Surviving Today's Schools The Inside Story

'œOur schools are failing!' We hear this message on the radio, see it on TV and the Internet, and read it in print. Contrary to this message, Dr. Durham, in her 30 years in education, has witnessed and been a recipient of and a participant in all that is right with our children's schools and their parents. Surviving Today's Schools: The Inside Story shares these proven parenting and educational techniques, then goes one step further in enumerating ideas, strategies, and activities that will help the parent and educators collaborate in and for the best interest of the child. This will be done through realistic suggestions and usable material, and authenticated by many poignant, amusing, and shocking anecdotes. Successful students are those whose parents value education and become supportive of and involved in the process, as evidenced in this book. Home and school are not separate entities a child's life; they mesh together to be the child's life.Durham, Guinevere is the author of 'Surviving Today's Schools The Inside Story', published 2003 under ISBN 9781592867912 and ISBN 159286791X.
