Keep up the great work and the lower price textbooks for us single mom's. who gets no help from a dead beat dad!

I bought this book because it was required for my class. It is well written and actually interesting. It gives strategies to help the school, community and parents work together. I did not give it all five stars because I wish that it had given even more strategies for working together. The authors covered the three areas of the home, school and community efficiently and completely. It is the most unbiased text in this area of study that I have found. Even homeschooling was covered in an unbiased and positive manner, accurately listing the pros and cons of the practice. Overall I was surprised to find a text that was actually readable and informative. While I wouldn't sit down and read this for pleasure, if I had to read a school text, this would be one I would choose to read.
