看看美國對中學生的評語：讓人受不了（圖）

女兒中學要畢業了，老師給她寫了一份特殊的評語，在頒獎會上宣讀。美國人讚揚人的話有時覺得讓人受不了。不過對小孩來講，因該是：讚揚讓人進步，批評讓人自卑。我們華人應該多學學怎樣讚揚人，尤其是小孩的每一點進步。以下是女兒獲得中學“年度藝術家”稱號的評語：

“年度最佳藝術家

本校有很多天才的年輕藝術家，能在他們之中脫穎而出成為“年度藝術家”，充分說明這是一位非常傑出的個人。這位藝術家不但在他 ( 她 ) 的作品中表現出優秀的技能和技巧，而且展示出先進和獨特的有創造性自我表達方法：這些是一個終身藝術家的標誌。

在過去近兩年裏，我有幸目睹了我們年度藝術家的許多創造性事例，當她作為一個七年級的學生剛剛參加藝術俱樂部時，就設計製作了一幅讓人歎為觀止的俱樂部海報。從此，她在設計，插圖，素描，繪畫，和計算機美術上的特殊能力讓我們不斷稱奇。在本地區 Scholastics 美術比賽中，她獲得了銀鑰匙獎；在本縣“書頁中的藝術”公共藝術雕塑倡議活動中，她被選定設計和裝飾一尊書型雕塑；在本校的才藝表演中，她表演了高超的快速繪圖技能。但是，最重要的是，她得到了同學和老師們廣泛的認同，她是一位讓人難以置信和稱奇的藝術家。

我很高興地宣布 ASD 為我校年度藝術家。”

Artist of the Year

There are so many gifted young artists at our school that selecting an “Artist of the year” truly says something extraordinary about this individual. Such an artist exhibits outstanding skills and craftsmanship in his/her work as well as demonstrates advanced and unique paths of creative self expression: these are the marks of a lifelong artist.

I’ve had a good fortune to have witnessed the creative deeds of our artist-of-the-year for nearly two years since she first can to art club as a seventh grader and produced a knock out design for an art club poster. She has continued to amaze us with her exceptional abilities in design, illustration, drawing, painting, and computer graphics. She earned a silver key award in the regional Scholastics fine arts competition, and she was selected to design and decorate a book sculpture for our county “art in the pages” public art sculpture initiative. She displayed wicked fast skill in her speed drawing event at the school’s talent show. Most of all, though, she is widely recognized by her peers and by staff as an incredible and amazing artist.

It is my pleasure to present ASD as our artist of the year.
