It prioritizes a single way of understanding the world over all others, pushes children into a rigid set of grades with little regard for individual maturity, and slaps “disability” labels on differences in learning style. Caught in this system, far too many young learners end up discouraged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis informed, compassionate, and practical guidebook will show you how to take control of your child’s K–12 experience and negotiate the school system in a way that nurtures your child’s mind, emotions, and spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand why we have twelve grades, and why we match them to ages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvaluate your child’s maturity, and determine how to use that knowledge to your advantage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFind out what subject areas we study in school, why they exist—and how to tinker with them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscover what learning disabilities and intellectual giftedness are, how they can overlap, how to recognize them, and how those labels can help (or hinder) you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork effectively with your child’s teachers, tutors, and coaches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearn to teach important subjects yourself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChallenge accepted ideas about homework and standardized testing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelp your child develop a vision for the future.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReclaim your families’ priorities (including time for eating together, playing, imagining, traveling, and, yes, sleeping!).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlan for college—or apprenticeships.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsider out-of-the-box alternatives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan Wise Bauer\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer, educator, and historian.
