23、见到每个老师,都要说某某老师好;
Rule 23 \like, \(Note: If you are in line with the rest of class, you are not allowed to speak to the teachers at that time because the no-talking rule is in effect. You should speak to other teachers if you are entering or leaving the school, on recess, on an errand, or changing classes.)
克拉克老师要求孩子们“要迅速记住全校老师的名字”,并在遇到的时候打招呼,同时还没忘记强调排队走路的时候除外,因为那时有“不许讲话”的纪律。克拉克老师希望学生们培养起良好的社交习惯,以便进入社会后“能主动了解周围的同事或邻居”,“并努力做到善意、有礼貌地对待别人。”
24、注意洗手间的卫生,把身边的病原减少到最少;
Rule 24 \room, get a paper towel before washing your hands. After washing your hands, use the paper towel to turn off the faucets and to press the dispenser to get another paper towel to dry your hands. (Or use the towel to press the button to start the dryer.) The last thing you want to do is touch areas with clean hands that others have touched with dirty hands.\
25、让客人有宾至如归的感觉;
Rule 25 \send two students to the front door of the building. You will have a sign welcoming the person. When our visitor arrives, you will shake hands, tell him or her who you are, and welcome the person to our school. You will then take the visitor on a small tour of the building before bringing him or her to the classroom.\
“如果有人要参观我们教室,我会派两名学生在教学楼前等候,并举着一个欢迎牌。当我们的参观者到来时,接待者要和他们握手,向他们作自我介绍,并致欢迎辞,然后,在带他们进教室之前,先领他们简单地参观一下校园。”
如果我是来访者,我对如此接待会感到很新奇、很欣赏、很欣慰。对孩子只要要求他们这样做,我认为孩子绝对可以做的到。孩子会从中学到些什么呢?
27、同学受罚的时候,不要看着他;
Rule 27 “If I or any other teacher in school is speaking to or disciplining a student, do not look at that student. You wouldn’t want others looking at you if you were in trouble or being reprimanded, so don’t look at others in that situation. If you are the student I am talking to, do not get angry or fuss at students who are looking at you. Let me know and I will handle the situation.”
主观上,特别喜欢这一条,周围的人很多做不到这一点,家长首先做不到,孩子们也难。
以后我还会告诉他,不要随便同情谁,不是不善良,而是只要能够自立,不同情就是尊重。“为了避免尴尬和因公开展示而引起的愤怒,我要保证孩子们理解和遵守这个规矩。”不做落井下石、幸灾乐祸的事是对的,我还是那句话“己所不欲,勿施于人。”但是,老师也该注意保护小孩子的自尊心。
28、对作业的问题,可以打电话来我家,我没接的话,你可以留言,但只要留一次就够了;
Rule 28 \you have a question about your homework, you may call me. If I am not there to answer the phone, please leave a message in the following manner: \Mr. Clark, this is _______________. I need help with the _______________ homework. You can call me back until ___:00. Thank you.\
30、吃完饭,自己的垃圾自己处理;
Rule 30 “There are several manners dealing with food that you must follow: I call these my ABC’s of Etiquette. A. When you first sit down for a meal, immediately place you napkin in your lap. If you silverware is wrapped in a napkin, unwrap it as soon as you sit down and place the napkin in your lap.
B. When you are finished eating, place your napkin on the table to the left of your plate. Place it loosely beside the plate. Don’t crumple it, because you don’t want to seem untidy. Don’t fold it too neatly, because you don’t want the restaurant to think you assume they are going to use it again. Never leave your napkin on your chair. This implies that the napkin is too dirty
to be left on the table. Also, in some cultures, leaving the napkin on the chair is known as a way to say that you don’t intend to return to the restaurant again. C. Never place you elbows on the table.
D. Use one hand to eat, unless you are cutting or buttering food. Never have your fork in one hand and a glass in the other.
E. Do not lick your fingers. There is a napkin provided for the purpose of cleaning your fingers. There is no need to lick yourself clean. F. Do not smack you lips or chew noisily. G. Do not chew with your mouth open.
H. Do not talk with your mouth full. Sometimes people will place a hand over their mouth and talk anyway. Don’t do that. Wait until you have swallowed your food to speak.
I. If something is caught in your teeth, don’t go in after it; wait until you are in the rest room to remove it. J. D not slurp.
K. Do not play with your food.
L. If you drop your fork, napkin, or anything else on the floor, DO NOT pick it up. It is very rude and unsanitary to place something on the table that has been on the floor. If you pick up something that has dropped and hand it to a waiter, then you will need to excuse yourself and wash your hands before continuing with your meal. The best way to handle a situation when something has dropped on the floor is to ask a waiter for a replacement; leave the old one on the floor.
M. You are to use your utensils for eating almost everything. Here are ten types of food you may use your hands to eat: 1. Pizza 2. Bacon 3. Cookies
4. Bread (Always tear off a bite-sized piece to eat. If you are going to use butter, never butter the whole piece of bread; butter the piece you tore off, and eat that before tearing another piece.) 5. Corn on the cob (It is appropriate to eat across instead of eating around.) 6. Hot dogs, hamburgers, and sandwiches (including breakfast biscuits)
7. French fries and chips 8. Fried chicken
9. Asparagus (yes, asparagus)
10. Small fruits (like grapes on a stem), apples, oranges, carrots, etc.
N. Never reach over someone’s plate to get something. You should say, “Will you please pass the salt?”
O. Never start eating off of your tray until you are at your seat.
P. When we are eating at a restaurant, you are not to begin eating until everyone at the table has received food.
Q. You should never complain if the line is too long, the food isn’t good, or if there is a wait. You don’t want to be negative to the point where you spoil the enjoyment of the event for others.
R. If you are unsure which silverware to use, simply start with the fork, knife or spoon that is the farthest from your plate. On the left, you will have your salad fork on the outside and your
dinner fork on the inside. On the far right, you will have your soupspoon. Beside it you will have the spoon you will use to stir your coffee or tea, then your salad knife, and then your dinner knife. The utensils above your plate are to be used for dessert.
S. When you are finished eating, do not push your plate away from you. Leave it where it is in the setting. If you want to show you have finished eating, you should lay your fork and knife together diagonally across the plate. You should place the fork with the tines down, and you should have the sharp side of the knife facing down. Of the two utensils, the fork should be closest to you.
T. Never place a piece of silverware that you have used back on the table. Leave it on a plate or saucer.
U. If you didn’t use a utensil, do not place it on a plate or saucer when you are finished. Just leave it where it is.
V. Always look a waiter in the eyes when you are ordering, asking a question, or saying thank you. W. Make a point to remember the waiter’s name when he introduces himself to you. Use his name as often as possible throughout the course of the meal.
X. If you have to go to the rest room, you should stand up and say, “Excuse me,” as you leave the table.
Y. When you are offered desserts or asked a question such as “What sides would you like?” or “What dressing would you like for your salad?” it is best to ask, “What are my options?” That way, you aren’t going through a process of naming things the restaurant might not have.
Z. Never talk to waiters or waitresses as if they are servants. Treat them with respect and kindness, and remember, they are the ones who are fixing food and bringing it to you. You do not want to be on the bad side of a waiter.”
克拉克老师要求他的学生们吃晚饭要把桌子擦干净,掉在地上的要捡起来仍到垃圾筒里,还要检查垃圾箱周围有没有垃圾并清理干净。克拉克老师还要求孩子看到别人乱丢的垃圾也要拣起来,经常奖励拣垃圾的孩子,也经常公布不拣垃圾的孩子。为此花了一年的时间才基本培养好了一个班的孩子。
31. 不要随处乱扔垃圾
Rule 31 “After we eat, we will clean up after ourselves. This include cleaning off the tables and making sure we haven’t left any trash on the floor or around the eating area. It is important to be responsible for your trash no matter where you are and to be sure not to litter.”
32.住旅馆要对好的服务给予评价和适当的小费
Rule 32 \workers who are responsible for cleaning the room after our stay. Two to three dollars per night is an appropriate amount, depending on the cost of the room.\
坐车要有礼貌,不讲话,不胡乱粘东西“When we ride on a bus, we will always sit facing forward. We will never turn around to talk to other students, stick anything out of the windows, or get out of our seats. When we exit the bus, we will always thank the bus driver and tell him to have a good day.”
33、认识新朋友,要记住对方的名字;
Rule 33 \we go on field trips, we will meet different people. When I introduce you to people, make sure that you remember their names. Then, when we are leaving, make sure to shake their hands and thank them, mentioning their names as you do so.\
克拉克先生有意训练孩子们这项技能,立下了一些有助于记住人家名字的规矩:介绍后要起立握手,并称呼人家的名字问好;交谈中尽量多重复人家的名字;分手时要再次重复他们的名字。
34.吃东西,只取够自己的份,不能抢占别人的
Rule 34 \more than your fair share. You never want to be greedy and try to get more than you should, not only because it is wasteful, but also because it is disrespectful to others when you do not leave enough for them.\
35、别人掉东西,请弯腰去帮他捡;
Rule 35 \hand it back to them. Even if they are closer to the object, it is only polite to make the gesture of bending down to retrieve the item.\
36、进门时,如果后面有人,扶住门请别人先走;
Ruel 36 “If you approach a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through it first, then you can walk through. If the door opens by pushing, hold the door open after you push through.\
如果开门的时候需要拉的话,你就拉开门,自己站在一边,让别人先过去,然后你再走过去;如果开门的时候需要推门,你就在自己走过去后用手扶住门,别松手。
克拉克老师认为,教孩子一些小小的善意举止虽然看起来微不足道,但对孩子们了解如何尊重和重视别人大有裨益。克拉克老师教孩子的时候非常注意细节,如扶门时站的位置、扶多长时间、说点什么等等更加细节的东西。
37、别人碰到你,不管有没有错,都要说声对不起;
Rule 37 Whennever somebody else bumps into you,you should say sorry though sometimes it seems you are not affended though. In this way , you can show your absolutely good quality.
克拉克老师说:在学校里,一次轻微的碰撞,也能导致第三次世界大战的爆发。现在的孩子谁让着谁啊?有些大人都会因为这些而争吵。克拉克先生的这条规则,不但很好地阻止了事态向不良方向发展,而且使孩子们显得彬彬有礼。
克拉克老师对礼貌是非常重视的,在孩子乘坐飞机之前,他亲自在教室里把椅子摆成飞机过道的样子,训练孩子们。
38、进行校外教学时,无论到哪一个公共场所,都要安安静静;
Rule 38 keeping very quiet when taking a class outside of the classroom or in a public place
“有时候,人们做了什么好事不一定都能给他人留下印象,尤其是他做这件好事的时候其实周围根本没人,他做好事是出自本心,而不是给别人看,这就更值得你敬重了。”
对孩子的细节教育,学校的老师做了很多,但仍有很多细节是难以顾及的,我们家长应该在生活中言传身教,尽可能多地把握教育孩子的机会。
39、去参观别人的地方,要不吝于赞美;
Rule 39 \we are on a field trip, it is a good idea to compliment something about the place where you are visiting. For example, if we visit someone's home, it would be a nice gesture to tell them that you think they have nice curtains. People are always self-conscious when they have guests visit their home, so you want to make them feel at ease. Also, if we are visiting other places, such as a museum or theater, it would be nice to comment on how beautiful the architecture is or to tell the guide that you think the facility is very nice.\
这看似是一种对主人的尊重,如果形成习惯,也可能形成一种乐观的生活态度吧?克拉克老师认为孩子们应该有这样的风度,所以在外出前专门对孩子们进行这方面的训练,这是把握课外机会对孩子的培养。从克拉克老师的年龄和经历来看,如果不教学生,他自己也很难如此“绅士”吧?
40、全校师生开会的时候,不要讲话;
Rule 40 “During an assembly, do not speak and DO NOT look around and try to get the attention of your friends in other classes. We must uphold an image that shows we have out act together!”
我们的老师们也很重视纪律的,经常强调。有趣的是,为了让学生知道怎样保持纪律,可拉克老师把学生们叫到礼堂里,坐好,手放在大腿上,眼睛看着前面。然后,克拉克先生不断地在礼堂的各个位置出现,喊学生的名字,扔小纸团,想办法骚扰孩子们,看哪个孩子破坏纪律。生动有趣,用心良苦。
41、接电话的言谈要得体;
Rule 41 “When you answer the phone at your house, you must do so in an appropriate manner.”
在这一节里,克拉克先生讲了接电话时的常规语言,很简单,很得体。说实话,这些简单的东西,我做的都不好。但是,看了之后,我知道以后我一定能做到,而且,这么简单的东西,教给孩子,孩子掌握起来应该也很容易。虽然是小节,但孩子真的象书中的那样打电话的话,任何一个大人看了都会很惊讶,太有教养了!!!
42、一趟校外教学结束,要谢谢所有随行的老师和家长;
