The pandemic have been difficult for all of us, but particularly for students, who have experienced major disruptions to both their education and their social lives.

这场疫情对我们所有人来说都是困难的，但对学生来说尤其如此，严重干扰了他们的教育和社会生活。

In a special program, our Student Reporting Labs team explores how young people are dealing with this new normal.

在一个特别的节目中，我们的学生报告实验室团队探索了年轻人如何应对这种新常态。

Here's a slice of their reporting, a look at one teacher taking an unconventional approach to learning.

下面是他们报道的一部分，让我们来看看一位老师采用非传统的学习方法。

Go do some tricks.

去玩点小把戏吧。

During the pandemic, I noticed that a lot of students were skateboarding.

疫情期间，我注意到很多学生在玩滑板。

I can see the skate park from my house.

从我家可以看到滑板公园。

So, when I see kids interested in something, I'm going to figure out a way to brick that into the classroom.

所以，当我看到孩子们对某件事感兴趣时，我会想办法把它塞进教室。

Ms. V. is a teacher at Red Canyon High School in Gypsum, Colorado, trying to solve a problem that students know all too well.

V女士是科罗拉多州吉普瑟姆市红峡谷高中的一名教师，她试图解决一个学生们都很熟悉的问题。

There is something missing in the education system.

教育系统缺少了一些东西。

Kids find themselves not wanting to go to school and at the skate park.

孩子们发现自己不想上学，也不想去滑板公园玩。

Why can't we take that something else that makes school a part of it ?

为什么我们不能把它变成学校的一部分呢 ?

While the class may just look like students fooling around at the skate park, they're actually learning about urban planning, design and how to build a stronger community.

虽然这门课看起来像是学生在滑板公园里闲逛，但他们实际上是在学习城市规划、设计以及如何建立一个更强大的社区。

We talked about barriers that stand in the way of kids being able to skate.

我们谈到了阻碍孩子们滑滑板的障碍。

And then we came up with solutions to those barriers to make skateboarding more accessible to all kids in our community.

然后我们想出了解决这些障碍的办法，让我们社区的所有孩子都能玩滑板。

Mostly, what we're doing right now is trying to get a skate park in Avon to make things a little more accessible to kids there and also help reduce the crowding.

最重要的是，我们现在正在做的是试图在埃文建立一个滑板公园，让那里的孩子更容易接近，也有助于减少拥挤。

We are working on getting funding from Tony Hawk Foundation to revamp this place that we're standing at right here.

我们正在努力从托尼·霍克基金会获得资金来改造我们现在所站的这个地方。

And we -- my group specifically has been working on a design that we think could be really cool.

我们——我的团队一直在研究一个我们认为很酷的设计。

I'm actually, like, doing work for my community.

我实际上是在为我的社区工作。

And it's not really like just a class anymore. I'm part of something bigger than just this class.

它不再只是一门课了。我参与的不仅仅是这门课。

With each new trick, students understand more about themselves, as well as how to connect, how to teach, and how to learn from one another.

随着每一个新技巧的出现，学生们对自己有了更多的了解，也了解了如何联系、如何教学以及如何互相学习。

It's hard. If you're learning to do from the most basic skill to a really difficult skill, it takes a lot of resilience to get back up and try again.

这很困难。如果你正在学习从最基本的技能到真正困难的技能，需要很强的韧性才能重新站起来再试一次。

It's one of those things where, if you could put your mind to something and just kind of get into it, you can really prove to yourself that you can do whatever you want.

这是这样一种事情，如果你能把你的心思放在某件事上并投入其中，你就能真正证明你可以做任何你想做的事情。

I always thought it was like super cool.

我一直觉得这很酷。

And I thought the skaters were super cool.

我觉得那些滑板选手超级酷。

So it just -- it makes me feel good. And I like learning new things.

所以这让我感觉很好。我喜欢学习新事物。

School can be stressful for kids these days.

现在的学校对孩子们来说压力很大。

And I think it's really important that we have these days to be able to just be able to relax, because it's not like we get recess anymore.

我认为现在我们能够放松一下真的很重要，因为我们不再有休息时间了。

We don't get to go play with our friends and use our imaginations.

我们不能和我们的朋友玩，不能发挥我们的想象力。

If we get rid of that creativity, by the time we're adults, we're not going to be doing anything useful with the world.

如果我们失去了这种创造力，到我们成年的时候，我们将无法为这个世界做任何有用的事情。

We're not going to be able to solve these world problems because we're all looking at the straight -- what's ahead of us, just not taking time think about things that are outside the box.

我们将无法解决这些世界上的问题，因为我们都在直视--我们面前的是什么，只是没有花时间去思考具有创造性的事物。

It helps a lot with conquering your fears, because it's scary to do some things.

这对克服恐惧很有帮助，因为有些事情会让人害怕。

And when you finally own up to it, it is relieving.

当你最终对此坦白的时候，你会感到轻松。

I recently learned how to drop in. It's really scary, but I did it.

我最近学会了如何下落。 真的很吓人，但我做到了。

And while Ms. V is teaching her students how to face their fears, at the same time, she had to do it herself.

当V女士在教她的学生如何面对他们的恐惧时，她不得不自己亲自去做。

I learned how to drop in.

我学会了如何下落。

And I was scared, because you fall.

我很害怕，因为你会摔倒。

And I'm looking at a student who is a language learner who I have watched take so many risks in the classroom, and I have watched sit there and struggle when he was younger.

我看着一个学习语言的学生，我看到他在课堂上冒了很多风险，我看到他以前坐在那里挣扎。

And I have, like, forced him to read and write and grow.

我强迫他去读，去写，去成长。

He's got the drop in. He totally can do it.

他做到了下落。 他完全可以做到。

And he's cheering me on. And so, of course, I'm going to take that risk.

他在为我加油。 所以，当然，我要冒这个险。
