merit based scholarship. 現在想想很有道理。否則學校就需要定一個標準。大學錄取如果有了明確的標準(比如分數線),該大學就死了。
不是 BSO, 家裏小孩常常被學校推薦得這個獎那個獎,我始終沒有搞明白是為什麽。我跟校長老師談過一兩次,也不得要領。
我從來沒有刻意跟老師校長套關係,送大禮。我覺得那樣是對人家的藐視(insult).
當然,我對老師讚美感謝還是有的, 比如:
收到女兒英文老師的email後我給老師的reply: >> > Dear Mrs xxx, >> > >> > I am ABC's dad and I am very glad to receive this email and I want to >> > say "thank you!". >> > >> > I am in my office in Shanghai right now.
