May 21, 2014 by Warner Todd Huston
A middle school in Rhode Island had canceled its night meant to honor
students who achieved excellent grades because officials felt that the
annual honors ceremony would hurt the self esteem of those more stupid kids
who didn’t get top grades.
Parents whose children attend the Archie R. Cole Middle School in East
Greenwhich, RI, were sent an email this week telling them that the annual

This is very misleading. A liberal art college usually doesn't have a
professional school (B-school, engineering school, Medical school, Law
school et al), but it doesn't mean they are different from any research or
teaching schools. In deep of higher education, liberal art education is the
essential part.
There is no absolute difference between research school and teaching school
either, and if there is any, it just means whether it is more of teaching-
oriented or research-oriented. |

发帖数: 2071 | 4 女儿4岁半，今年秋天可以去public school上Kindergarten了。目前在纠结是继续留在
现在的Montessori还是去public school. 想法如下，跟大家唐一下。大家经验多，给
点建议吧。或者看看我自己的叙述是不是我已经有了倾向。。。先谢过了。
1. 按Montessori那边的说法，public school's Kindergarten学的东西太浅了。
我女儿在现在的Montessori上了两年的pre-school, 上学期因为她进度很快，pre-
school的东西她全都学完了，所以已经在K班上了。
我女儿并不是神童什么的，只不过会磕磕绊绊地念故事书，还有数着东西做加减法而已
。蒙校老师说public school的K班里面才开始认识数字和字母，实在太浅了，我女儿
会"fall back to the beginning". 但是我就想，迟早要去public school的，
那这个fall back不是无法避免么。这个蒙校最多只到一年级。蒙校的Director说公

我猜你是想问欧洲里面的一些学校的称呼（Faculty of Medicine)和美国的(School of
Medicine)的差别，而不是真的想知道这School和Faculty两个词的英文意思差别吧？
这个是不同国家以及不同学校的习惯称谓不同而已。某些欧洲大学由于历史传统的原因
，school 以及hospital在最早的时候其实是指由修道院管理的实体机构，而Faculty则
是指由教员们组成的人员单位，和School 之间本质上是互相独立的，大致上就是
faculty租赁school/hospital 地盘的关系。如果faculty和school闹起来了，原则上是
可以全体直接换另外一个地盘办学的。
美国这里没有这种历史，所以只有School of Medicine之类的说法，而没有 Faculty
of Medicine的说法（虽然这个称呼在特指所有医学院教工的时候也会出现）。 |
