I can't wait to hear more about the reading classes. I think it has the potential to really open up our understanding of cultural ideas about teaching and learning. Are the reading teachers specialized in elemnetary school (like they are w/ mathematics classrooms)? Kevin,

The classes I saw were in a school that's supposed to be one of the best in Beijing, so classes are very large (~50 students). The teachers had put together really stunning Powerpoint-based presentations and did a number of interesting things, all fairly different from what the Math teachers had their students do.
