Praise for Blank Check
A Young Adult Novel by Dr. Aaron L. Smith
“Dr. Aaron Smith has crafted an excellent, fast-paced narrative for Young Adult reading, a book which takes the reader through the action-packed journey of high school senior Colby Holloway as he helps guide a transformation of the whole idea of public schools in America.
Readers will be inspired by observing the transformation in action around the question, ‘if you had a blank check, what would you do differently to transform public schools?’ This narrative gives young readers an inspirational opportunity to view critical thinking in action and empathize with the struggles of public education.”
“Blank Check is a captivating, fast-paced, fictional presentation of a concept for remodeling an educational system where the author’s holistic ideas show how to ‘replace and promote’ an alternative educational system. Considerable thought and related research has been applied to the concept, which provides the reader with positive first-steps approach. A great read!”
“What teacher, administrator, even parent, doesn’t sometimes imagine how they would reshape the system if money were no object and bureaucracy wasn’t an issue? Blank Check, while fictitious, makes you wonder, ‘what if?’ and begins the conversation that is long overdue.”
"We all have choices in life; but please remember there are ALWAYS consequences for those choices. To grow in life is to learn to make good choices.”

"Education is a global topic. Dr. Smith uses a new way of expression to convey his understanding and suggestions for modern education to us. Although the story is fictional, I believe that on this planet, in the vast crowd, there must be many people like the protagonist in the book working for the change and development of education.
From ancient times until today, we have different definitions and needs for talents in different eras. In response to these needs, we are also adjusting educational methods and methods in a timely manner. Some of the key contents of this book provide solutions for current education issues. The ideas we draw on are worthy of our in-depth thinking and discussion.
Finally, thanks to Dr. Smith for bringing new inspiration through this book, and I hope that the readers will gain different values upon reading it."
