I have spent my entire life either at the schoolhouse, on the way to the schoolhouse, or talking about what happens in the schoolhouse. Both my parents were educators, my maternal grandparents were educators, and for the past 40 years I've done the same thing. And so, needless to say, over those years I've had a chance to look at education reform from a lot of perspectives. Some of those reforms have been good. Some of them have been not so good. And we know why kids drop out. We know why kids don't learn. It's either poverty, low attendance, negative peer influences. We know why. But one of the things that we never discuss or we rarely discuss is the value and importance of human connection, relationships.
我這輩子，要么是在學(xué)校，要么在去學(xué)校的路上，要么是在討論學(xué)校里發(fā)生了什么事。我的父母都是教育家，我的外祖父母也都是搞教育的，過(guò)去40年我也在從事同樣的事業(yè)。所以，很顯然，過(guò)去的這些年里，我有機(jī)會(huì)從各個(gè)角度審視教育改革。一些改革是有成效的。而另一些卻收效甚微。我們知道孩子們?yōu)槭裁吹絷?duì)輟學(xué)。我們知道孩子們?yōu)槭裁磳W(xué)不下去。原因無(wú)非是貧窮，低出席率，同齡人的壞影響。我們知道為什么。但是我們從未討論或者極少討論的是人和人之間的那種聯(lián)系的價(jià)值和重要性，這就是“關(guān)系”。
James Comer says that no significant learning can occur without a significant relationship. George Washington Carver says all learning is understanding relationships. Everyone in this room has been affected by a teacher or an adult. For years, I have watched people teach. I have looked at the best and I've look at some of the worst.
James Comer (美國(guó)著名兒童精神科醫(yī)師)說(shuō)過(guò)，沒(méi)有強(qiáng)有力的.聯(lián)系，學(xué)習(xí)就不會(huì)有顯著的進(jìn)步。 George Washington Carver(美國(guó)著名教育學(xué)家)說(shuō)過(guò)，學(xué)習(xí)就是理解各種關(guān)系。在座的各位都曾經(jīng)被一位老師或者一個(gè)成年人影響過(guò)。這么多年，我都在看人們?cè)趺唇虒W(xué)。我看過(guò)最好的也看過(guò)最差的。
