美公立高中 服儀規定有4頁
2016-05-31 02:03 聯合報 李同穎／工程師、美國高中生家長（美國）
報載教育部公告不得將學生服裝儀容規定作為處罰依據，造成各校師生關係緊張，甚至還有學生故意穿便服加上藍白拖上學挑戰服儀規定。
美國各公立高中沒制服，也沒教官，但這並不表示學生愛穿什麼就穿什麼上學，事實上每個學區都自行制定服裝儀容規定。比如說不可以露出肩膀、背部、乳溝或肚臍；短裙短褲不可以高於膝蓋四吋；Ｔ恤衫上不可以有槍枝酒類產品髒話或非法藥物的圖像或文字；長褲不可以垮下到露出股溝或內褲的程度等。

Authentic Text Time in Adult Ed
Posted on 25 April 2016 by Robert Sheppard
Adult learners, especially immigrants who have various competing priorities which may take precedence over English, need to see an immediate application for their new language. In many contexts, English can be a luxury; for adult immigrants, it cannot be. As teachers, we must approach it with an urgency and immediacy that might be unusual in, say, a business EFL program. A student-driven environmental/authentic text time is one way to add relevance, immediacy, and authenticity to your adult English classes.
My comments: Even to teenage learners, authentic texts seem more real and interesting.

史克瑞普斯全美拼字大賽廿六日晚間舉行決賽，兩名印度裔美國學生、十三歲的賈蘭姆．哈塔瓦和十一歲的尼哈爾．江賈歷經史上最多輪的激烈對決，並列冠軍。尼哈爾首次參賽就奪冠，成為歷來最年輕的冠軍。

Stay Healthy
This evening, at a vegetarian restaurant, George and I bumped into a friend of George's who works in a hospital. He told us a shocking finding that a third of the patients in the hospital suffer from cancer. Why? Because of the food taken in, with so many harmful additives.
Furthermore, he mentioned the importance of keeping healthy. He said that most people don't know its importance until they lose their health, when it is too late.

Pisa tests to include 'global skills' and cultural awareness
By Andreas Schleicher OECD education director
25 May 2016
Pisa tests, an international standard for comparing education systems around the world, could include a new measurement of global skills in the next round of tests in 2018.
The OECD, which runs the tests in maths, reading and science, is considering adding another test which would look at how well pupils can navigate an increasingly diverse world, with an awareness of different cultures and beliefs.
The OECD's education director Andreas Schleicher explains why there is such a need for new rankings to show young people's competence in a world where globalisation is a powerful economic, political and cultural force.
Education leaders around the world are increasingly talking about the need to teach "global competences" as a way of addressing the challenges of globalisation.

Life of No Regrets--"日本醫生 大津秀一，在臨終病房 紀錄1000個人離世前的遺言：這15件事，你不看會後悔終生！"
My sister-in-law passed away at 5:15 this morning. The whole family is sad; however, she finally ended all her suffering. A booklet I read last Saturday mentioned that we can ask the dying about their unfulfilled wishes and tell him/her we will help to accomplish them. This reminds me of an article on a bulletin board in the hospice my sis-in-law stayed, part of which I shared thi past Sunday.

日本醫生 大津秀一，在臨終病房 紀錄1000個人離世前的遺言：這15件事，你不看會後悔終生！
美國版：人們臨終最後悔的 5件事有哪些？
最近，一個“臨終前你會後悔的事”的帖子在國內外網站上被瘋狂轉載，
瞬間點醒了數萬人。
它的作者是美國一名叫博朗尼·邁爾的臨終關懷護士，
文中總結了生命走到盡頭時 人們最後悔的5件事！
第一：“希望當初我有勇氣過自己真正想要的生活”
第二：“希望當初我沒有花這麽多精力在工作上錯過了關註孩子成長的樂趣，錯過了愛人溫暖的陪伴”
第三：“希望當初能有勇氣表達我的感受，而不是長期壓抑憤怒與消極情緒”
第四：“希望當初我能和朋友保持聯系，而沒有因忙碌的生活忽略了曾經閃亮的友情”
第五：“希望當初我能讓自己活得開心點，而不是習慣了掩飾，在人前堆起笑臉”
日本版：1000名患者向護士傾吐臨終遺憾
無獨有偶的，
在日本也有這樣一位年輕的臨終關懷醫生 大津秀一。

Regrets of the Dying--"臨終前你可能會後悔的五件事"--from CommonWealth
Today, I stayed at the hospice with my sister-in-law from 2pm to 10:15pm. Seeing a life withering, of course, I felt very sad. When explaining to us my sister-in-law's condition, the nurse said it would be my sister-in-law that decided when she would leave the world. Is it really so?
I came across a post on the bulletin board in front of my sister-in-law's ward. It mentions two articles, which remind its readers how to live. I found one of them online as follows:

美國總統歐巴馬的大女兒瑪莉亞已被哈佛大學錄取，但今年高中畢業後會先休學一年，待父親明年卸任後，才會跟隨父母的腳步進入哈佛就讀，過正常的新鮮人生活。瑪莉亞的選擇，掀起休學是否已成為趨勢的話題和兩大疑問：學生在「空檔年」（gap year）做些什麼？校方如何看待提出空檔年休學計畫的學生？
My comments: I didn't know about "gap year" until around 6 years ago when I bumped into this term in an English writing book. In the book was a writing topic: "How would you spend your gap year?" I then had my students write on this topic.

William Blake's Auguries of Innocence, plus an Interpretation
This morning, after reading a LINE message sent by my friend Annie, the first four lines of William Blake's Auguries of Innocence crawled into my mind:
"To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour."
To review this poem, I then surfed the Net and found the whole poem. After reading it twice, I looked for information about it. I was happy to come across the following website, at which the poem itself is presented and introduced as a whole. What's most impressive, the poem is interpreted line by line.

閱讀生活／學習到底是什麼？
2016-05-14 07:48 聯合報 文／奧黛莉．雅坤（認知行為心理治療師） 依莎貝爾．
假如問孩子學習是什麼？答案會隨年紀而有所不同。小學生一般會說：「就是背熟。」也就是死背的意思；國中生則大嘆一口氣說：「學習嘛，說來話長呀！」清楚顯示他們在這方面累積了一定的實戰經驗。至於高中生呢，劈頭就是一句：「那很煩啦！」話題也很難接續下去。
假如把這個問題拿來問父母，會得到迥然不同的回答，譬如「學習很棒呀！」、「對你的將來很重要！」和其他一些從家長立場看起來很正確的考量，恰恰證明了父母早已忘記（或假裝忘記）自己當年在孩子這個年紀時，也曾說過一模一樣的話。但我們能夠原諒他們啦，至於他們的小孩能不能原諒，那就難說囉！

Joy: A Subject Schools Lack
Becoming educated should not require giving up pleasure.
When Jonathan Swift proposed, in 1729, that the people of Ireland eat their children, he insisted it would solve three problems at once: feed the hungry masses, reduce the population during a severe depression, and stimulate restaurant business. Even as a satire, it seems repulsive and shocking in America with its child-centered culture. But actually, the country is closer to his proposal than you might think.

Thank you, Raymond and Anna!
This afternoon, I got a bouquet from my son and daughter-in-law for Mother's Day. Though it was a day late, I still felt like on top of the world! In fact, I was notified by a flower shop the day before yesterday while eating lunch with my mother, sister, and brother's family about the flowers. That means I have been happy about and thankful for the coming surprise for more than two days!

Time: 13:00~15:00
Place: Zhanlu Coffee, Neihu, Taipei
Pei-yi (陳珮宜) is a former student of mine who graduated from NHSH in 2009. I only taught her in her senior year. Our last meet-up was about two years ago.
