Summary: Killer Tools!
Comment: Just when you thought you knew everything about teaching; along comes another book claiming to do it better.
Well, this little book packs a punch so powerful that you might well be forced to re-evaluate your thinking and un-learn some ineffective habits and replace them with some of the recommendations offered by H. Stephen Glenn and Michael L. Brock.
Even if you have been teaching for some time, these ideas are fresh and simple enough to begin applying during your next lesson.
Even though the advice is geared towards the parent, it can and should be thoroughly studied by teachers of all levels from Primary to University. An awareness of the comparative stages of mental ability and emotional development will enable the teacher to identify and adapt the appropriate approach needed.
The book is not long on theory, it cuts straight to the heart of the matters discussed with practical and concrete recommendations.
For example, a anxious and impatient parent at a Parent-Teacher Orientation meeting, wanting to know the single most effective thing they can do to promote their child's lifelong success in education, is promptly told:
"Sit down to dinner with the television off every evening for 30-45 minutes".
So, at least for me, its "Back to the Drawing Board"; time to clean the mental attic again on the road to becoming a better teacher.
Thank you, H. Stephen Glenn and Michael L. Brock for sharing your ideas.

Summary: Where's the Beef?
Comment: Does your child's notebook explode upon opening? Does your child do homework every night after supper and yet bring home dozens of missing assignment reports from school? Does your child come home with the book but no idea what the assignment is? Or perhaps with the assignment and not the book? Does your child frequently have no idea what the words of an assignment actually mean? Does your child weep over the tedium of homework assignments whose worth they cannot comprehend? Does your child go off to school in the morning moderately happy but come home looking beaten down by life? Are you looking for help for such a child? If so, don't look for the answers in this book. There is not a whisper of how to help the organizationally-impaired student. (P.S., If anybody knows of such a book, or can write such a book, please let the world know.)

Summary: Principles that are easy to understand and apply
Comment: This book helps you focus on the long term outcome. It answers the question "What do you really want for your children 20 years from now?" And leads you to everyday practices that you can implement to get to that point. Good, poignant stories that help you see with your heart as well as your head. Practical proactive advice that will help you to parent in a way that feels good to you and to your child. For those parents who are looking for an alternative to the shame and blame route.
I highly recommend it!
