten-through-college "happiness pedagogy" he presents would also be a superior way to teach those "21st century skills.""--$$cProvided by publisher. 000888619 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000888619 650_0 $$aEducation$$xAims and objectives. 000888619 650_0 $$aEducation, Humanistic. 000888619 650_0 $$aEducational change. 000888619 650_0 $$aHappiness. 000888619 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aArmstrong, Anthony.$$tEducating angels : teaching for the pursuit of happiness.$$dMarion, Michigan : Parkhurst Brothers Publishers, Incorporated, 2013$$z9781624910135 000888619 830_0 $$aOur national conversation ;$$vvolume 15. 000888619 852__ $$bebk 000888619 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4428982$$zOnline Access 000888619 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:888619$$pGLOBAL_SET 000888619 980__ $$aEBOOK 000888619 980__ $$aBIB 000888619 982__ $$aEbook 000888619 983__ $$aOnline
