Product Information
David McCullough, Jr.'s high school commencement address of 2012, dubbed "You Are Not Special," was a tonic for children, parents, and educators alike. With wit and a perspective earned from raising four children and teaching high school students for nearly thirty years, McCullough expands on his speech--taking a hard look at hovering parents, questionable educational goals, professional college prep, electronic distractions, and club sports--and advocates for a life of passionate engagement.Product Identifiers

ReviewsPraise for You Are Not Special : "Every once in a long while, a voice seems to come out of nowhere, and you wonder how you ever managed without [it]. David McCullough, Jr. has that startling, insightful, wry, reassuring, helpful voice and You Are Not Special may be the wisest 'parenting' book I've read in decades." -- Madeline Levine, author of author of The Price of Privilege and Teach Your Children Well
