【文章內容簡介】 ere warned by the teacher in the first lesson that students got a grade not only for academic achievement but also for attendance and best effort6 Once parents agree in writing to accept and demonstrate the schools philosophies and outlook the students can gain admission7 In the Hyde School greater attention is paid to the establishment of a fruitful relationship with each student while

為了避免美國中學使用的其他品格培養(yǎng)方案所引發(fā)的爭議高爾德解釋說全力以赴 這一概念并不是要強迫學生接受某一套道德原則或宗教觀念4 家長簽約同意每月出席一次區(qū)小組會議共20個區(qū)小組每年去區(qū)休養(yǎng)所三天每年至少參加三次巴思市的研修班討論組和研討會5 公立學校學生家長的活動計劃仍在制定當中這項工作的困難要大得多因為很難使家長們相信自身的參與很有價值6 他很樂觀地認為一旦家長投入到計劃當中他們就會成為孩子們日常行為的榜樣這一點與寄宿學校的學生家長完全不同7 海德中學的辦學宗旨是如果你向學生傳授諸如誠實勇敢正直領導能力好奇心和關心他人等美德的話學生的學習成績自然就會提高8 我們有幾分喜歡這種活力但并不是喜歡它不好的一面而是要將它轉化成好的一面Section B Cultural Differences in Western and Japanese
