Writers Live - Lucy Clark introduces Beautiful Failures
25th Aug '16 @ Berkelouw Mona Vale


Default_lucy-clark

You are invited to meet Lucy Clark when she introduces her new book Beautiful Failures.

In November 2014, journalist Lucy Clark published an article that resonated with hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Sharing the story of her eldest daugher, whose high school experience was a daily battle, Lucy chose to look at her daughter's educational "failure" another way: by rethinking the meaning of success. 

The overwhelming response to her article led her to explore the pressure-cooker world of 21st century education, the way we measure success, and how it can be harmful to kids. She challenges accepted wisdoms about schooling and asks some vital questions about the pressure on kids, the definition of success, the competitiveness of parents and the reasons kids become disengaged.
