I wish our state would have the Maker Faire sometime (also when I'm not at school).

Arizona isn't a state too crazy about standardized tests, although I am always happy when I hear new team members saying how happy they are that they are here, and not obsessing over some test over the other (or at the Science Olympiad club, where the competition is primarily who can cram the most...)

Another good read would be The Overachievers: The Secret Lives of Driven Kids by Alexandra Robbins.
