Intelligence: The Great Lie
A thoroughly researched book, uncovering the greatest conspiracy over the past two centuries that directly affects the opportunities in education and life for you and for your children.
It used to be said intelligence comes though bloodlines. Then, genes were discovered and scientists started to argue how much is decided by inheritance and how much by experience. They are still arguing about this 120 years later. What if this is wrong? In a fascinating book, which took decades of research, the author leads us into the reality of a very great political conspiracy that began 200 years ago and is kept active today through discreet strategies in society and school designed to open or close doors of opportunity according to social standing, skin color, religion or ethnic background, all set to maintaining the status quo.
In one of the most important books of the 21st century, the author reveals why this conspiracy was created and why is it still maintained today. A conspiracy designed to affect your life and the opportunities of your child. Neither Society nor School was ever meant to be fair. Find out why “ The Great Lie"
“Roy's books are never dull, not even for a moment. Beautifully written! Roy has written in such a way that anyone can pick up his books and understand where he is coming from and where he is going in his thoughts, that offer profound insight into what is wrong with school, and why we need to change the ways we are preparing our children for the world they will live in.I would recommend that ALL educators read his books, especially “Teacher, Parent, Child,” as they will definitely be refreshed and challenged to re-think their position as teachers in these challenging times." * Rachel Wong. Principal. Malaysia “Roy’s series of books are very important, which should be read by every parent and educator in the world. They represent a real breakthrough in our understanding of what intelligence is and how it develops, and the importance of changing the ways students are both parented and educated. Roy is doing for learning the work that is as significant as was that done in the past by such figures as John Dewey. These are must-reads for both parents and educators alike.” * Prof/Dean Emeritus David Martin Ph.D Gallaudet University Washington, D.C. USA "Roy's series of books clearly and methodically map out exactly how students learn. He isn't afraid to address head-on the many misconceptions that are plaguing our society and thus having a negative impact on our students’ learning. Parents and educators who read these books will not only have a better understanding, but will also be inspired to change in their attitudes and preconceived notions on how students can excel in their learning. If you've ever wanted to unravel how student's learn, then these books are the answer you have been looking for! They should be mandatory reading for every parent and educator." * Erin Calhoun. National Institute of Learning Development. USA “Dear Roy, What you have done should reach out to all the parents, parents-to-be and other practitioners such as kindergarten teachers, primary and secondary teachers. You have done extraordinary work!" * Chun Hong Zong. Educator. China
"These books should be in the library of each school in every corner of the world. They should also be part of the syllabus in the institutions who are offer child psychology, and teacher training diplomas and degree programs, or at least they should be the part of a refresher course." * M.Imran Khan. CEO AIMMS Universities. UAE.
