I gave this book a 5 star rating simply because I could not put it down! It was easy to read and understand. The author, Ronald K. Peirce gave many suggestions on ways a parent can get involved in their child's education. He suggested the Child Centered School and I feel this is truly the way schools should be today. The public school system needs to be changed. Kids are bored, have disipline problems, and are simply not learning in the public school system. The Child Centered School focuses on the individual child. The teachers are basically there to guide the student along as each child can move at their own pace. No grades! It works!
