First part (Question1 ): What are the principles?

Passage Reading

A. Language points

B. Questions

Main idea: the principles of the Hyde School

Para.1 The Hyde School operates on the principle that if you teach students the merit of such values as truth, courage, integrity, leadership, curiosity and concern, then academic achievement naturally follows. Hyde School founder Joseph Gauld claims success with the program at the $18,000-a-year high school in Bath, Maine, which has received considerable publicity for its work with troubled youngsters.Para.2 “We don’t see ourselves as a school for a type of kid,” says Malcolm Gauld, Joseph’s son, who graduated from Hyde and is now headmaster. “We see ourselves as preparing kids for a way of life—by cultivating a comprehensive set of principles that can affect all kids.”

A. Language points

1. see…as :将某人或某物视作 Consider someone or something to be

员工们将新的经理视作公司的希望。The employees see the new manager as the hope of the company.

Para 3 Now, Joe Gauld is trying to spread his controversial Character First idea to public, inner-city schools willing to use the tax dollars spent on the traditional program for the new approach. The first Hyde public school program opened in September 1992. Within months the program was suspended. Teachers protested the program’s demands and the strain associated with more intense work.

Main idea: Failure in spreading the Hyde principles.

Other US school managers are eyeing the program, too. Last fall, the Hyde Foundation opened a magnet program within a public high school in the suburbs of New Haven, Connecticut, over parents’ protests. The community feared the school would attract inner-city minority and troubled students.

In one English class, the 11 students spend the last five minutes in an energetic exchange evaluating their class performance for the day on a 1-10 scale.Para 6 “I get a 10.”Para 7 “I challenge that. You didn’t do either your grammar or your spelling homework.” Para 8 “OK, a seven.”Para 9 “You ought to get a six.”Para 10 “Wait, I put my best effort forth here.”Para 11 “Yeah, but you didn’t ask questions today.”

What are the detailed principles or approaches advocated by the Hyde School?

Passage Reading

A.Language points

B.Questions

Para 12 Explaining his approach to education, Joe Gauld says the conventional education system cannot be reformed. He notes “no amount of change” with the horse and carriage “will produce an automobile”. The Hyde School assumes “every human being has a unique potential” that is based on character, not intelligence or wealth. Conscience and hard work are valued. Success is measured by growth, not academic achievement. Students are required to take responsibility for each other. To avoid the controversy of other character programs used in US schools, Gauld says the concept of doing your best has nothing to do with forcing the students to accept a particular set of morals or religious values..

What does the Hyde School assume?

他的观点太保守。He is so conventional in his views.

1. conventional 传统的；常规的 of the traditional or accepted type

Example

A. Language points

Para 13 The Hyde curriculum is similar to conventional schools that provide preparation for college, complete with English, history, math and science. But all students are required to take performing arts and sports, and provide a community service. For each course, students get a grade for academic achievement and for “best effort”. At Bath, 97% of the graduates attend four-year colleges.

Main idea: courses and management of the Hyde School

Example

A. Language points

Para 14 Commitment among parents is a key ingredient in the Hyde mixture. For the student to gain admission, parents also must agree to accept and demonstrate the school’s philosophies and outlook. The parents agree in writing to meet monthly in one of 20 regional groups, go to a yearly three-day regional retreat, and spend at least three times a year in workshops, discussion groups and seminars at Bath. Parents of Maine students have an attendance rate of 95% in the many sessions. Joe and Malcolm Gauld both say children tend to do their utmost when they see their parents making similar efforts. The biggest obstacle for many parents, they say, is to realize their own weaknesses.

Main idea: a key ingredient in the Hyde mixture is requiring commitment and participation from parents

What should the parents do?

她的第一反应很奇怪，又高兴又愤怒。

Her first reaction was a strange mixture of joy and anger.

Para 15 The process for public school parents is still being worked out, with a lot more difficulty because it is difficult to convince parents that it is worthwhile for them to participate. Of the 100 students enrolled in New Haven, about 30% of the parents attend special meetings. The low attendance is in spite of commitments they made at the outset of the program when Hyde officials interviewed 300 families.

Para 17 One former inner-city high school teacher who now works in the New Haven program, says teachers also benefit. “Here we really begin to focus on having a fruitful relationship with each student. Our focus is really about teacher to student and then we together deal with the... academics. In the traditional high school setting, it’s teacher to the material and then to the student.” The teacher-student relationship is taken even further at Hyde. Faculty evaluations are conducted by the students.
