?Recommended as a "working tool" for public school
administrators.?-Multicultural Review
?This volume arrives at a timely point in educational research.
Recent studies suggest black parents must become more involved in
their children's education, and Thompson's research responds to
these numerous calls for parental involvement. The avenue Thompson
takes, however, is a "common-sense" approach. She asks African
American parents what educational outcomes they desire for their
children. The purpose of the study is to provide relevant
information to educators and policy makers on (1) improving teacher
quality in schools; (2) suggesting ways parents can be more active
in educational settings....Highly recommended. Upper-division
undergraduates and above.?-Choice
