Back to Education
The education that we provide to our children, in great part, determines whether they live their dreams or their nightmares.

Georgia Appleseed Reports:
When My Child is Disciplined at School: A Guide for Families "As part of its continuing focus on effective parental involvement to benefit students and schools, Georgia Appleseed is pleased to offer its new handbook, When My Child is Disciplined at School: A Guide for Families. The guidebook is intended as a tool to help parents and guardians throughout Georgia to become informed advocates for their children when dealing with school discipline policies."
Effective Student Discipline: Keeping Kids in Class presents the findings of a year and a half study of public school discipline policy, practice and outcomes in Georgia. It includes: (1) Comprehensive analysis of Georgia Department of Education public school discipline data; (2) 'Voices from the Field' from interviews with 200 educators and public school discipline and safety stakeholders; and (3) Action recommendations for policy-makers and parents to help kids stay in school and on track for graduation.
The Same Starting Line invites school board members, educators, communities and pol-icymakers to shift the conversation about public schools from what kids lack to what schools and school boards, superintendents and other key decision-makers must provide.
