做个好学生 你知道老师的想法吗?

A look inside a teacher's mind could help you understand lesson plans and maybe even guide your child to perform better.
了解老师的想法不仅可以帮助家长理解课程的设置，更有助于让你的孩子表现得更好。

1. The students we remember are happy, respectful, and good-hearted, not necessarily the ones with the highest grades.
让我们牢记在心的是那些快乐的、懂得尊重他人的，并且拥有一副好心肠的学生，而决不仅仅只是那些成绩优异的学生。

2. Kids dish on your secrets all the time--money, religion, politics, even Dad's vasectomy.
孩子们总喜欢提及你们的秘密——包括金钱、宗教信仰、政治观点，甚至输精管结扎。

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.
我不是婚姻顾问。在家长会上，让我们专注于孩子们的表现，而不是抱怨丈夫不帮你做家务。

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.
过去的孩子放学后常常在户外活动并且愿意自己解决问题。而由于电脑和电视的影响，现在的孩子缺乏一种沟通交流的技能。如果不让老师分享并且抚平他们的伤痛，孩子们真的不知道该如何迈过心里的关卡。

5. When I hear a loud belch, I remember that a student's manners are a reflection of his parents'.
每当我听到巨大的打嗝的声音，我就会想到学生的礼仪就是其家长的缩影。

6. Your child may be the center of your universe, but I have to share mine with 25 others.
也许你的孩子是你家宇宙的中心，但在我这里，我还要顾及到其他25个孩子。

7. Please help us by turning off the texting feature on your child's phone during school hours.
请协助我们让孩子们在上课期间不要发送短信。

8. The truth is simple: Your kid will lie to get out of trouble.
真相很简单：为了避免麻烦，你的孩子会说谎。

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.
孩子们不再说“狗狗吃了我的作业”，但我们常常听到“我把作业拉在了厨房桌子上”这样的借口，而且妈妈们还会写证明的字条来帮着孩子圆谎。

10. Encourage your child to keep reading. That's key to success in the classroom at any age.
鼓励你的孩子多多阅读。阅读能力的强弱在任何年龄段的班级里都是成功的关键因素。
