Getting parents and teachers to communicate at all can be a giant project, so it's no small feat that Isaacson and Fisher-an engaged parent and an experienced teacher, respectively-have written such a cohesive and thoughtful book. Their success stems from an obviously deep admiration and respect for each other and their students.
