Rethinking School: How to Take Charge of Your Child's Education

Highly recommended for any parent with a square peg child who is struggling to fit into the round holes of the current education system. She begins with an overview of why education in America is the way it is followed by why it just doesn't work for so many children. She then proceeds to outline a variety of ways to help make sure your child has an education that works for them.

This book provides a well-written, interesting and informative assessment of the American school system, how children do not necessarily fit into this system, how parents can help their children better deal with the school system, or by "flexing" the existing system to better accommodate their children. This book offers a great deal of practical advice in a situation where homeschooling is not an option and where the child does not fit into the school system. I recommend this book to every parent that has a child still stuck in the current education system.
