Description: As a parent, you want to see your teen succeed in school and in life--and you do your best to help. But how do you know what will make a difference? Maybe it's time to listen to a teacher. Day in and day out, teachers watch kids interact with peers, make decisions, deal with difficulty, accept or deflect responsibility . . . Teachers are our eyes and ears--and there's a lot they wish we knew.  Veteran high school teacher Rebecca Deurlein examines how we can support our teens as they cope with the challenges of the modern world.  --Amazon.com description.
