Over the past two decades Dr. Ntung has worked in American schools as a classroom teacher, mentor, program coordinator, vice principal, and principal. The wealth of experience gathered from interacting with students and parents inspired him to write this book about parents and students.Have you ever held a meeting or conversation with a parent and after that said to yourself, "Now I know why Johnny acts the way he does." While most parents strive to support their children and communicate effectively, volatile or confrontational parents present many challenges for educators. The ability to defuse or redirect a potential crisis with a parent is vital to the success of a student in school. When parents get involved in their children’s education, the children do better in school, are better behaved, have more positive attitudes toward school and grow up to be more successful in life.When parents fail to be involved in their children’s education or are always quarrelling with the teacher and school leadership, it impacts the child’s educational performance.This book is an easy read of events that have occurred between parents and administrators in a public school. Dr. Ntung provides recommendations on how a leader should navigate their way when faced with different situations.
