A book that gives honest answers to honest questions that parents are asking about their children's education is sorely needed. Sometimes it is difficult for parents to negotiate through the language of education without the help of others. This book provides that help. The activities provide real-life examples of a wide range of issues, including smartphones, grading, and texting. This book is a wonderful resource for parents and college students learning to become teachers.

Dr. Giordano’s book takes a fresh look at the questions many parents ask about their children in school. His common sense approach tackles the questions we all have about improving student learning in a manner that is appropriate for a wide range of audiences including parents and professional educators alike.
