Throughout his long and varied career as an educator, Steve Schmitz has been told one story, and asked one question, more than any other: I know my child is in grade trouble at school, Dr Schmitz, and it's making my life hellish at home. I've tried everything, and nothing works. What do I do now? To keep household conflict from escalating, and to show concerned parents how to be part of the solution, Schmitz put down in book form all the successful advice he's been dispensing for thirty years. He shares his practical methods with parents disturbed about their kids low levels of academic achievement. Because it patiently, and in plain language, explains how and where to begin, continue, and finish, 'Gradebusters' fundamentally empowers parents. So, if you're a frustrated parent whose children are working below their potential at school, read and apply Gradebusters. It will forever change your attitudes about parenting, your beliefs about your role in schooling, and your children's future.
