英语翻译
What do you call a school with no tests,no letter grades,no required classes and no teachers?Students of the Met school and their
parents call it the best school in the world.
Dennis Littky,a double PhD in psychology and education set up the Met school in Rhode island in 1996.The school agreed to accept
poor kids who were failing out of the regular school system.
Everybody had already given up on these students.
"The word most kids use when they talk about high school is
'boring'",says Littky,"what a shame."But no one would describe the Met as "boring"."Advisors" rather than teachers,work with small
groups of students.Students spend almost half of their school time working in interships for business,government and other schools.
Instead of tests,students present exhibitions based on their work
outside of school.
Class work focuses on skills,not knowledge.Even though there are
no tests,the school is not easy."It's a lot harder here",says one of
the students,"The teachers give you a lot of attention.They see all
your strong and weak points."
This approach has had remarkbale results:Ninety-eight percents of
students gradute on time,and 100% graduates are accepted into
university.Bill Gates is now funding a network of similar schools
around the United States.
你会称这样的学校为什么?没有测验、没有分数、没有强制性课程甚连是老师也没有!Met学院的学生和他们的家长称之为世界上最好的学校.
拥有心理学和教育学双博士学位的Dennis Littky,1996年在罗德岛创办了Met学院.学院接受那些因贫穷而无法接受教育的孩子,他们都已被世人所放弃.
“世界上大多是孩子们在描述高中的时候,用的最多的词是‘乏味的’”,Littky说道,“这多么悲哀”,但从来没有人用“乏味的”来形容met学院.每个“指导者”而不是老师,志带领一小群学生.学生们讲一天中几乎一般的时间花在了在商业、政府以及其他学校的实习上,而不是埋头于各种测试.学生们的当前表现完全基于他们在校外的努力程度.
课堂教会孩子技法,而不是知识.尽管没有测试,但在met上学并不轻松.“在这儿甚至更艰难”,一个学生如是说,“老师会对你十分关注,他们对你的缺点和优点了若指掌”.
这项改进取得了瞩目成就:98%的学生按时毕业,毕业生的大学入学率达到100%.比尔盖茨正在美国建立一个类似这样的学校的网络.
