“A” for Attitude
English was always my favorite subject. In my freshman year of high school, I could write a killer composition. In my second year, my teacher me to give spelling tests to the class. I had a time of my junior year. Mrs Alexander me to sit at her desk and take over the class when she had to leave the room. Only my senior English class was , as we had a teacher right out of college who expected work. Every student received a "C" or "D" grade the first quarter. But English was still my favorite subject.
I graduated from high school, early and had children. about my English, I often helped my kids with their English homework. And I wrote long articles and beautiful poetry as a columnist for a newspaper. Fifteen years later, I went to college, and because I had been an "A" student, I remained an "A" student. I up to my own expectations.
Yesterday, I my high school report cards when I was reading old papers. That bundle of report cards back the old days. I remembered sitting in my advisor's office, explaining that I had always be at English, and recommending that I did not deserve a '"D" from that inexperienced teacher of my senior year. The advisor was but unable to change a(an) . Reading through my old report cards revealed something else too. I wanted to them or hide them. I was not an "A" student in high school English! Somehow, I had myself of this, when the grades clearly reflected an average student with an "A" or "B" but mostly "C” S.
Had I lived up to those grades and myself according to those letters, I would have never confidently sought my writing career. Had I my early grades instead of myself, I would have allowed my fear of failure to enthusiasm and damage my creativity. Instead, I my younger self as an "A" English student, except for that undeserved "D".

In a small open courtyard, outside a school building, there were flowers here and there. In the sunshine，a was lying on the grass，reading a book with concentration. Near her，another child was carefully watering the flowers, while a third was with his back against a tree and had a on his knees. He appeared to be drawing or writing something on it. He was in his task, like the first child.
the building, there were pleasant carpeted areas. Many children were busy with their tasks in a variety of while teachers wandered among them, talking to them, them, and encouraging their efforts.
I watched this scene on a morning in May years ago, it to me that a visitor here would have thought he had entered a formal school. He would have been even more if he had been told that the children he was came from different kinds of academic levels.
That has been staying with me ever since. I have been about some problems. Why in many schools are our children asked to acquire skills in a way from a real-life context（情境）? Why does a school child so often become a defeated school failure?
Developmental psychologist Margaret Donald once said, “ of the intellectual framework (知识框架) on which we our teaching is misleading.” In my opinion, a child learns everything in human situation. And if every child could learn in the same way as the children in the school I visited, they would develop better.
