parenting "A" students (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781541002753)

Grade school introduces a host of new experiences to your child's life, including new friends, new concepts, and the importance of doing your best. But the school system can't guarantee that your child will perform up to his or her full potential. That's where you come in.

Lola E. Soby is a grade school teacher with nearly thirty years of experience. In that time, she has seen the difference an involved parent can make in raising a student who reaches the highest levels of academic excellence.

Each chapter in this book is dedicated to one aspect of school that plays an important role in a student's education and how as a parent you can help your student do his or her best in that area. Reading at home, ensuring your child speaks with correct grammar, assisting with field trips, and knowing when to turn off the electronics are just a few of the topics covered.

With advice stemming from a teacher with years of experience and a desire to truly help children succeed, this book is full practical tips that will benefit any parent-and student.
