Save Our Children

this book highlights issues within today’s educational system. It argues that challenges stem not from the home environment but from school insensitivity and lower expectations. The book advises parents on how to resist misconceptions held by white teachers to prevent their children from being unfairly suspended or placed in special education. It offers knowledgeable advice and sympathetic solutions for confronting racism, classism, lack of understanding, and lack of appreciation for cultural differences. Drawing from a wealth of experience, the book teaches parents about their rights to advocate for a quality education for their children, including how to evaluate schools and explore alternative options to unacceptable ones.
