Review:Leonard Sax has the experience and credentials to support this timely work. He effectively identifies and addresses social, educational, and behavioral issues of children and connects these factors back to the home. The emphasis of this book is not putting blame on parents. The focus is on identifying current factors, explaining how the situations developed, and suggesting what can be done about it. This book is written in a clear manner for a general audience. It is the first book I have come... Read more

Review:In lieu of Columbine and other school shootings, this one could be described as more horrible than most, given the way it was conducted, the age of the children involved and the dynamics that set up the perpetrator's actions. The question of firearms, firearm violence and mental health are equally exposed as critical issues for the future.

The author was pretty matter of fact in the descriptions of events, the circumstances leading up to the shootings and the pain suffered by families an... Read more

Review:I have great respect for the men and women involved in WWll. I have read many books about their bravery. This book reveals much of their personal feelings. It helps to humanize their sacrifices. That was my parents generation. I wish young people today could have the respect I have for this generation! This book might help! Read more

Review:This workbook/grammar review does its job well. Jane Straus has organized the material well. The practice exercises are brief and to the point, and she covers the major points--those problem points that so easily trip us up in our writing. I find the material very useful. Read more

Review:The Bob Books series is an excellent starter in the phonics based read for those children eager to begin their love for reading. The Amazon prices are the best by far. Pick up a few levels and get their free shipping. Your kids will feel as they have accomplished so much when they finish each book in the level you have purchased. High recommend. Read more

Review:This was required text for my Educational Psychology course.

Luckily .. the book is very detailed with many examples, because my teacher just breezed over most topics. We had to learn everything from the textbook.

The content can get dry at times...more the topic then the layout. The book does a good job of adding lots of extras to keep you interested. Read more

Review:Shout out to all Educators - Read this Book! The writing is amazing; feels like you are having a conversation rather than being preached to. Deeply resonated with me about teaching and learning practices. If we still teach the way we were taught - than it's time for change. You will be inspired and encouraged to take the LEAP and start initiating change within your classroom. Read more

Review:Ms. Sandberg is an accomplished person, do doubt. I read 40-50 books per year, and was attracted to this work because I have four daughters, three of which are out of school and working in professions. I very much want them to be successful. The first five CDs are verbatim to "Lean-in" which is largely a B-M-C manifesto on how the world is wrong for women . . . in other words, no "solutions orientation." I expected WAY more from someone with Sandberg's capabilities. Likewise, she cites Glor... Read more
