什么是素质教育? 2015-7-19

昨天的一件小亊让我对美国素质教育的结晶感到大为震憾。

乘女儿上大学前最后一个暑假,带她回中国寻根、了解中国文化。昨天登成都的青城山。一路搭车,乘船、坐索道,偷懒走捷径,下山后还是汗流夹背、腰酸腿乏。
原来打算打的去都江堰,正好有公交101巴士到,才2元一人,女儿提议乘巴士。车到后前上后下,一群老年人一拥而上,结果挤 得动弹不得,吵闹起来。乘客下完,有人开始从后门上车,我们恰好站旁边,于是我抬脚登车,顺手把女儿也拉上车,找个后排座位坐下来。摸出零钱准备付费,发 现人多起来,走不到车前。正犹豫寻思该怎么办,转头发现原坐身后的女儿站在那里,让一位老太太坐,一脸怒气。心想是不是老太太不礼貌?一问她是对我们走后 门生闷气。她妈妈赶紧解释,前门堵,我们不想逃票,等会儿人少点就会去付费。女儿坚持走后门行为本身就不对,既违规,又让人感觉想逃票,Cheap!我说 做人要灵活便通一点,在这里就按这里行为方式。谁都不认识你,干嘛在乎别人怎么想,你又不cheap。这一说,祸更大了,她眼泪在眼眶里打转。她说:我的 行为不是为别人,而是遵循我的道德准则,而信仰的是不可便通的!I behave following my moral codes. I cannot change what I believe in. 我哑口无言,怔了一会儿,向她道歉,一再保证下不违例。
走到前面付费回来,她问我要包里的外套穿。我很纳闷:夏天30多摄氏度,公交车里大家挤得汗流浃背,还要穿外套,傻啊?她说:我穿着印着斯坦福大学的T恤。我今天原来以斯坦福大学新生而自豪,可现在让自己蒙羞,但不能让斯坦福大学蒙羞。
什么是真正的素质教育,什么是真正的精英荣誉?美国学校做到了。我现在明白了,我为什么在美国数十年也不是美国"精英",我女儿才是斯坦福大学要的未来精英。
我坐着,她站着,我仰望着她,肃然。2015年7月18日,我会记得这个和女儿一起的平凡的日子。
