The Handbook teaches the virtues of good sportsmanship and such simple yet often lost "treat others the way you would like to be treated" techniques as blending into a multiculturally diverse school with an odd name and accepting different races and religions in the same way you would visit different restaurants Rent and mortgage burdened parents will welcome the subject covered in depth of how a child can help the family budget by using practical conservation techniques. The Handbook for School Kids is unique in its meaty dialogue with the really tough issues such as kids starting to play with fire, making home made bombs, skipping school, lying, smoking, stealing, doing drugs and graffiti. The Author gives a first hand account of his time in juvenile prison which is sure to make kids think twice if they are already heading the wrong way in life.
