The notorious "wonderful school years" are often remembered with dread: endless piles of homework, backbreaking backpacks, indifferent teachers, bullying, and boredom. Is there an alternative? Yes, if you understand that the responsibility for children's education lies not with the school, but with the family. The standard eleven years at a desk are far from the only possible path.

In the book "A Call for Parents," journalist and psychologist Kristina Sandalova explains how schools are adapting to the 21st century. She shares her own and others' experiences in educating children, presents expert opinions, and provides all the details about homeschooling. How can you find good educators, organize a schedule that works for everyone, handle exams, and avoid unnecessary stress?

This book is for parents ready to choose how and what their children learn, ensuring they not only gain knowledge but also grow up happy.
