You see, we know what’s possible for our children when reform isn’t just a top-down mandate, but the work of local teachers and principals; school boards and communities.
你们应该知道,当改革不仅仅是从上到下的指示时,我们的孩子所能够取得的成绩有多大。改革措施将由当地的教师和校长、校董事会和社区来决定。
Take a school like Bruce Randolph in Denver. Three years ago, it was rated one of the worst schools in Colorado; located on turf between two rival gangs. But last May, 97% of the seniors received their diploma. Most will be the first in their family to go to college. And after the first year of the school’s transformation, the principal who made it possible wiped away tears when a student said “Thank you, Mrs. Waters, for showing… that we are smart and we can make it.”
以丹佛的布鲁斯·兰多夫学校为例,它在三年前被评为是科罗拉多州最差的学校之一,它位于两个敌对黑帮争夺的地盘内。但在去年五月,该校97%的高三学生获得了毕业证,大多数人将是他们家庭中上大学的第一人。在学校实现转变后的第一年,一位学生的话使这一切成为现实的校长流下了眼泪。这个学生说: “感谢你,威特斯女士,感谢你向我们表明,我们是聪明的,我们能够成功。”
Let’s also remember that after parents, the biggest impact on a child’s success comes from the man or woman at the front of the classroom. In South Korea, teachers are known as “nation builders.” Here in America, it’s time we treated the people who educate our children with the same level of respect. We want to reward good teachers and stop making excuses for bad ones. And over the next ten years, with so many Baby Boomers retiring from our classrooms, we want to prepare 100,000 new teachers in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math.
让我们也记住,除了父母之外,对一个孩子成功的最大影响来自于站在教室前的男女教师们。在韩国,教师们被称作“国家建造者”。在美国,现是我们该以同样程度的尊重对待那些教育我们孩子的人的时候了。我们应当奖励好教师,停止为糟糕的教师找借口。在未来十年,由于非常多的婴儿潮一代教师将退休,我们将需要准备10万名科学、技术、工程和数学学科教师。
In fact, to every young person listening tonight who’s contemplating their career choice: If you want to make a difference in the life of our nation; if you want to make a difference in the life of a child – become a teacher. Your country needs you.
事实上,对于今晚收听讲演的、正在考虑职业选择的年轻人,如果你想让我们国家前途有所不同,如果你想让一个孩子的生命有所不同,成为一位教师吧。你的国家需要你。
Of course, the education race doesn’t end with a high school diploma. To compete, higher education must be within reach of every American. That’s why we’ve ended the unwarranted taxpayer subsidies that went to banks, and used the savings to make college affordable for millions of students. And this year, I ask Congress to go further, and make permanent our tuition tax credit – worth $10,000 for four years of college.
当然,教育竞赛不会止步于高中毕业证。为了竞争,必须让每位美国人都有接受高等教育的机会。这就是我们为什么结束向银行提供没有充分根据的税款补贴,用节省下来的钱来使数百万学生能有能力上大学。我今年将请求国会采取进一步措施,使我们的学费税收抵免永久化,对一个人四年的大学来说,这笔钱相当于1万美元。
Because people need to be able to train for new jobs and careers in today’s fast-changing economy, we are also revitalizing America’s community colleges. Last month, I saw the promise of these schools at Forsyth Tech in North Carolina. Many of the students there used to work in the surrounding factories that have since left town. One mother of two, a woman named Kathy Proctor, had worked in the furniture industry since she was 18 years old. And she told me she’s earning her degree in biotechnology now, at 55 years old, not just because the furniture jobs are gone, but because she wants to inspire her children to pursue their dreams too. As Kathy said, “I hope it tells them to never give up.”
由于人们需要在今天快速变化的经济领域里接受新工作和职业的培训,我们也将重新使美国的社区学院恢复活力。我上个月看到了北卡罗来纳州福费斯社区技术学院的潜力,学院的许多学生曾在现在已搬离城镇的附近工厂就业。凯西·普罗克托是一位两个孩子的母亲,她18岁就开始在家具业工作。她告诉我,现年55岁的她正在攻读生物技术学位,不只是因为家具业的工作没有了,而是因为她想鼓励她的孩子也追求他们的梦想。凯西说:“我希望这将能教会他们永不放弃。”
