Title: Misleading title
Review: I found the title misleading. The book does not have you compromise with your school district. It has you go in with all guns blazing, basically using a scorched earth policy. I preferred "From Emotions to Advocacy" by Pam and Pete Wright (ISBN 1-892320-08-8). The Wrights have you go through a multi-stage approach. Yes, you build your documentation to prepare you for future stages, but you start with trying to work with the school district as a team member. It's more of a carrot and stick approach. Mayerson's approach has you going straight to court, skipping all previous stages and forming an adversarial relationship with your school. Sometimes this is necessary, but if you can form a cooperative relationship with your school, you'll get more accomplished and form a better environment for your child.
