Please, Don’t Call My Mother!” How Parents and Schools Can Team Up
to Get Kids Back on Track
by John Lazares and Coleen Armstrong
illustrated by Rebekah Strecker
What’s one of the most serious problems with kids today?
Discipline, most parents and teachers will agree. But that doesn’t necessarily mean
more or even stricter rules, believes Lazares, an experienced school administrator with a
special interest in middle-school students.
Instead, he tells parents and teachers how to make sure rules and penalties—at home
and at school—are clear; if anyone can find a loophole, it’s a teenager.
Communicate your rules and monitor infractions. And when punishment is necessary, think
creatively: what’s the easiest way to ensure a child will never break this rule
again?
If you’re the parent or teacher of a challenging child, you’ll appreciate this
book’s recommendations for getting kids back on the path to success. If you’re a
parent concerned about your local school’s discipline policies, you’ll find
helpful advice in “Questions and Answers for Parents.”
John Lazares has been a public school educator for 27 years: a teacher, a principal and
now a superintendent. The founder of a new alternative school for at-risk kids in grades
7-12, he is a recipient of the National Public School Relations Award of Honor. Coleen
Armstrong spent 30 years teaching grades 7-12. An award-winning journalism teacher, she
hosts a television talk show on educational topics.
