Parents and Students in Educational Battles Find Relief in New Book
A new book promises to help bring empowerment and aid to weary parents and students who have been frustrated, confused and hurt by the politics of education in schools and colleges across the United States.
(Philadelphia Pa, 2007) --Do you have a child in school or college? Are you a student? Are you an employee or volunteer of an educational system or federally funded program? Do you home school or cyber-school and have felt the sting of discrimination from your district?
Do you feel your child’s needs are not being considered by their school?
Do you have a child with an IEP? A GIEP?
Are you ignored and patronized by administrators?
Been the target of sexual comments or assault at your university? Violence? Harassment?
Are you an employee who feels caught in the crossfire?
Are you a parent who is trying to obtain records, or a student who has had their private educational files distributed?
Are your rights, safety or educational opportunities compromised?
Have you been told to “not worry” and to “discuss it over the phone or meeting” as opposed to getting it in writing?
A “YES” to any of these questions means that you may need the new, ground-breaking book, “The Pocket Guide to Educational Advocacy” by Michele M. Paiva, a member of the American Trial Lawyers Association, a former investigative reporter and national legal victims advocate who has versed every size college from small elementary schools to Ivy League Universities.
This easy to follow guide is your first step in empowerment.
Educational systems can sometimes intimidate and manipulate; they may have policies on paper but those policies may not be adhered to with the responsibility or education that they deserve. Alternatively, the school or college may be doing all that they can and it is up to you to know when to fight a battle or accept the reality of what is and what is not legal and ethical.
This is the starting point in which to ascertain the situation and bring positive closure, and sometimes, empowerment and rights to the forefront. This guide is packed with valuable information, mock letters and communications that you can use, and specific processes on how to file complaints to the Department of Education as well as inside tips on how to protect yourself or your child, and your rights.
The book will be available from Rain Publishing Inc. www.rainbooks.com Michele Paiva is available for signings, lectures, discussions and other events nationally. www.michelepaiva.com and www.globalmediaguru.com
