either at the schoolhouse, on the way to the schoolhouse,

or talking about what happens in the schoolhouse.

and for the past 40 years I've done the same thing.

再加上我過去四十年來也在做相同的事

And so, needless to say, over those years

I've had a chance to look at education reform

我們了解為什麼學生有學習困難

原因可能是貧窮、蹺課或負面的同儕影響

But one of the things that we never discuss

is the value and importance of human connection,

就是人與人之間互動的價值與重要性

James Comer says that no significant learning

can occur without a significant relationship.

George Washington Carver says all learning

I have looked at the best and I've look at some of the worst.

"沒人付薪水要求我去喜歡學生"

I should teach it. They should learn it. Case closed."

"學生不會從他們不喜歡的人身上學東西"

She said, "That's just a bunch of hooey."

And I said to her, "Well, your year is going to be long

Tell a kid you're sorry, they're in shock.

I'm not real good with math, but I was working on it.

I'd taught the whole lesson wrong. (Laughter)

So I came back to class the next day, and I said,

所以在隔天回到課堂上時，我說:

I taught the whole lesson wrong. I'm so sorry."

"我把整堂課教錯了，我很抱歉"

You were so excited, we just let you go."

"你教得很激動，所以我們原諒你"

I wondered, how am I going to take this group

我想, 我未來如何帶領這群學生？

from where they are to where they need to be?

把現在的他們帶領到應有的水準？

And it was difficult. It was awfully hard.

How do I raise the self-esteem of a child

and his academic achievement at the same time?

so we could show everybody else how to do it."

I said, "Really. We have to show the other classes

我答: "真的! 我們要成為其他班級的榜樣"

how to do it, so when we walk down the hall,

"我有任務要完成,我要讓人對我另眼相看"

I put a "+2" on his paper and a big smiley face.

我在紙上寫了個"+2"和大大的笑臉

He said, "Then why'd you put a smiley face?"
