HELP MAKE A BOOK REVIEW FOR STUDENT BETTERMENT

The KC Star and local book review media such as Rainyday Books do not address the issues of Kansas City and local authors as they could.  I have written and sent book copies to said media outlets and none will respond with an interview or book review.  In fact, their silence is deafening.  I have written a book about how to support a student so he or she will realize a gain in educational success.  The media reports on how the district and proponents wish to change a district.  District change will not guarantee student success.  Student success will guarantee district change.  It takes all of us, teacher, parent, administrator, community member, to work with the student.  It takes a village to educate a child.  Start the dialogue with me at graspeducation.blogspot.com.  Help me gain a book review / interview in the Kansas City area.  You will be glad to read my book and discover at least one avenue to help our students better themselves educationally, better the school district, better the community and better our national interests.  Thanks and I look forward to your input on the blog and in starting a dialogue to change the KC district by improving student educational success.

SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND SCHOOL STUDENTS

School districts around the country are not living up to the standards set in No Child Left Behind mandates.   I am not criticizing the mandates, I am criticizing the manner the 'powers that be' are tying to fix.  The Superintendents and the Boards are trying give the districts a fix without addressing the student performance.  All the reports keep stating the future of the students is the focus.  This is bunk.  If a district needs improvement then firstly gain student improvement.  Focus on students doing better then the district will naturally become fixed.  Students must have one goal.  This goal is to the present in class, be attentive in class and pass the daily assignment with comprehension of the subject.  If this is met, the district will improve.  To hire new Superintendents, read my book for a practical view about Superintendent positions in a school or to elect new Board members will not fix a student performance.  It is a student up approach not a Superintendent down approach to gain a better school district.  Who will join me on this quest?  Where are all the voices and joint dialogues for this approach?  Please contribute to this blog so I can start to unite us.  Silence is deafening about under performing school districts which parallels under performing students.  Let's start today and come together.
