In Rethinking School: How to Take Charge of Your Child's Education, Susan Wise Bauer challenges conventional wisdom about the K-12 education system. She argues that the system's rigidity often fails to accommodate the individual needs and growth of children, particularly those who struggle in a traditional classroom environment. With experience and humor, Bauer encourages parents to adapt the system to fit their child, rather than forcing the child to conform to the system. She provides a comprehensive guide for parents to navigate the educational landscape, offering advice for dealing with learning differences, maturity issues, toxic environments, and the challenges faced by gifted children. Drawing on her experience as a homeschooling parent, educational consultant, and university teacher, Bauer's book is a valuable resource for parents seeking to protect and nurture their child's mind, emotions, and spirit within the K-12 system.
