ABSTRACT
Susan Isaacs had an enormous variety of interests. While she was preparing her second book based on the Malting House experience Susan wrote a series of twenty four articles in The Teacher's World. These were brought together for teachers in a book called "The Children We Teach". The language used to describe academically less able children and the concentration on the influence on heredity apart, The Children We Teach provides an inspiring view of the way in which the best teachers can capture the interests of children and promote learning even in the less able. In 1932 Susan completed the second book based on her observations of the Malting House School children and this was published in 1933. Her second book Social Development of Young Children was superficially rather similar to the first, with large sections devoted to quotations from the children's speech, interspersed with commentary.
