Summary: Absolute Must Read
Comment: This is practical advice that is easy to follow and so necessary for helping your middle school child. This book gave me the confidence to get my 13 year old to get out his notebooks, show me what he had to do, and told him that if his grades were not acceptable, I would be checking his notebook more frequently. I realize I only have a short window of time until I will leave it totally up to him and this book gives great suggestions for getting your student on their way to a successful educational experience.

Summary: every parent should read this book NOW
Comment: Everyday you read about the host of problems with our educational system. Finally, someone has written a book for parents that gives them specific and helpful advice for helping their children reach their potential. I'm already a big fan after A is for Admission which is still THE guide for selective college admissions. As such, I was especially happy to see this more general book that attacks such issues as what kind of involvement parents should have in their children's homework, how much help they should give their children, how to deal with a variety of problems that crop at up both private and public schools and how to handle teacher conflicts in a diplomatic matter.
Even more helpful is the reading list and the grade by grade math guide that will help you see if your child's school is on target and providing a strong curriculum. The reading list is useful even for high school students since she includes lots of advanced choices. The writing style is lucid and sharp. I'm grateful to the author for sharing her years of educational experience with readers who have a vested interest in our children's education. If more parents read her book, we'd have many fewer problems in our schools.

Summary: The Middle School Years
Comment: Ms. Hernandez's book, The Middle School Years, is a great parental blueprint for the middle school years and beyond. We have found ourselves referring back to the text often as new developmental issues with our middle school student arise (e.g., school choice, standardized testing, study skills, etc). Ms Hernandez's observations are insightful and clearly based on substantial experience in the field. It is uncanny how she anticipates the concern, questions and anxiety that parents of middle school students have, and then, proposes wise counsel on the relevant issues.
Parents often say that the second child going through the school system is the one who benefits the most, because the parents learned a great deal from the first child's school experience. Ms. Hernandez's book, The Middle School Years, is like having a first child through the school system already.
