6、ake their childrento spend holidays duringterm-time, views on the issue vary from person to person. Parents claim that by doing so, they cansave a lot of money born of busy school holidays. Educational officialsstrongly oppose thistendency on the ground that it encourages truancy, which in turn dama

7、ges a childeducations.From my perspective, the merits of banning term-time holidays outweigh its demerits.To begin with, taking tough measures on this kind of truancy is conducive to the normalteaching process, one of the key elements to guarantee kid s academic performance. As we know, currently, t

8、eachers have the discretion to approve a certain time of absence from school for each child, which is supposed to be for illness and is not supposed to be granted for holidays. Bydefinitely abolishing the right of head teachers to“ authorize absence” from the classroom, tteachers can rarely be peste

9、red by parents who want to take children to go on a holiday just to savemoney, which severely disrupts teaching process. What s more, without strict penalties imposedon the parents who lead to their kid s playing truant, those parents can gradually view asking forholiday leave as a right. Once this

10、cultural expectation is formed, the level of truancy will dramatically increase.Accordingly, the growing trend of term-time holidays should be banned with no delay. In this way, teachers can impart knowledge without disturbance and parents will be deterred from saving money at the expense of sacrifi

Today I would like to talk about my recent research project, concerning the key to success. I would like to start my topic with my own story.When I wa

14、s 27 years old, I left for a demanding job - teaching seventh graders math in theNew York City public schools. And like any teacher, I made quizzes and tests. I gave out homework assignments. When the work came back, I calculated grades.What struck me was that I.Q. was not the only difference betwee

15、n my best and my worst students. Some of my strongest performers did not have super I.Q. scores. Some of my smartest kids werent doing so well.And I felt interested in knowing the reason why the students math performance is not that closely related to their IQ scores. I started studying kids and adu

16、lts in all kinds of challengingsettings, and in every study my question was, who is successful here and why? My research team and I went to West Point Military Academy. We tried to predict which students would stay in military training and which would drop out. We went to the National Spelling Conte

17、st and tried to predict which children would advance furthest in competition. We worked with private companies, asking, which of these sales people is going to keep their jobs? And whos going to earn the most money? We went to many places. And finally, one characteristic emerged as a significant pre

18、dictor of success. And it wasnt social intelligence. It wasnt good looks, physical health, and it wasnt I.Q. It was grit. What is grit?Well, grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, b

19、ut for years, and working really hard to make future a reality. Grit is living your life like its a marathon, not a sprint.A few years ago, I started studying grit in the Chicago public schools. I asked thousands of high school juniors to take grit questionnaires, and then waited around more than a

20、year to see who would graduate. It turned out that grittier kids were significantly more likely to graduate, even when I matched them on every characteristic I could measure, things like family income, test scores, and so on. To me, the most shocking thing about grit is how little we know, how littl

21、e science knows, about building it. Every day, parents and teachers asked me, How do I build gritin kids? How do I keep them motivated for the long run? Our data show very clearly that there are many talented individuals who simply do not follow through on their commitment. In fact, in our data, gri

22、t is usually unrelated to measures of talent.3最新 料推薦So far, the best idea Ive heard about buildinggrit in kids is something called growthmindset. Growth mindset is the belief that the ability to learn is not fixed, that it can change with your effort. Kids with grit are much more likely to persevere

23、 when they fail, because they dont believe that failure is a permanent condition.So growth mindset is a great idea for building grit. But we need more. And thats where Imgoing to end my talk, because thats where we are. Thats the work that stands before us. We have to be willing to fail, to be wrong

24、, to start over again with lessons learned.As a conclusion, we need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier. Next time, I would liketo share with you my experience in building up students grit.Section BConversation OneW: Hello, this is Kate Smith. I m callingCompanyfromABC.M: Oh, hello, Kate. G

33、W: Now, I guess there are two kinds of debts, good debt and bad debt. Where does this go?M: Well, student loan debt is traditionally considered good debt, but the problem for many students and their families is that the cost of colleges has been going up at 6-8% a year, far faster than the income, f
