If you are convinced No Child Left Behind, the Race to the Top, or the new Common Core Standards (which our state allocated some 5 million dollars to investigate how it might be implemented in our state) is the answer to education reform this is a book you should read.
If you are a teacher, administrator or a professor of education this is a book to read if you want to know what is really being planned for how to ensure that educational professionals play a major part in the economic and political failure of our democracy and the sure destruction of our children's dreams.
My father was a college president and head of the department of education in more than one college. Education was talked about at our dinner table. I have been an administrator of an apprentice program working with local high schools helping them prepare students for employment with the General Electric Company, have worked in corporate America, worked for an Indian tribe in the human resources department, have worked at the International headquarters for two major international companies responsible for the compensation and benefits of expatriates in more that 15 countries and have worked for years in alternative education.
Every CEO should read this book and think about helping to support the implementation of the paradigm proposed.
Every governor and legislature at the state and national level should read and study this book to gain an understanding of how the path currently being supported by politicians and many educators is a sure path to destruction.
Let me start by stating that this book pretty felt like the ideas were taken from my head and Yong Zhao just brought clarity and data to support the ideas.
This book is a must read!
As the American Education System works towards spending billions of dollars in creating a Common Core curriculum, other countries are trying to emulate what America schools once were. I am not stating that the school system we had was perfect, but it allowed students to pursue their interests and there is a reason that we have more creative awards, innovators, Novel Laureates, and patents than any other country. Forcing everyone to teach the same way is going to cause schools to eliminate those opportunities for students to explore their passions.
This book discusses what America is doing wrong and questions why we want to be like a China education system that can have students pass tests, but cannot innovate? China is striving to be us and vice versa. We are in a pivotal moment right now in education and this book shows what can be if we continue down this path.
It is imperative that teachers have freedom within their classroom. When a teacher can no longer teach a project because other teachers in the subject field don't want to and teachers cannot add their own flare to their subject, then students lose out. This mindset is settling in not only with policy makers, but communities as well.
Parents want more work. More homework, harder classes, more tests, etc. At what point do we say enough! A child should not have to attend school for 6-7 hours a day and then go home to hours of homework each night. It is very important for kids to have time to explore, play, sports, art, music, drama, etc.
