I'm on my third reading of Could Do Better, and I already know I'll end up reading it again someday. I am reading it primarly as a PGCE student, and I love Beadle's accessible writing and wry humour. His book is a pleasure to read, and I am doing my best to commit his methods to memory.

How can Phil lose? As soon as kids know he's a former rock musician, he's on his way. Who better than someone with the highest street- cred and `teacher of the year' to offer guidance to parents?
We know that whilst parents are the most important influence on a child's development, getting it right at school is almost equally important. Phil gets it just right with his wealth of experience, great writing style and sense of humour.
So, learn to help them at home, and help them at school!

This is an excellent book, written by a brilliant teacher. I read it as a parent and a teacher and was extremely impressed by Phil Beadle's style, approach and outlook. It is a truly fantastic book giving excellent help and guidance to parents. The education system is changing at such a rapid rate and let's face it we are all just trying to do the best by our children. Many thanks should go to Phil Beadle!
