I did not realize that my review of Yong Zhao’s book (“Who’s Afraid of the Big, Bad Dragon? Why China Has the Best [and the Worst] Schools in the World) was behind a paywall on the website of the New York Review of Books. I have no control over that decision. In time, soon hopefully, it will be available in full, and I will post it. I really enjoyed the book, and I wish that President Obama, Secretary Duncan, members of Congress, and all our governors and legislators would read it. As Secretary Duncan would say, “It’s a game-changer.”
I hope you will read the book.

I subscribe to the New York Review of Books, and was pleasantly surprised to see your review. Thank you, again, for a clear voice in describing what’s wrong with the current wave of school reform. I shared my copy at school
