I know this book, and I've used it successfully,
By
This review is from: Classrooms and Courtrooms : Facing Sexual Harassment in K-12 Schools (Paperback)
Okay, first off--the negative review below is worthless. Someone hasn't read the book at ALL. Nan Stein is the primary author of this book, and her work is REALLY well-done. She knows her facts, court cases, and strategies to a "T", and her book is easy to read and accurate. Don't review books you haven't read and then complain that ANOTHER author lacks credibility.I've met Stein, and attended a conference with her. I have this book, and it's covered in underlining now. A book like this should be primary required reading for school faculties and parents of bullied teens. The book describes actual court cases that have determined what schools' and students' rights are, and it examines the methods of bullying and harrassment. Options for students andparents are explored, and then successful school programs to combat bullying are described.

A Critical Issue For Parents and Educators,
This review is from: Classrooms and Courtrooms : Facing Sexual Harassment in K-12 Schools (Paperback)
As a former board of education member and adjunct professor, I commend the authors for bringing additional focus on this issue. As an employment attorney with experience in both profit and not-for profit organizations, harassment in schools and how to deal with it is very different than in the corporate world. More needs to be written on this issue. Educators, administrators, boards of education and teachers can gain alot from policies and training programs already established in the private sector.

Shallow as Only Pat Schroeder Can Be,
By A Customer
This review is from: Classrooms and Courtrooms : Facing Sexual Harassment in K-12 Schools (Paperback)
Not recomended. Better to wait until a person with a shred of credibility co-authors a book on this topic.
