Review: this is the book to buy.

It covers how to be an active parent even if you can't homeschool, how to help your child with their homework, how to address your concerns to teachers, and, if necessary, the school board, how to communicate with other parents, and a wealth of other information that parents need in order to insure that their child receives the best possible education. The book is realistic in addressing the impact of various situations upon a child-- is it better to be a teacher's pet or overly disciplined? How much homework is too much? Is competition truly necessary? This is a book that every parent-- or anyone who's contemplating parenthood-- should own.
