Schoolwise: a Parent's Guide to Getting the Best Education for Your Child Martha Brown

SCHOOLWISE is a parent's guide from first grade through high school. As a parent and former teacher I know parents who speak up and work together can learn to deal with school problems. Among parents you'll meet in SCHOOLWISE are those who got rid of an incompetent teacher, though the principal did nothing; and other parents who persuaded their school to discard ineffective reading and math programs and adopt programs proven to help children succeed. "Brown, a former teacher, offers a common-sense approach for seeing that children get the best from any school system A book full of 'sure to get results' advice." -Library Journal
