名呐！
来自美国顶尖高中的韩裔数学天才少女传出同时获得哈佛大学和史丹佛大学录取，不仅
在南韩国内引发轰动，还受到国际关注，然而，这只是这名女学生一手捏造的假消息。
这名少女宣称接到脸书（Facebook）创办人暨执行长祖克柏（Mark Zuckerberg）的电
话，鼓励她就读哈佛大学，就连哈佛教授也写信给她，希望她放弃史丹佛大学，选择哈
佛。 当她还在考虑要接受哪1所学校的5位数奖学金时，两所学校竟同意让她各
读两年。她的故事跃上南韩媒体，甚至获得「天才少女」的封号。
然而，这一切都是这名少女一手捏造的故事。
「华盛顿邮报」（Washington Post）报导，这场吹牛骗局让她就读的汤玛斯杰佛森科
技高中（Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology）大感震惊。
这名女高中生捏造录取神话，目的是为了让父母、同侪和师长惊艷，每年都有许多学生
为挤进顶尖大学窄门奋力拼搏。
这个伪造的录取故事超出一般青少年幻想层面，事情不仅吸引国际媒体关注，她的父母
也公开向韩国社会坦承一切都是捏造的故事。
这所高中有许多毕业生成绩都相当出色，包括最近有1名高3生拿到4.57的GPA，在13个
大学先修课程考试取得优秀成绩，并获得8所常春藤盟校的录取通知，甚至在18岁生日
前创办1个全国性非营利组织。
究竟是什么原因导致这名女学生要精心编造这场骗局。对老师及学生而言，答案显然是
父母给予铺天盖地的压力，以及青少年对自己不切实际的期望。
1名学生说，「除了课业压力，还需擅长17种不同的运动与乐器」。

Clearly she, or someone she persuaded or paid to help her, committed forgery
of two admissions letters and one e-mail. This a sad and pathetic story.
And while I don't want to be guilty of painting with broad brush, I will
risk this comment: I live in an area with a burgeoning Asian population. The
change in the ethnic composition of our community has produced an
atmosphere of extreme and sometimes damaging academic competition in our
PUBLIC schools. Just yesterday D and I were at a local bank to open an
account for her. The woman (Middle Eastern origin) saw D's student ID and
started questioning us about the environment in the district. It turns out
just that week the woman's little first grader had come home from one of the
town's elementary schools, crying inconsolably. It seems that 17 kids in
her class were selected for advanced math, but her daughter was not one of
them. The poor little thing had thought she was good at math because she got
100's and smiley's on all her papers. But that means absolutely nothing
when her peers are in tutoring and have already advanced many grade levels
beyond her. The result is that a first grader has now decided she is not
good in math. Wow.
I don't know what the solution is, since we don't want to academically
stifle bright kids. However, how much time should ordinary first graders be
spending in math tutoring rather than playing outside with friends or
drawing or reading or sleeping? The issue is no longer one of challenging
the bright, it's hammering kids of all ability levels and interests into one
mold of excellence in math and science. | u*****a
发帖数: 6276 | 5 Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) has offered admission to 493 students
for the Class of 2019 at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and
Technology (TJHSST).
A total of 2,841 students applied for admission. Approximately seventy-eight
(77.7) percent of the students offered admission reside in Fairfax County
and twenty-two (22.3) percent are from Arlington, Loudoun, and Prince
William Counties and the City of Falls Church. Approximately ninety-three (
92.9) percent of students offered admission are currently attending public
schools.
Asian students took the most spots — 346 (70%) — while whites were second
with 102 (20%) and multiracial third with 25 (5%).
The selection process for admittance to TJHSST involves a holistic review of
each candidate’s semifinalist-applicant’s essay, teacher recommendations,
and student-authored information sheet, as well as consideration of grades
and test scores on the admissions examination. As always, a summer round of
admissions for eighth graders newly moved to a participating district after
September 30 of the previous year will add to the 493 offers at the end of
June.
Established in 1985, TJHSST is a governor’s school offering a comprehensive
college preparatory program emphasizing the sciences, mathematics, and
technology. Specialized technical laboratories, including a technological
computational center, enhance the academic curriculum and provide students
with experience in state-of-the-art technology, opportunities for
independent research and experimentation, and interaction with professionals
from the scientific, technological, engineering, and industrial communities.

From a Korean paper (English edition):
http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2015/06/12/2015061
"Since then more claims have surfaced on the Internet that Sara ... is a
serial fabricator. A post on notoriously vociferous social media site Reddit
on Thursday accused Sara, a student at Thomas Jefferson High School for
Science and Technology in Virginia, of falsely claiming last year to have
won a nationwide math contest. "
"Her claim to have scored a perfect GPA of 4.6 at Thomas Jefferson High
School also turned out to be false. One parent at the school said, "The
valedictorian was an Indian student whose GPA was 4.57."
Sara then claimed that she scored a perfect 2,400 points on her SAT exam,
another lie. The parent said, "At present, the only thing that is true is
that she does go to Thomas Jefferson High School." The parent added that the
general perception is that Sara suffers from mythomania."
"In a press release later on Friday morning, Sara's father, an executive at
global online gaming company Nexon, apologized for causing a stir with the
fabrication. "I'm responsible for all the mistakes and sorry not to have
taken better care of this poor kid," he said. He promised to look after her
better since she apparently suffered from extreme stress due to academic
pressures. He allegedly had no idea that the story was false."
****
I feel badly that a kid could feel so much pressure to be "the best" or "
extra-special" that she would forge emails/letters and make up phone calls
and even, according to the article above, attend an accepted freshman day at
Harvard in April (when apparently she was not accepted) just so she could
put the photos on FB? | u*****a

发帖数: 6276 | 8 这孩子太可怜了。希望她能被治愈。据说，她十年级时，在全美女子数学竞赛上排同龄
第四。
上面那个放声大哭的一年级小朋友也可怜，这么小就被十七个同班同学超过。这些所谓
早慧的孩子，尤其是其家长，在不能输在起跑线的宗旨下，不小心地、但极有可能扼杀
了更多同龄、正常儿童的求知欲和上进心。难免这十七个孩子一路拼杀出去，十年后又
出一个 Sara !
做为家长，我们应该想想：是“出色”的学习成绩重要，还是孩子健康成长重要？是在
TUTOR 或题海战术下成绩显赫重要，还是“正常”的跌跟头然后自己领悟重要？
是一个天才的赞美声重要，还是诚实、有趣重要？
归根结底，孩子是他们自己的，也是社会的。父母应该只是帮助他们实现他们的梦想，
而不是实现父母的梦想。看着办吧。 | m********s
发帖数: 55301 | 9 楼主如果真要分析：
是“出色”的学习成绩重要，还是孩子健康成长重要？是在TUTOR 或题海战术下成绩显
赫重要，还是“正常”的跌跟头然后自己领悟重要？
的话。
显然，第一，健康成长是不可控的，黑人、劳模有哪个不希望自己娃娃健康成长的吗？
可有多大比例是健康成长的呢？
而出色的学习成绩是可控的，至少是通过勤奋可以达到的。
第二，说到跌跟头，哪个家长知道下一个跟头对自己娃娃是正常的还是不正常的？但做
多难的题确实是家长自己能提前知道和制定的。
当没富爹富妈官爹官妈可拼时，对娃娃来说，学习成绩是比其他唱歌跳舞打球弹琴绘画
溜冰...更能保证娃娃成年后能过上相对比较富足生活。
当然，没工作也能领救济排低收入房也是一种快乐的生活，这是美国对比大陆的一个巨
大优势。
