520    "The secrets behind China's extraordinary educational 
       system - good, bad, and ugly, Chinese students' 
       consistently stunning performance on the international 
       PISA exams-- where they outscore students of all other 
       nations in math, reading, and science--have positioned 
       China as a world education leader. American educators and 
       pundits have declared this a "Sputnik Moment," saying that
       we must learn from China's education system in order to 
       maintain our status as an education leader and global 
       superpower. Indeed, many of the reforms taking hold in 
       United States schools, such as a greater emphasis on 
       standardized testing and the increasing importance of core
       subjects like reading and math, echo the Chinese system. 
       We're following in China's footsteps--but is this the 
       direction we should take? Who's Afraid of the Big Bad 
       Dragon? by award-winning writer Yong Zhao offers an 
       entertaining, provocative insider's account of the Chinese
       school system, revealing the secrets that make it both 
       "the best and worst" in the world. Born and raised in 
       China's Sichuan province and a teacher in China for many 
       years, Zhao has a unique perspective on Chinese culture 
       and education. He explains in vivid detail how China turns
       out the world's highest-achieving students in reading, 
       math, and science--yet by all accounts Chinese educators, 
       parents, and political leaders hate the system and long to
       send their kids to western schools. Filled with 
       fascinating stories and compelling data, Who's Afraid of 
       the Big Bad Dragon? offers a nuanced and sobering tour of 
       education in China. Learn how China is able to turn out 
       the world's highest achieving students in math, science, 
       and reading Discover why, despite these amazing test 
       scores, Chinese parents, teachers, and political leaders 
       are desperate to leave behind their educational system 
       Discover how current reforms in the U.S. parallel the 
       classic Chinese system, and how this could help (or hurt) 
       our students' prospects "--|cProvided by publisher.
