I waited 14 years to do something that I should have done in my first year of teaching: shadow a student for a day.

This is the first year I am working in a school but not teaching my own classes. Being the High School Learning Coach, a new position for the school this year, my job is to work with teachers and administrators（管理人员） to improve students’ learning outcomes.

As part of getting my feet wet, my principal suggested I “be” a student for a day: I was to complete all the work of a 10th-grade student. My task was to do everything the student was supposed to do: If there were notes on the board, I copied them as fast as I could into my notebook; if there was a chemistry experiment, I did it with my host student; if there was a test, I took it.

I could not believe how dog-tired I was after the day, because I literally sat down the whole day, except for walking to and from classes. We forget as teachers, because we are on our feet a lot --- in front of the board, walking as we speak, circling around the room to check on student work... we move a lot.

But students almost never move, because in every class, the expectation was for us to come in, take our seats, and sit down for the whole class. Therefore, by the end of the day I was eager to move. I had planned to go back to my office and write down some notes on the day, but I was so exhausted that I couldn’t do anything but watch TV and I was in bed by 8:30.

If I could do back and change my classes now, I would immediately change the following three things:

① mandatory stretch（强制伸展）halfway through the class;

② put a basketball hoop（篮筐）on the back of my door and encourage kids to play in the first and final minutes of class;

③ build a hands-on, move-around activity into every single class day.

 

4. Why did the principal suggest the author do the task?

  A. To help the author with her new job.

  B. To allow the author to realize her dream.

  C. To let the author learn from other teachers.

  D. To test whether the author was a good coach.

5. What was the author supposed to do in class?

  A. Instruct the students how to take notes.

  B. Find out what subject the students liked.

  C. Do what the students were required to do.

  D. Teach students to do chemical experiments.

6. How did the author feel after the day?

  A. She lost interest in TV.

  B. She had pity for students.

  C. She felt unsatisfied with the school.

  D. She thought teachers move too much.

7. What do the three changes have in common?

  A. They are after-class activities.

  B. They encourage students to love sports.

  C. They prevent students from sitting too long.

  D. They are good for both teachers and students.

Jack White is a 17-year-old student who has already published a collection of poetry with a local publisher. Jack believes switching (转) to an all-boys school from his coed (男女同校) high school changed his life.

“When I was at my coed school, poetry was for girls， not boys. Guys were supposed to like subjects like math, computers, and science. When I wrote poems, the guys at school used to make fun of me and girls didn’t want to date me. At my new school, things are different. I don’t worry what girls are thinking since there aren’t any.”

Jack may not realize that boys and girls also learn and think differently based on specific (具体的) biological developments. These differences affect how and when boys and girls learn, so single-sex education is actually better for children.

Take, for example, brain development. The areas of the brain related to language, feelings, physical coordination (协调), and social relationships, develop in a different order and speed in girls and boys. Research has shown that girls’ brains develop the connections between language and emotions earlier than boys’ brains. In a single-sex classroom, everyone’s brain is developing at similar speeds, so teachers can teach according to their students’ actual abilities.

Boys and girls also have different hearing abilities. Girls have a sense of hearing which is two to four times better than boys. Women teachers often speak more quietly, so boys may have more difficulty hearing a woman teacher if she is talking in her “normal” voice. The teacher needs to speak louder to get the boys’ attention. In a single-sex school, teachers do not have to keep adjusting (调整) their voice.

Jack might not be aware of the biological arguments why single-sex education is better, but he realizes that he is learning faster at his new school. As Jack says, “I
