Picky Parent Guide: Choose Your Child's School with Confidence, the Elementary Years (K-6)
Bryan C. Hassel and Emily Ayscue Hassel, Armchair Press May 2004
This book, the flagship title for a new education series, is an easy-to-read reference guide for parents. It's divided into six steps (such as Get the Scoop on Schools and Make Your Choice, Make it Happen) that lead parents through the school choice decision-making process. It also includes the latest research on school quality, practical advice on matters like how to "secure a slot for your child," and tables and worksheets (termed "Confident Choice" tools) to help parents choose the right school for their kids. Imitating the "Idiot's Guide" self-help series, Picky Parent does an excellent job of taking the numerous issues surrounding school choice and condensing them into digestible bites. Look for it in bookstores, at http://www.armchairpress.com, or check out http://www.PickyParent.com.
