今天女兒給我寫的信，我和她爸爸給女兒的回複。

今天女兒的語文課有個minor grade，類似於quiz。結果班上都考得不好。我女兒也隻得了60分。

然後語文老師說：“凡是得分低於70的，自己寫信給家長，然後CC我。”然後聽到教室裏一片鬼哭狼嚎，很多亞裔孩子知道要通知家長，都嚇傻了。然後語文老師又對女兒說：“你一定要通知到你媽媽。 言下之意，你有個亞裔虎媽。她會fix your grade。

這是女兒寫給我和她爹的信：

Dear Parents, 

 

In Mr.B's class， I have gotten a 60 on one of my assignments. The main reason I got a 60 is because I have lacked doing work on the assignment. Before I was with a 91 in the grade book. Now I'm having a 90 in the grade book. I have worked on it at home but with my swim, homework from other classes, and my parents. It's hard to catch up. I do get class time to work on it, but as Mr.B states "Y'all dilly dally"  which I do, I haven't done a lot of work on the assignment. I promise to start working and quit talking to all my classmates. 

 

 

這是我寫給女兒的信，當時是手機發的。也不知道這個回複她老師也能看到。

 

You have plenty of time to finish the assignment. Just stop talking to your friends on a daily basis. Finish your assignments first and then have your phone calls. It is all about the time management. Remember your leisure time on the phone is the first thing to go if you cannot find time to do your assignments.

 

 

 

這是他爹的回複:

 

Thank you for your note explaining the low score you have received in class.  It is important to get ahead of bad news and communicate as soon as possible.  Facing adversity directly and timely takes courage and self-discipline.

 

As you know your Mother and I value education, and we expect you to endeavour to learn with focus and tenacity.  Learning is not scoring high or getting a good grade, learning is understanding the topic and material at a deep level.  Grades typically take care of themselves once you focus on learning and obtaining a deep understanding of the subject.

 

Your Mother and I have great faith in you and know you can achieve great things if you can obtain the self-discipline required.  Keep at it and I know soon there will be an email to celebrate a high score.

 

感覺LD的思想政治工作做得不錯啊,比我強多了.
