Helping Your Child Succeed in Public School

Rating:
Summary: ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
Review: Helping Your Child Succeed in the Public School offers some encouragement and ideas for parents with school age children. The real life examples cited feel less than authentic -- as though the author got them to say what she wanted them to say. They stuck out in the text. I was also looking for a more practical, down to earth book. While praying about school is fine, there is more every day roll up your sleeves work that can be done.

Summary: Frustrated w/ Public School? PRAY AND Roll up Sleeves
Review: I found Cheri Fuller's Book Helping Your Child Succeed in Public School to be very encouraging. There are many people out there shooting down our public school system. I feel that this author not only believes strongly in our public school system but is placing the responsibility in the hands of Christian parents. She brings out a very good point...If all christian parents choose isolation and do not get involved in their child's education, we will be in a sad state. My impression of the book is two-fold. 1 - She confirmed that I've been doing a lot of things correctly. 2 - She challenged me to be proactive with specific ways to support the system (not all come to mind if one has not been an educator). I look forward to reading her next book!
