In The Straight A Handbook: The 50 Most Powerful Secrets For Ultimate Success In And Out Of The Classroom, Dr. Chuback shares the skills, techniques, and philosophies which are the key to success in school, work, and life. Drawing from his unusually lengthy and rigorous academic experience, which led to a challenging, but equally rewarding career, Dr. Chuback brings a rare expertise to the subject of academic excellence and the inner growth of the individual.
Almost everything taught in these pages are ideas and lessons which arose from real life experiences which he encountered on his journey to becoming a successful surgeon, entrepreneur, and inventor. The essential message is that these are proven and reproducible steps that will help anyone ascend great heights. It is Dr. Chuback’s belief that if one were to master even 10 of the 50 skills outlined in this book, a student’s success would not only be extremely likely, but practically inevitable.
Chuback has used these techniques with his 3 children; two of whom are currently working to receive a law degree and one of whom graduates from high school this May.
My Thoughts
2020 opened my eyes to a lot of things in the world -- including how I was approaching helping my children get through high school. They are in the final phase before becoming an adult -- and I discovered that even I was struggling with who I am in regards to my career path. I don't want to work just to pay the bills. The message within these pages extends far beyond students in a classroom setting. they can, with practice and dedication, be applied in all aspects of our lives.
I learned how to approach the "What do you want to be when you grow up?" talk with my youngest son, who is finishing up his freshman year of high school. Within a few weeks, he's set his eyes on a big goal of completing his CNA by the end of high school and transitioning into pharmaceuticals in college. My oldest son is set on technical school and even applied for the chance to start early during his senior year this coming fall. Unfortunately, that's left up to a luck of a draw, but he is now using some of the techniques to prepare himself for a career in HVAC. Proud mama moment here!
This book is going to be one that I hold onto for years to come. It's a valuable resource that all educators and parents alike need to check out!
