Advocate [v. ad-vuh-keyt] - a daily practice of knowing your rights and asserting them.
Collaborate [kuh-lab-uh-reyt] - Collaboration is the approach of individuals pulling together for a common goal. In this case, your child.
It sounds so easy and in a perfect world these two key components would create an environment your child can thrive in. This is not a perfect world, as you have found, and our kids need us to use our tools more forcefully or in some cases, hire assistance.
And so is born, Advocate Collaborate. For the times we find ourselves using our tools to no avail, when we want our child's education to be meaningful.
