Summary:	"Drawing on a series of interviews with parents, A Family Affair provides an insider's view of what happens at home when school goes wrong. Always interesting and sometimes painful, these stories reveal that school troubles threaten the happiness and self-esteem of children; disrupt relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, and siblings; and, in general, deny parents and children many of the pleasures of family life." "A Family Affair is a cautionary tale for educators and educational policy makers. It will be of particular interest to teachers who worry about the effects of school troubles on children and their families. It will also comfort parents who have experienced the devastation of living with a struggling learner."--BOOK JACKET.
