Описание книги

There are people who believe you can't change things and then there are people who shift things. Roger Wilkerson is one of the latter, with a unique talent for finding solutions to complex problems.
Roger's focus is assisting children, particularly those who have been labeled disruptive due to ADD/ADHD/ODD. These children often have fallen victim to the challenges of over-testing without basic instruction in core subjects such as mathematics, reading, writing, and verbal expression skills.
Homework Sanity: Insights for Parents from a Private Tutor is a tool to aid parents in partnering with their child to learn, rather than descending into the unappreciative trap of the Homework Monitor from Hell.
Born in Columbus, Ohio, Roger is based out of Los Angeles, California. He loves traveling and has lived in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Saudi Arabia and Thailand. His one-on-one tutoring services are employed worldwide.

Отрывок из книги

“Listen up, class. In this world, if you’re good at something, you can make a living.”

-Mrs. Crabtree, my 1st- and 2nd-grade Teacher

.....

Greg and I agreed that having Amy add a few paragraphs would be a smart addition.

I truly believe that there are no accidents in life. Even when there are negatives, they usually lead to positives if our intentions are pure and our minds are willing to open up and learn. My eldest niece was entering middle school and having academic issues that no one could tackle—no one except Roger. I had seen a number of tutors come and go from my sister’s home, but none of them seemed to have that magic touch. With my degrees in English and education, I even thought I would be able to help, but it didn’t prove to be that easy. My niece didn’t need someone checking that all of her answers were correct so her grade would improve; she needed help letting go of her anxiety and realizing that everyone learns differently.
