Homeschool: Do Hard Things by Alex & Brett Harris

Do you have trouble getting your kids to strive for excellence?  I recently acquired the book Do Hard Things by Alex & Brett Harris.  These are teen age teens who are writing for their peers.  The book is a challenge for teens to move out of their comfort zones and rebel against low expectations.  They call it a rebellution.  I assigned this book to my son last week as required reading.  I asked him how he liked it so far and he said he liked it.  He was impressed that Chuck Norris had written the forward to the book.  I guess a lot of teens like Chuck Norris, so that caught his attention right off.  I'll be curious to see how he responds to the rest of the book.
