A Family Affair2000

Relatively minor problems in school can have far-reaching consequences on family life. Drawing on a series of interviews with parents, this book provides an insiders view of what happens at home when school goes wrong. These stories reveal that school troubles threaten the happiness and self-esteem of children; disrupt relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, and siblings; and, in general, deny parents and children many of the pleasures of family life.--From publisher's description.
