【題目】A primary school in US is grading (分級(jí)) parents on how much they support their children. Parents of pupils are marked from A to D based on their involvement(參與) with their children’s education.

To improve the children’s performance at school, the system encouraged their parents to attend events, such as parents’ evenings and plays, and help with learning at home. For many children at this school, it is making a huge difference. Children whose parents are in groups A and B make better progress than those whose parents are in groups C and D.

But not all parents are fond of being graded. “They’ll have us all wearing dunce’s (差生) hats next,” said a mother-of-one, who did not wish to be marked. She said that “It’s one thing when children get a bad grade, but now they openly embarrass their parents, too.” Another mother, who argued that the move had unfairly shifted responsibility from teachers to parents,?said “Those parents who work from nine to five won’t have time to have as much input as stay-at-home mums who have the time to contribute more and go to more school events.”

But Pat Walker, 63, whose eight-year-old granddaughter attends the school, supported it.

She said, “I think it’s very beneficial(有好處) to the pupils and the parents and the grandparents as well.”

【1】What is the primary school grading parents on?

______________________________

【2】Why did the system encourage parents to attend events?

______________________________

【3】What kind of children make better progress?

【4】Who contribute more and go to more school events?

【題目】Bai Yansong, a famous TV host, expressed his support for students wearing green scarves (領(lǐng)巾) at a primary school in Xi’an. He wore a green tie on a TV program on October 19, 2011.

“I just want the students to know that I’m also wearing a green one. And we are all great people and are as good as those wearing red scarves,” he said.

The First Experimental Primary School in Xi’an made children with poor schoolwork and behaviour wear green scarves. Parents were angry. “The punish-ment is too bad. All children need their self-esteem (自尊) even though they are very young, and they know the green scarf means something is not quite right. It does harm to students’ self-esteem,” said one mother.

Educational expert (專家) Li Zhenxi said that school students have strong self-esteem. They hope to be respected (尊重) and understood. Punishment will hurt them. “It’s better to encourage them rather than call them ‘bad’ students,” he said. Now, the school has stopped the practice.

Some schools think more of students’ self-esteem and have done better in protecting students’ privacy

(隱私) and encouraging them. In American schools, teachers post test results on the wall. Instead of using students’ names, they use secret numbers. This way, students know their secret numbers and can check their own grades only. Many teachers in China tell students their grades by sending text messages to their students.

Schools and teachers are doing more for students’ self-esteem. But it is a long way. Both teachers and parents should realize that test scores are not the only measure (標(biāo)準(zhǔn)) of a student’s ability. Everyone has his own strengths and everyone can make great progress by working hard. Adults should make students get to know their own value. The most important is to make students believe in themselves.

Green scarves and self-esteem

He supported green scarves by wearing a green 【1】 . He wanted to tell the students that there are no【2】? 　　　　 between green and red.

The origin (起源) of green scarves
