I've read a little of his writing here: <a href="http://www.britannica.com/blogs/2009/02/alfie-kohn-is-bad-for-you-and-dangerous-for-your-children/." rel="nofollow">http://www.britannica.com/blogs/2009/02/alfie-kohn-is-bad-for-you-and-dangerous-for-your-children/.</a> And while not a huge Alfie Kohn fan, he has a well thought out response here: <a href="http://www.britannica.com/blogs/2009/02/alfie-kohns-reply-to-daniel-willingham/" rel="nofollow">http://www.britannica.com/blogs/2009/02/alfie-kohns-reply-to-daniel-willingham/</a> which makes me a little skeptical going into Willingham's book. So if its predominantly to support the book, I might not be the best participant for this.

I am planning on getting the book tonight and signing up once it is in my hands. Looking forward to having an opportunity to have a great conversation about the book!
