There's no use sugar-coating it: teens today are stressed out, sleep-deprived, over-committed, and sometimes depressed or even suicidal, and one of the biggest stressors for teens and their parents is the college admissions process. If some parents are willing to falsify standardized test answers, bribe coaches, and make fake donations to charities just to help their kids get into college, then our generation of parents has gotten way off track. It can be hard for parents to practice what they know is right when everyone around them seems to be frantically tutoring, managing, and helicoptering. While well-intentioned, many parents don't know how best to support their children during this sensitive and stressful time. The Parent Compass provides guidance on how to appropriately parent during the college admissions process and what parents' roles should be in supporting their teens' mental health as they navigate high school, college applications, and all the pressures that come along with that busy time of life. Packed with practical advice, useful suggestions, and real case studies drawn from the authors' combined experience of over 25 years of guiding parents and students through this stressful phase, this book is a toolbox and treasure trove of ideas and answers.

It seems like common sense that children do better when parents are actively involved in their schooling. But how well does the evidence stack up? The Broken Compass puts this question to the test in the most thorough scientific investigation to date of how parents across socioeconomic and ethnic groups contribute to the academic performance of K-12 children. The surprising discovery is that no clear connection exists between parental involvement and student performance. Keith Robinson and Angel Harris assessed over sixty measures of parental participation, at home and in school. While some of the associations they found were consistent with past studies, others ran contrary to previous research and popular perceptions. It is not the case that Hispanic and African American parents are less concerned about education--or that "Tiger parenting" among Asian Americans gets the desired results. Many low-income parents want to be involved in their children's school lives but often receive little support from school systems. For immigrant families, language barriers only worsen the problem. In this provocative work, Robinson and Harris believe that the time has come to reconsider whether parental involvement can make much of a dent in the basic problems facing American schools today.
