I tutor my nephew, who is in kindergarden. Some of the book was geared towards older students but I still gained quite a few new tips and ideas for making homework time more productive and fun.

Should be titled, "How to become a helicopter parent: The complete guide to undermining your child's teacher."


I'm sorry....a bit snarky, I know. I just really didn't like any part of this book.
