Excerpts
- You may be surprised at what may be a turning point for your child.
- We call ourselves freaks, because if we were not freaks, we would be nothing. Page 109
- Each and every incident was critical to both the adolescent and to the parent. One is trying to maintain control and one is trying to obtain control, but at any given moment we are never sure who is trying to do what. Page 72
- We, as parents are the POWER!
-
We need to support our students. If they wish to shoot for the stars --- who are we to say they can't. Page 217
-
Are report cards telling the whole truth? Don't bet your child's educational future on a report card. Remember teachers may be evaluated on the passing/failing ratio in their classroom. Page 222
-
Instead of failing a student, the teacher would give that student an unearned (or rather an unlearned) passing grade. Page 183
-
We are not trying to place blame. We are trying to take control and accept responsibility for our child's education. Page 181
-
It is never too late to take control of our child's education. It's never too late to be the advocate our child needs. Page 178
-
The key words are Opportunity and Choice. We should always have the opportunity and choice concerning the education of our children. What I have observed is we do not.
-
Don't let the school system tell your child" they can't". Your student's motivation and your support will certainly compensate for what your child may lack in academic ability. How many times can a child hear the words "You aren't capable", before they will start to believe it? Page 216
A Note from the Author
Welcome! If you are looking at my website, hopefully, that means you have finished reading "Wake Up, Parents!!!". Now the real job begins, so I hope you are ready to really invest time into the education of your child.
This site is for you, the parent, and will have many sites for your student. If there is a topic you would like discussed or a link you would like to have added please let me know. If it's within my power, it will be. My goal in developing this website is that it will become your "one stop shopping" in trying to learn more about truly educating your child.
My vision for your student is that your child’s education will now become a journey instead of an endeavor. Looking forward to hearing from you -
