Alexa Stuart Frisbie's new book provides parents with a timely and practical guide to what all children need to be happy and successful as they learn. In her book, Ms. Frisbie, herself an award-winning teacher, teacher-trainer and parent, describes hidden causes for lackluster education — from teacher-bullies to disconnected curriculum — and practical fixes parents can use to hurdle over them. "The school system, even with the best of intentions," says the author, "can fail your child. My book will enable parents to understand common issues to help their children."
