Two Ivy League students with learning disabilities and ADHD reveal how to achiee academic success.

Learning Outside the Lines

Learning Outside the Lines


By Jonathan Mooney and David Cole
Every day, your school, your teachers, and even your peers draw lines to measure and standardize intelligence. They decide what criteria make one person smart and another person stupid. They decide who will succeed and who will just get by.
Perhaps you find yourself outside the norm, because you learn differently - but, unlike your classmates, you have no system in place that consistently supports your ability and desire to learn. Simply put, you are considered lazy and stupid. You are expected to fail.
Learning Outside the Lines is written by two such "academic failures" -- that is, two academic failures who graduated from Brown University at the top of their class. They show you how to take control of your education and find true success, and they offer all the reasons why you should persevere.
Witty, bold, and disarmingly honest, this book takes you on a journey toward personal empowerment and profound educational change, proving once again that traditional ideas are not always right. 288 pages. 2000.
