[This book] presents a thoughtful, provocative, and well-documented case for ... measuring educational achievement. ... While recognizing that public investments in quality education may be the most important thing a society can do for its children ... she offers many of the policy and practice changes needed to inspire children to learn. -- Michael Petit, President, Every Child Matters Education Fund 'A valuable guide for reconstructing an education that responds to the needs of heart and mind while contributing to a productive and just society.' -- H. M. Levin This book is special in tone, detail, analysis and passion. It is worth every teacher and parent reading Seeds of Tomorrow to understand why and how we have become a nation driven to judge and reshape our educational system through standardized testing, and what our children will lose and gain through this decision. -- Elaine Zimmerman, Connecticut Commission on Children and Parent Leadership Training Institute
