A book every parent should read
Pastors are often the first to hear about a variety of family issues. Over the years a number of families have shared their concerns over a son or daughter who is struggling in school. And when the problem is the system itself, it's hard to know where to turn for assistance and direction.

Dr. Jenkins offers insight and hope to parents in such circumstances. He explains how the systemn works and doesn't work for kids who are not performing well in school. And he offers families another model for seeking help.

I found the book to be extrememly helpful and encouraging.
