Small Schools Rising
This year's list of the top 100 high schools shows that today, those with fewer students are flourishing.
Fifty years ago, they were the latest thing in educational reform: big, modern, suburban high schools with students counted in the thousands. As baby boomers(二战后婴儿潮时期出生的人) came of high-school age, big schools promised economic efficiency. A greater choice of courses, and, of course, better football teams. Only years later did we understand the trade-offs this involved: the creation of excessive bureaucracies(官僚机构)，the difficulty of forging personal connections between teachers and students.SAT scores began dropping in 1963;today,on average,30% of students do not complete high school in four years, a figure that rises to 50% in poor urban neighborhoods. While the emphasis on teaching to higher, test-driven standards as set in No Child Left Behind resulted in significantly better performance in elementary(and some middle)schools, high schools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made little progress.
Size isn't everything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen a noticeable countertrend toward smaller schools. This has been due ,in part ,to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1,000 small schools-most of them with about 400 kids each with an average enrollment of only 150 per grade, About 500 more are on the drawing board. Districts all over the country are taking notice, along with mayors in cities like New York, Chicago and San Diego. The movement includes independent public charter schools, such as No.1 BASIS in Tucson, with only 120 high-schoolers and 18 graduates this year. It embraces district-sanctioned magnet schools, such as the Talented and Gifted School, with 198 students, and the Science and Engineering Magnet,with383,which share a building in Dallas, as well as the City Honors School in Buffalo, N.Y., which grew out of volunteer evening seminars for students. And it includes alternative schools with students selected by lottery(抽签)，such as H-B Woodlawn in Arlington, Va. And most noticeable of all, there is the phenomenon of large urban and suburban high schools that have split up into smaller units of a few hundred, generally housed in the same grounds that once boasted thousands of students all marching to the same band.
Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, Calif, is one of those, ranking No.423-among the top 2% in the country-on Newsweek's annual ranking of America's top high schools. The success of small schools is apparent in the listings. Ten years ago, when the first Newsweek list based on college-level test participation was published, only three of the top 100 schools had graduating Classes smaller than 100 students. This year there are 22. Nearly 250 schools on the full ,Newsweek list of the top 5% of schools nationally had fewer than 200 graduates in 2007.
Although many of Hillsdale's students came from wealthy households, by the late 1990 average test scores were sliding and it had earned the unaffectionate nickname (绰号) &Hillsjail. & Jeff Gilbert. A Hillsdale teacher who became principal last year, remembers sitting with other teachers watching students file out of a graduation ceremony and asking one another in astonishment, &How did that student graduate?&
So in 2003 Hillsdale remade itself into three &houses,& romantically named Florence, Marrakech and Kyoto. Each of the 300 arriving ninth graders are randomly(随机地) assigned to one of the houses. Where they will keep the same four core subject teachers for two years, before moving on to another for 11th and 12th grades. The closeness this system cultivates is reinforced by the institution of &advisory& classes Teachers meet with students in groups of 25, five mornings a week, for open-ended discussions of everything from homework problems to bad Saturday-night dates. The advisers also meet with students privately and stay in touch with parents, so they are deeply invested in the students' success.&We're constantly talking about one another's advisers,& says English teacher Chris Crockett. &If you hear that yours isn't doing well in math, or see them sitting outside the dean's office, it's like a personal failure.& Along with the new structure came a more demanding academic program, the percentage of freshmen taking biology jumped from 17 to 95.&It was rough for some. But by senior year, two-thirds have moved up to physics,& says Gilbert &Our kids are coming to school in part because they know there are adults here who know them and care for them.&But not all schools show advances after downsizing, and it remains to be seen whether smaller schools will be a cure-all solution.
The Newsweek list of top U.S. high schools was made this year, as in years past, according to a single metric, the proportion of students taking college-level exams. Over the years this system has come in for its share of criticism for its simplicity. But that is also its strength: it's easy for readers to understand, and to do the arithmetic for their own schools if they'd like.
Ranking schools is always controversial, and this year a group of 38 superintendents(地区教育主管)from five states wrote to ask that their schools be excluded from the calculation.&It is impossible to know which high schools are 'the best' in the nation, &their letter read. in part. &Determining whether different schools do or don't offer a high quality of education requires a look at man different measures, including students' overall academic accomplishments and their subsequent performance in college. And taking into consideration the unique needs of their communities.&
In the end, the superintendents agreed to provide the data we sought, which is, after all, public information. There is, in our view, no real dispute here, we are all seeking the same thing, which is schools that better serve our children and our nation by encouraging students to tackle tough subjects under the guidance of gifted teachers. And if we keep working toward that goal, someday, perhaps a list won't be necessary.

研究生英语《反穿之幽灵男闺蜜》 第33章 nozuonodiewhyyoutry
类别：玄幻魔法
作者：蓼斐清 书名：
&&&&办公室的门被嘭的一声关上,里面说的话是绝对不会传到外面来的。莫迎站在门外,走到萧澜身边：“刚刚你发现了没有？”&&&&“什么？”萧澜不明所以。&&&&莫迎抬眼看了下紧闭的雕花木门：“刚刚进去的那个女人,身上的气息很不对劲。”&&&&不知道是出于什么原因,萧澜发自内心的不喜欢罗茜，自然也不会怎么去留意她，更不用说什么在意到那么一丁点儿的不对劲了，所以她也不知道莫迎说的是指什么。&&&&“我觉得刚刚身上的气息,跟以前看到过的几次很不一样。”莫迎微微蹙眉，“具体在什么方面我也说不上来，但总觉得在哪里感受到过。”&&&&“你是属狗的？”萧澜挑了挑眉。&&&&“什么？”莫迎没听懂。&&&&“鼻子那么灵。”萧澜补充了一句。&&&&跟在旁边的三七轻轻咳嗽了一声。说实话,就算它是狗，它都没有感受到刚才那个女人有什么不对劲。&&&&此时正是上班的时间，除妖中心里面妖来妖往，工作人员也都在各自的岗位上忙碌。萧澜他们才在白屏如的办公室门口站了一会儿，就有人来很礼貌地请他们离开。&&&&萧澜对除妖中心的那些规矩清楚的很，也没怎么多留，而是领着莫迎和三七去了个最近的咖啡厅。&&&&虽说除妖中心不缺电脑，但是萧澜很清楚，他们是绝对不会把电脑借给她的。要看到刚刚拿到手的资料，还是些找个地方坐下再说。&&&&拿出包里的笔记本电脑插上u盘，萧澜一边喝着咖啡，一边浏览着刚刚拷贝过来的文档。莫迎喝不惯咖啡这种东西，就站在她身后，也在看着电脑屏幕。&&&&由于殷玉是这个案子里面最重要的证人，所以除妖中心对她的调查丝毫不嫌多。特别是在她莫名其妙失踪以后，她更是引发了除妖中心的重视。不然的话，这也只是一个很普通的厉鬼伤人小案子罢了。&&&&殷玉这次虽然失踪了一个多月，但是这个“失踪”仅仅是在除妖中心眼里的。在学校那边和殷玉家里那边，她都有完美的不在场理由，丝毫不会引起什么怀疑。&&&&所以这次殷玉的出现也仅仅是让除妖中心惊讶了一把，并没有给平静的校园生活带来什么波澜。&&&&看完殷玉的资料简介，萧澜一边点着文档右上角的叉，一边叹了口气：&“这姑娘也算可怜的了。”&&&&殷玉实在是一个再普通不过的人，作为一个普普通通的大学女生，却在不断地遭遇一些常人无法想象的事情，她平静的大学生活已经被完全打断，能不能继续下去都难说。&&&&莫迎一直在看着屏幕，听完萧澜的话后，突然幽幽地来了一句：“no&zuo&no&die。”&&&&“噗……咳咳咳咳咳……”萧澜一口喷出刚刚送到嘴里的咖啡，一边咳嗽着一边转过头看着表情要多正经有多正经的莫迎。&&&&“呃……我说错了吗？”莫迎也被萧澜夸张的反应，还以为是自己说错了，不由得有些不好意思。&&&&“错倒是没错……”就是这种话从莫迎嘴里冒出来，那是要多怪异有多怪异。萧澜一边用纸巾擦着嘴角的咖啡渍，一边问道：“这话谁教你的？”&&&&只是她这话是在问莫迎，眼神却是瞟向了一旁抬头望天的三七。&&&&果然，莫迎依旧那么诚实：“三七。”&&&&由于爪子操作多有不便，所以三七每次玩游戏的时候都会拉着莫迎一起。久而久之，莫迎对三七在游戏里面说的话耳濡目染，各种网络语言信手拈来，不自觉的就在现实中给说了出来。&&&&萧澜把目光放回在莫迎身上：“它有没有教你这句话是什么意思？”&&&&莫迎点了点头：“这句话的意思是凡事有因必有果，所有不幸的结果，必定有其产生的源头。”&&&&三七继续抬头望天装作什么都不知道，萧澜忍俊不禁的笑着说道：“虽然大致意思没怎么错，但还是少说的好，特别在形容殷玉这种可怜人的时候。”&&&&莫迎若有所思的点点头，继续盯着看萧澜点开了下一个资料文档。&&&&关于这个案子都分门别类的放在不同的文档里面，萧澜随后点开的几个都是一些常规的调查细节，并没有什么值得过多关心的地方。而萧澜最想知道的那个东西，这上面却丝毫没有提到。&&&&“上次你抱回来的那个罐子，好像没看到。”莫迎开口说道。&&&&那个罐子是萧澜废了九牛二虎之力抱回来的，他们也都知道那个东西肯定不同寻常。可是在白屏如给的这份资料里面，那个举足轻重的罐子一下子都没有被提到，就像是从来没有出现过一般。&&&&萧澜点了点头，眉头都皱在一起，显然她在找的也就是莫迎所说的东西。&&&&以除妖中心的能力，不可能连一只罐子是什么都分析不出来，白屏如刚刚也说了，因为那只罐子萧澜还可以省去一大笔费用。可是除妖中心一向最注重合同效力，合同上写了资料共享，就不会刻意隐瞒。&&&&可是现在这份资料上确实没有那只罐子的资料，那就说明它跟殷玉的案子关系不大，甚至根本就没有关系。&&&&不过虽然资料上没有提到罐子的消息，但是倒有提到伤害殷玉的那只男鬼。过了这么久，男鬼醒到是醒了，只是不论别人问什么，他都不说话。除妖中心采取了各种手段，都没办法从他的嘴里问出些什么，到现在就连名字他的名字都不知道。&&&&因为他随身的戒指上刻着“lq”两个字母，所以资料上都是称呼他为“lq”。lq至今还被关在除妖中心，依旧持续着每天发呆走神的样子，连发呆牢骚都不曾有过。有不少工作人员都深深怀疑过，这只男鬼会不会是个哑巴。&&&&同样都是男鬼，男鬼和男鬼之间会不会稍微好交流一些呢？萧澜这么说着，正准备对莫迎说些什么，眼角的余光里就看到一黑一粉两个身影从咖啡厅的门口走了进来。&&&&一眼瞟到这两个身影，萧澜下意识地就把头往下低了低，把自己挡在了电脑屏幕之后。&&&&刚刚走进来的那个穿着淡粉色短款羽绒服的女孩是何一薇，走在她旁边的却是李凤云。&&&&一般情况下，萧澜当然是要冲何一薇打打招呼的，可是现在她身边站着的却是李凤云，让她不得不需要好好掂量一下。&&&&萧澜可从来没忘过李凤云在慕容嫣的那个案子里的特殊身份，这个把月里她也曾想进一步调查李凤云。可是在没有除妖中心帮助的情况下，以她一个普通大学生的身份，根本就没有可能接触到李凤云这样的高端人士。而且李凤云自从那天晚上以后，就再也没去过鬼吧，能打听到她消息的机会更是少之又少。&&&&不过她毕竟是社会精英，一些杂志上还是会报一些消息。从这些媒体上的报道来看，李凤云这一个月过的可谓风生水起，黄木的“病危”丝毫没有给她造成任何困扰，相反的，正是因为黄木的病重，她已经控制住黄木名下的所有产业资源，现在是黄氏集团实际上的当家人。&&&&萧澜看李凤云和何一薇在咖啡厅坐定，从电脑屏幕上方往她们坐的地方瞟了两眼。&&&&李凤云和何一薇都是侧对着萧澜的，以萧澜的视角看过去，现在的李凤云早就不像一个月前那样憔悴，整个人从内到外散发着特殊于女强人的神采。她架在鼻梁上太阳镜已经取下，精致的妆容在水晶灯的柔光下显得愈发典雅。&&&&不过不知道李凤云和何一薇在说些什么，两人的表情都不见得有多高兴，甚至还带着点凝重。何一薇打扮的很清爽，正拿勺子有一下没一下的搅拌着杯子里的咖啡。&&&&和何一薇认识了这么多年，跟她也算是非常好的朋友，可是萧澜从来不知道她会跟李凤云这样的人有什么交集。发现最好的朋友有着自己不知道的一面，说得矫情点，萧澜现在有那么一点儿受伤。&&&&如果是在以前的话，萧澜指不定就会等李凤云走了后，直接去向何一薇打听李凤云的消息。可是现在，她知道绝不能这么做。&&&&“我过去看看。”莫迎很主动的说了一声，就往她们所在的方向走去。&&&&没人可以看到莫迎，李凤云和何一薇自然也是不会知道他的靠近。可何一薇却是突然停止了搅拌咖啡，脸上也挂起了客套的笑容，对李凤云不断地说些什么。&&&&萧澜不知道她们俩在说什么，却可以看到莫迎蹙起了眉头，似是有些不解。&&&&何一薇和李凤云的交谈没有持续多久，也就喝一杯咖啡的功夫。李凤云临走前抬手看了看腕上的表，似乎是赶时间，就先走了一步，何一薇在她走后没多久，也抬腿出门。&&&&何一薇走到咖啡厅门口的时候，似乎是不经意地往萧澜这边望了一下，而后眼睛亮了亮，出声喊道：“萧澜！”&&&&作者有话要说：貌似很久没更新，90度三鞠躬道歉！这段时间是考试月，各种考试山一般地压过来，真心快要累趴下。昨晚刚考完一科，明天还有一科，今天抓紧时间码一章出来。等这个星期天考完六级，就可以暂时肆无忌惮的码字更新了~~&&&&最后，还是非常感谢还在支持这篇文的各位，再次90度三鞠躬！
您的到来是对我们最大的支持， 喜欢就多多介绍朋友来吧!
