    Dear Dr. Zhao,

    Even as a music teacher, I have felt the pressures of NCLB, as I watch my creative colleagues close their doors while being forced to teach to the test: Connecticut Mastery Test (CMT), Aims Web, DIBELS, and more alphabet soup. No one ever seems to question whether the data obtained from these assessments is even accurate or valid, except the teachers themselves who usually end up following what they know from spending time with students, rather than the scores which often are not a true reflection of the student or his/her abilities.

    Do you ever teach on-line courses? I loved your book and felt inspired and hopeful with your conclusions. I would love to teach in a school like the ones you describe. Having visited China twice, once as a musician, and once with an educational exchange through the CT Dept. of Education (CT/Shandong Exchange), I am especially interested in your comparison of our twosystems. Our school has hosted Chinese visiting educators several times in the past few years and our conversations become increasingly interesting with them asking why we are adhering to the testing tract while they are pulling away from it.

    I will continue to follow your blog. Thank you for your clear forward thinking. Now, how do we replace NCLB with your solutions?

    Dear Dr. Zhao,

    I would like to thank you for the KLICK program, I was involved with KLICK as a 6th & 7th grader during the last 2 years of the program. I was also able take part in 2 years of the KLICK summer program, where I studied website design under J.J. Chandler. I have since started my own website design company focused towards small businesses and organizations and I still use techniques, to build websites for my clients, that I learned at KLICK camp.
