Sometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government&39; s efforts to improve schools:new standards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and job losses. They frighten the school employees, not to mention the students. Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on school reform. strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach. In their study on the reform. efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.
Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one&39;s mind,to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn&39; t working,to make collective decisions.
Yet this kind of safety doesn&39; t come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity (正直). The challeage is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.A.

The main activity of debate is presenting one&39; s opinion and suppmting it with evidence,such as statistics or facts. It is a way of persuasive communication.
Charles Lebeau helped create the "Discover Debate" method. He says debate is important to understanding how people communicate in Western business. Successful debaters learn how to give their opinkm,reasans and support. "What we are trying to do is to develop a kind of thinking or approach to discussion and how to interact (交流) with someone else&39; s opinion, rather than brush their opinion aside. "
Debate skills are also important in selling a product, he says. In that situation, the judges are the customem. "So on Monday, for example, one company may come in and present their case to the customer and they" ll make as strong a ease as they can. On Tuesday, the next day, another company will come in and present their ease to the customer. Usually the party that can present the strongest case wins” Debate also strengthens critical thinking. In other words, it helps students learn to ask questionsand try to understand someone&39; s reasons and evidence.lift-.
Lebeau points out that successful debaters learn to listen carefully to what other people are saying. Then, they look for the weak points in someone else&39; s opinion or argument. He says debate teaches a systematic way of questioning.
Successful debaters also learn to think from someone else&39; s point of view. Mr. Lebeau says debate can help broaden the mind. "There&39; s an expression in English : don&39; t criticize another person before you have walked in their shoes. I think the wonderful thing about debate is, it puts us in another person&39; s shoes. "
