Parents in Highschooland: Helping students succeed in the critical years

by Karyn Rashoff

Overview

Thanks to her 33 years of dedicated work as a high school guidance counselor, few education professionals are better qualified than author Karyn Rashoff to identify, analyze, and resolve the complex interactions among students, their teachers, and their parents. Her nearly 20,000 counseling interactions have pointed to specific behaviors that promote school success.

The school counselor's job is to reconcile the sometimes disparate desires of students, teachers, coaches, administrators, and parents. This goal is difficult to reach under the best of conditions, yet the author's keen observations of history, heartbreak and hope have yielded a book that will most certainly help to guide parents, comfort students, and encourage educators.

This unique book makes major contributions to fundamental aspirations for personal growth, career success, and societal harmony.

About the Author

Karyn Rashoff devoted thirty years to a busy career in secondary education, working as a counselor to the teen-aged subculture in California high schools -- without ever a dull moment.

She earned her Master of Science degree in Educational Counseling at California State University, Long Beach, in 1978, and she has since interacted professionally with nearly 20,000 students and their families, helping to define, address, and resolve the problems that often arise between teens and parents during any child's academic and intellectual development.

Karen has written many articles on parenting, spoken at countless parent nights, and counseled thousands of teens dealing with grief, the pain of perceived betrayal by friends, and difficulties with teachers, administrators, parents, and their own ever-changing priorities.

A long-time resident of Orange County, California, and now retired, Karyn Rashoff delights in singing with three community choral groups and is an avid gardener. Her son is now in graduate school.
