Matt McClure, Arkansas ASCD's legislative chair and superintendent of Cross County School District, thanked Elliott, Gov. Beebe, and the bill's cosponsors and said that Arkansas ASCD looks forward to working with the entire Arkansas education community to ensure that
whole child education remains the number one priority for the state.
China embraced, in theory, Mao's appeal for educating the
whole child, and this approach

education in China today.
