The middle school years mark a critical transition period for young adolescents and their parents. This break-through volume empowers parents to advocate for the very best education for their children. By clearly explaining what adolescents need (and what makes them tick), this essential guide:
- Offers sound advice for choosing the right middle school and for working with teachers and principals.
- Describes, in the students’ own words, what they think about a range of issues, such as favorite and least favorite subjects, school safety, teacher quality, peer pressure, and parent-child relationships.
- Includes essential details from effective parent/middle school partnerships, including interviews with participants.
- Presents essential wisdom from two landmark books on middle school education, Turning Points (1989) and Turning Points 2000 (2000).
