Twenty-six million American families have elementary school-aged
children. Many of these parents are plagued with a wide range of
questions and doubts about how to help their children succeed in school:
How do I choose the best school for my child? Do good parents have to
join the PTO? What's the best way to request a particular teacher? What
should I ask in a parent-teacher conference? How can I convince my child
not to do homework in front of the TV? What do I do if my child isn't
being challenged at school? How can I help my child get organized so he
doesn't forget to do his homework?
Some families eventually learn the answers to these questions through
trial and error, but for many, this information trickles in too slowly
to optimally benefit their children. School Sense: How to Help Your
Child Succeed in Elementary School gives parents a head start by
providing them with the information they need to make the most of their
children's elementary school experience.
