    It is refreshing to hear what the 21st century learner needs to know and why. A lot of empty rhetoric is circulating as to the importance of 21st century teaching, the technology that is available, and the need to rethink the way in which we teach. Thank you for painting a picture of where we were, where we are, and where we need to be heading. And thank you for using details while doing so.

    Thank You! This sounds just like so many of our dinner-table conversations at home. We are a family of great teachers, both sciences and arts. American can not kill creativity or we will all suffer.

    Dr. Zhao,

    You would make an excellent Secretary of Education. Wouldn’t that be refreshing if someone with knowledge held that position?

    One can only hope, but I won’t hold me breath. I’d be dead before having a Secretary of Education like you in D.C.

    Thanks for ALL you do.

    All good things,
    Yvonne Siu-Runyan
