Synopsis
In one complete book, School Rights explains what your legal rights are in some of the major issues in education - teachers, testing, and curriculum - as well as some of the more controversial topics being discussed today, like school prayer, violence, home-schooling, and bilingual education.
Education experts stress that only by becoming active in your child's schooling can you make it better. And by drawing on the case studies and actual lawsuits that helped shape the American education system, School Rights shows how you can play a large role in its improvements. Here are step-by-step guidelines to approach any situation, including when to meet the principal, what to present to the school board, and how to set up a PTA subcommittee.

Review
The experience of being the parent or guardian of a child attending public school can be overwhelming. Whether you are dealing with an incompetent teacher, beginning (or ending) a school condom distribution program, or meeting the principal, it is helpful to know your rights. It's also helpful to have suggestions about what may or may not work in certain situations. Tom Condon and Patricia Wolff's School Rights: A Parent's Legal Handbook and Action Guide explains your legal rights in public education (testing, teachers, special education, policy, curriculum), stresses that parents needn't be passive, and, best of all, provides direct action plans for parents to follow. This book is designed for parents whose children are in public school, but it may be useful for private school parents as well, especially those whose kids are in need of special education assessment and services.
