The June/July issue of Scholastic Parent and Child is out now, and in it are two of my recent articles. The first, "Opting-Out is In, But Does it Work?" contains the opinions of three experts who weigh in on the issue. Pick up a copy at your local newsstand to see the opinions of Bob Schaeffer, Public Education Director for Fair Test: National Center for Fair and Open Testing; Diane Hernandez, Director of Assessment Development for the California Department of Education; and Carol Varsalona, literacy consultant. The second, "Field Guide to the Introvert" offers tips for helping your introverted child thrive in his or her own way.
Happy reading,
Christine

Be in a National Magazine: Voice Your Opinion on Opting-Out!
Opting out is in, but does it work?
More parents are choosing to opt out of high-stakes standardized testing for their kids. But what impact does not participating really have—and is it really the best way to implement change?
Answer this question here in the comment section, or email me at
bookgirlblogger(at)gmail(dot)com, and your opinion could appear in a national magazine.
