I bought this because because every teacher needs some help working alongside parents. I have yet to have a class (undergraduate/graduate) where we have been taught how to collaborate with parents.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too much personal musings, October 12, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I would not recommend this for the layman. The author is telling too many of her own stories.
