"As a Director of a parent involvement preschool, former elementary school teacher, and mother of three young adults who went through both private and public school systems, I was enlightened, encouraged, and inspired by the message of 'In Defense of the American Teen' written by Ryan Teves. I am recommending this book to all of my families as a guide for parents to prepare them for the educational system their child will face in the middle school and high school years. This is the message that needs to be brought to every educator's attention and proactively addressed for the sake of our children's future success." - Donna Hardwick, Scotts Valley, Ca.
