Abstract: This handbook for parents assumes that there is nothing wrong with their child but that there is something wrong with the school system. It assumes that parents know what their children need to survive and that the one-sided, professional approach to learning is not working as well as school authorities say that it is. The authors of the booklet believe that parents want the best for their children but often feel helpless in finding their way through the school system's bureaucracy. This handbook states what some of the rights of children and parents are, and how to go about obtaining them. It lists the names of people who are responsible for the child's education and the proper channels to follow. It is stated that this is a handbook for parents who want their children to have more than they did. (Author/WS)
