内容説明
Bill Cosby Ain't Crazy, is a resource for anyone who is charged with the awesome responsibility of providing guidance to a young person. Crazy will be particularly helpful to parents and educators alike. Crazy is a call to action for all parents and caregivers, asking them for more active and responsible participation in the raising and development of their young people. The book also acknowledges the fact that many parents are working hard to give their children both the support and structure that is needed; details the challenges facing many of our schools and communities which result from dealing with children who are not receiving the necessary parenting required to become positive members of either group; and attempts to highlight the great work being done by the hardest working and least appreciated group of people on the planet, public school teachers all across this country. Inspired by the provocative comments made by Mr. Bill Cosby as he called for the community to look at where we are and do more to get to where we need to be. The other great inspiration for the writing of this book was the passing of his father Melvin R. Coutreyer. One of the greatest accomplishments of a person's life is the type of parent that they tried to be and Melvin Coutreyer was a great father to his children. The last page of this book was written first and then the work went into reaching the goal of completing the project. Raising children is no different. Imagine a child that is respectful, kind, educated, thoughtful and responsible. Then work like hell to help them develop the skills necessary to become that person. It's not about making all the choices for your children because if you raise the kind of child described in the previous sentence they will be able to make good decision for themselves.

Oughta be on TV

Keith Coutreyer's book is a breezy and inspiring read that
resends a message about simply doing the right thing. It seems
that there is an almost unlimited need for the message to
be repeated. I fervently wish that the book were a TV show or
a music video or available in some other form, because it's
hard not to think that the people who need to hear this message
won't read the book and that the people who read the book
already got the message.
None the less, a great gift-just about the right size for a
transatlantic flight.
