關注社會:揭祕老師的10個真實想法

A look inside a teacher's mind could help you understand lesson plans and maybe even guide your child to perform better.

瞭解老師的想法不僅可以幫助家長理解課程的設置，更有助於讓你的孩子表現得更好。

1. The students we remember are happy, respectful, and good-hearted, not necessarily the ones with the highest grades.
讓我們牢記在心的是那些快樂的、懂得尊重他人的，並且擁有一副好心腸的學生，而決不僅僅只是那些成績優異的學生。

2. Kids dish on your secrets all the time--money, religion, politics, even Dad's vasectomy.
孩子們總喜歡提及你們的祕密——包括金錢、宗教信仰、政治觀點，甚至輸精管結紮。

3. I'm not a marriage counselor. At parent-teacher conferences, let's stick to Dakota's progress, not how your husband won't help you around the house.
我不是婚姻顧問。在家長會上，讓我們專注於孩子們的表現，而不是抱怨丈夫不幫你做家務。

4. Kids used to go out and play after school and resolve problems on their own. Now, with computers and TV, they lack the skills to communicate. They don't know how to get past hurt feelings without telling the teacher and having her fix it.
過去的孩子放學後常常在戶外活動並且願意自己解決問題。而由於電腦和電視的影響，現在的孩子缺乏一種溝通交流的技能。如果不讓老師分享並且撫平他們的傷痛，孩子們真的不知道該如何邁過心裏的關卡。

5. When I hear a loud belch, I remember that a student's manners are a reflection of his parents'.
每當我聽到巨大的打嗝的聲音，我就會想到學生的禮儀就是其家長的縮影。

6. Your child may be the center of your universe, but I have to share mine with 25 others.
也許你的孩子是你家宇宙的中心，但在我這裏，我還要顧及到其他25個孩子。

7. Please help us by turning off the texting feature on your child's phone during school hours.
請協助我們讓孩子們在上課期間不要發送短信。

8. The truth is simple: Your kid will lie to get out of trouble.
真相很簡單：爲了避免麻煩，你的孩子會說謊。

9. Nobody says "the dog ate my homework" anymore, but we hear a lot of "I left it on the kitchen table." And then Mom will send in a note to back up the story.
孩子們不再說“狗狗吃了我的作業”，但我們常常聽到“我把作業拉在了廚房桌子上”這樣的藉口，而且媽媽們還會寫證明的字條來幫着孩子圓謊。

10. Encourage your child to keep reading. That's key to success in the classroom at any age.
鼓勵你的孩子多多閱讀。閱讀能力的強弱在任何年齡段的班級裏都是成功的關鍵因素。
