異類之不一樣的成功啟示錄 第181期:KIPP的學(xué)習(xí)生活

"They start school at seven twenty-five," David Levin says of the students at the Bronx KIPP academy.

“他們7點25分上課，”布朗克斯KIPP學(xué)院學(xué)生大衛(wèi)·李文說：

"They all do a course called thinking skills until seven fifty-five.

“我們所有的人都在上了一門思考技巧方面的課程，一直到上到7點55。

They do ninety minutes of English, ninety minutes of math every day, except in fifth grade, where they do two hours at math a day.

我們每天有90分鐘的英文課，90分鐘的數(shù)學(xué)課。除了五年級的學(xué)生，我們每天兩小時的數(shù)學(xué)課；

An hour of science, an hour of social science, an hour of music at least twice a week, and then you have an hour and fifteen minutes of orchestra on top of that. Everyone does orchestra.

一小時的科學(xué)課，一小時社會科學(xué)，一小時的音樂課，而且每周至少兩次。還有75分鐘的管弦樂器課，每個人都要上管弦樂器課。

The day goes from seven twenty-five until five. After five, there are homework clubs, detention, sports teams.

每天從7點25到直到下午5點00。5點00之后，有課后作業(yè)俱樂部、課后留校學(xué)生和體育小組。

There are kids here from seven twenty-five until seven p.m. in the evening.

有的孩子從早上7點25一直呆到晚上7點00。

If you take an average day, and you take our lunch and recess, our kids are spending fifty to sixty percent more time learning than the traditional public school students.”

平均每天算下來，去掉吃午餐和休息的時間，與傳統(tǒng)的公立學(xué)校的學(xué)生相比，我們這里的孩子每天要多出50%至60%的學(xué)習(xí)時間。”

Levin was standing in the school's main hallway. It was lunch time and the students were trooping by quietly in orderly lines, all of them in their KIPP Academy shirts.

李文正站在學(xué)校主要的走廊上。此刻是午飯時間，穿著校服的學(xué)生們正安靜而有序地排隊，一個女孩的襯衣下擺露了出來，

Levin stopped a girl whose shirttail was out. "Do me a favor, when you get a chance," called out, miming a tucking-in movement.

李文攔住了她，“拜托，幫下忙。”他一邊喊一邊做把衣服塞進(jìn)去的動作。

He continued, "Saturdays they come in nine to one. In the summer, it's eight to two.

他繼續(xù)說道：“周六時，他們上午9點到，下午1點走。在夏季，則是上午8點到下午2點。”

By summer, Levin was referring to the fact that KIPP students do three extra weeks of school, in July.

這里所說的夏天是在7月份，KIPP的學(xué)生會在這個月多上三個星期的課。

These are, after all, precise to the the kinds of lower income kids who Alexander identified as losing ground over the long summer vacation, so KIPP's response is simply not to have a long summer vacation.

這些學(xué)生正是被亞歷山大界定為低收入家庭的孩子，他們在暑假里沒有繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)的機會，因此，KIPP的暑假時間不長。
