Caring Educators are Crucial in the Teachings of Children.
Regardless what your environmental surroundings are "in the hood," you can succeed. Right Reggie?

For those who need to know "the why" of parent involvement!
Clark, writing about why many poor black kids succeed in school, gives us the clue to what works for all kids, with every parent, regardless of the race or socioeconomic status of the family.In fact, what Clark gives us is the knowing that it is not the structure of the family that determines school sucess but rather the kinds of experiences the family provides the child that nurture within that child a love for learning.Clark identifies a number of powerful and effective environmental factors that distinguish across all social strata low achieving from high achieving students.This book is for every person, but especially for teachers and school administrators who ever needed to know the "why", the "what for", and the "how" of strong, contagious, and empowering parental involvement in the "business" of the school. Read this book and learn from it.It truly speaks to the differnce that committed schools -- being peopled by caring educators -- can really make with ALL students. Jim Moore ... Read more

Little Treasure
I read this fabulous book! There were so many great points. . . like the part where the author realizes that when working from home you may have to "toot your own horn." That is so true. I remember those days. I sure wish I would have had this book and all of its wisdom during my home office days! I may have enjoyed the experience a little better. Thanks for putting together this little treasure!

She's Right on the Money
I have been working from a home office since 1994.Ms. Jernegan is right on the money for setting up a first time home office or tightening up an already existing operation.She blends a good combination of the discipline required and the flexibility that make up the world of working from home.My only "displeasure" with her advice is that her sample daily schedule starts the day at 5:00 AM!She does say that we set our own schedules, just be sure to have one.Mine starts a bit later. A must read for anyone working from home or even thinking about it.

Great book!
This is a great book- concise, to the point, well written. A must read for anyone planning to telecommute.

This is an easy read, humorous with good tips on working from a home office. If you are starting a home office it helps you develop the right formula for success; if you have a home office it's a good reminder of things to watch for since you can get too comfortable and sloppy. I've worked from a home office for 15 years and found ideas to increase my productivity and focus.
