We all know Thomas Edison was a genius of seemingly limitless
imagination. Yet few know that he was a failure in elementary
school. Teel shows us how Edison's mother, Nancy, guided the boy
who was deemed a dunce by officials-even assumed mentally retarded
by his father-to become one of the greatest inventors of all time.
Edison's progressive and imaginative teaching methods hold lessons
for all children who learn differently from conventional methods
and for the parents and teachers who care about them. Teel also
explains how parents can negotiate the educational maze created by
the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the No
Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). An Individualized Education Program
is explained in detail, and options such as enlisting the
assistance of a professional advocate are also discussed. The
latest research about current medication therapies and the
origins/potential benefits of ADHD are reviewed. A leading
professional advocate explains what every parent needs to know
about the public school system. Other topics addressed include the
effectiveness of homeschooling and parental and student rights.
Teel also offers an extensive list of local and national resources.
