[cid:image003.jpg@01CA5DF3.712DE630]Catching Up--Or Leading the Way? For the United States to retain its competitive edge in the global economy, should we emulate the strengths of rising world powers' education practices or capitalize on America's own track record? Are the common prescriptions for education reform the right ones? Dr. Yong Zhao shares insightful perspectives and humorous examples as he describes the myth of American education crisis. He reflects on why Asian countries are trying to copy the US education model, and how NCLB and testing are eliminating the very things that make American education successful.
