6、to spend holidays during term-time,views on the issue vary from person to person.Parents claim that by doing so,they can save a lot of money born of busy school holidays.Educational officials strongly oppose this tendency on the ground that it encourages truancy,which in turn damages a childs educat

7、ion.From my perspective,the merits of banning term-time holidays outweigh its demerits.To begin with,taking tough measures on this kind of truancy is conducive to the normal teaching process,one of the key elements to guarantee kids academic performance.As we know,currently,teachers have the discret

8、ion to approve a certain time of absence from school for each child,which is supposed to be for illness and is not supposed to be granted for holidays.By definitely abolishing the right of head teachers to“authorize absence”from the classroom,those teachers can rarely be pestered by parents who want

9、 to take children to go on a holiday just to save money,which severely disrupts teaching process.What s more,without strict penalties imposed on the parents who lead to their kids playing truant,those parents can gradually view asking for holiday leave as a right.Once this cultural expectation is fo

10、rmed,the level of truancy will dramatically increase.Accordingly,the growing trend of term-time holidays should be banned with no delay.In this way,teachers can impart knowledge without disturbance and parents will be deterred from saving money at the expense of sacrificing their kids education.2016

14、-teaching seventh graders math in the New York City public schools.And like any teacher,I made quizzes and tests.I gave out homework assignments.When the work came back,I calculated grades.What struck me was that I.Q.was not the only difference between my best and my worst students.Some of my strong

15、est performers did not have super I.Q.scores.Some of my smartest kids werent doing so well.And I felt interested in knowing the reason why the students math performance is not that closely related to their IQ scores.I started studying kids and adults in all kinds of challenging settings,and in every

16、 study my question was,who is successful here and why?My research team and I went to West Point Military Academy.We tried to predict which students would stay in military training and which would drop out.We went to the National Spelling Contest and tried to predict which children would advance furt

17、hest in competition.We worked with private companies,asking,which of these sales people is going to keep their jobs?And whos going to earn the most money?We went to many places.And finally,one characteristic emerged as a significant predictor of success.And it wasnt social intelligence.It wasnt good

18、 looks,physical health,and it wasnt I.Q.It was grit.What is grit?Well,grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals.Grit is sticking with your future,day in,day out,not just for the week,not just for the month,but for years,and working really hard to make future a reality.Grit is living

19、your life like its a marathon,not a sprint.A few years ago,I started studying grit in the Chicago public schools.I asked thousands of high school juniors to take grit questionnaires,and then waited around more than a year to see who would graduate.It turned out that grittier kids were significantly

20、more likely to graduate,even when I matched them on every characteristic I could measure,things like family income,test scores,and so on.To me,the most shocking thing about grit is how little we know,how little science knows,about building it.Every day,parents and teachers asked me,How do I build gr

21、it in kids?How do I keep them motivated for the long run?Our data show very clearly that there are many talented individuals who simply do not follow through on their commitment.In fact,in our data,grit is usually unrelated to measures of talent.So far,the best idea Ive heard about building grit in

22、kids is something called growth mindset.Growth mindset is the belief that the ability to learn is not fixed,that it can change with your effort.Kids with grit are much more likely to persevere when they fail,because they dont believe that failure is a permanent condition.So growth mindset is a great

23、 idea for building grit.But we need more.And thats where Im going to end my talk,because thats where we are.Thats the work that stands before us.We have to be willing to fail,to be wrong,to start over again with lessons learned.As a conclusion,we need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier.Nex

32、 Spencer.He is the senior financial analyst from SBC Bank.Welcome to you.M:Thank you,nice to be with you.W:Now,I guess there are two kinds of debts,good debt and bad debt.Where does this go?M:Well,student loan debt is traditionally considered good debt,but the problem for many students and their fam

33、ilies is that the cost of colleges has been going up at 6-8%a year,far faster than the income,far faster than the standard of living.That means debts taking on a bigger and bigger role in financing education.W:How much debt is too much debt for-for one student?M:Well,one guideline is that you look a

34、t the first-year salary in your field after graduation,and use that as a barometer,but even then W:Is that right?M:Well,you are talking big payments even in that instance.For example,30,000 dollars worth of debt,if you are gonna repay that over 10 years,you are talking more than 300 dollars a months

35、 debt in payments every month for 10 years.W:But there are surely more than one way to get a loan for college.There are government programs,there are so many kinds of grants.Whats-whats the best advice for people who are looking for these loans to try to keep themselves from going under?M:I understa

36、nd that loans are just one way of college finance.Take advantage of the other opportunities,things like a college savings plan.Let-let you save on a tax advantage basis,so you can put money away in these accounts and withdraw tax-free to pay for that education.W:So its important to start early and t
