I found Cheri Fuller's Book Helping Your Child Succeed in Public School to be very encouraging. There are many people out there shooting down our public school system. I feel that this author not only believes strongly in our public school system but is placing the responsibility in the hands of Christian parents. She brings out a very good point...If all christian parents choose isolation and do not get involved in their child's education, we will be in a sad state. My impression of the book is two-fold. 1 - She confirmed that I've been doing a lot of things correctly. 2 - She challenged me to be proactive with specific ways to support the system (not all come to mind if one has not been an educator). I look forward to reading her next book!

Helping Your Child Succeed in the Public School offers some encouragement and ideas for parents with school age children. The real life examples cited feel less than authentic -- as though the author got them to say what she wanted them to say. They stuck out in the text. I was also looking for a more practical, down to earth book. While praying about school is fine, there is more every day roll up your sleeves work that can be done.
