Paul Mac Associates, an educational consulting firm, developed this unique “PARENT’S HANDBOOK” in response to the many questions and problems being asked of teachers and guidance counselors at parent-teacher conferences and through home and school communication. The content is aimed at developing the “total child”. The suggestions offer solutions or head off problems that students, parents and teachers are experiencing daily in today’s advanced educational system.
The document focuses on establishing an educational framework through organizational procedures in conjunction with improving the rapport parents can have with their child and the school.
While many of the suggestions contained in the document may seem logical, they are frequently missed or overlooked by parents who, in today’s fast paced world, have to cope with many stresses and tend to miss the obvious.
The e-book is presented in a concise, structured and easy-to-read format at a cost of $4.50. It is specifically designed to help parents in their efforts to provide their child with the tools they will use throughout their educational career.

” Good Ideas, Sound Advice “
” This handbook provided parents and students with an excellent summary of advice on organizing school work and meeting educational objectives.
Its value lies in the good organization, brevity and the clearly states good ideas and advice.
There is a tendency to confuse “education” with “knowledge”. The importance of knowledge is recognized but the most important part of education is the establishment of good work habits, attitudes and values.
To be able to complete a task “decently and in good order” is one of the most important results for the individual in the educational process. A well organized school and home environment provides for this. The handbook gives excellent advice on how to accomplish it.
One of the most valuable assets of this publication is it its organization into sections dealing with problems common to age groups; kindergarten, primary, secondary and high school.
Although the main thrust of the material is aimed at parents, the last two sections on tests and projects will be found valuable by all students including those at university or college. The advice given to parents and students on how to prepare for them is excellent.
This book should be available to every teacher. Parents will find it very valuable. “
