#三年級自學紀錄
.
去年底遇到了一些小問題😔,
跟朋友聊天之後,觀察了小布的一些現象;
美國線的英文老師說不知道怎麼教小布,因為她懂的東西太多了;
歐洲線的英文老師說她會是一個學者;
VT法文高中初級的老師要我們把課程退掉;
......
.
自從去年被法文老師退課之後(年齡太小),心裡總是覺得委屈,雖然老師說得沒錯,年齡不同,教課的方式也就不同,但還是會覺得小布不是聽不懂啊,只單純因為年齡的差距😔。
.
小布學習過程的小小不順利,接二連三的來,到最後真的有點氣餒了,想說就這樣下去好了,其它的就便看。
.
這時候,看到CTY(Center for Talented Youth) 的廣告,其實它出現在我FB很久了,只是我一直沒點開來看,一是覺得是噱頭(打著霍普金斯大學的名號,結果扯不到任何毛邊),二是覺得小布不是天才人,所以這種機構不是我們會去的地方。
.
但某天在氣餒的情況下,把它點開了...
.
CTY在中國是一個很紅的夏令營,紅了很多年,因為培育了很多有名的人才,還有特別為CTY開辦的補習班,就是為了考進去,臺灣少數人知道,網站上學校的list裡,臺灣只有康橋國際學校、台北歐洲學校、台北美國學校這三所學校。
.
接下來一連串的去做功課,發現美國對於天才的定義是廣的,不是單純的智力測驗成績、奧數/科展得名才是所謂的天才,媽媽決定更近一步的去了解,發現機構的教育理念,跟我相似,於是報名了他們的線上說明會,然後小布就去考試,然後就考過了👏。
.
現在回想起來,前陣子的不順利,其實有好多好多的sign,一步一步的都在指引我們往某條路前進。
.
「上帝關了一扇窗,必會再開啟另一扇窗」,媽媽不是基督徒,但每次遇到困難時,我都會想起這句話。
.
下篇再來介紹一下所謂的美國「天才夏令營」。

center for talented youth 在 Kimberly的熱血人生 Facebook 的精選貼文
我們家非常熱愛戶外活動,兩個小孩從小也被訓練,不怕曬不怕辛苦耐操耐勞,每年暑假都會帶著他們到各地旅行拓展視野,也會讓他們參加國內外各種不同主題的夏令營,孩子的適應力是很有彈性的,雖然一開始新環境會哭哭啼啼,但很快就能自得其樂融入環境,總覺得亞洲父母容易對孩子保護過當,反而壓抑了他們去拓展自己開闊心胸和眼界的機會,所以我和先生在教養上都很有共識,讀書未來有很長的時間,趁他們小盡可能地讓他們體驗不同生活、嘗試不同的事,尤其13歲女兒,還記得五歲帶她去體驗海外夏令營,第一天淚眼汪汪難捨難離,但很快就交到朋友展露笑顏,隨著每年累積下來的經驗,小小年紀的她變得很大方且獨立,也很有想法,去年更是自己準備跳兩級的國際考試申請到美國Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth暑期學校,自己去美國住校了三個星期,原本今年也是要赴美參加暑期學校因為疫情作罷,她還是很享受留在台灣參加野外夏令營的機會,每個孩子都不同,依照他們的個性因材施教,才能幫助他們建立開闊思維,孩子的童年只有一次,在這個年紀盡情去體驗,別讓它留白!

It was last night's best bet on Broadway -- Allen Iverson of Georgetown against Stephon Marbury of Georgia Tech. The scene was Madison Square Garden. The occasion was a semifinal game in the 11th annual Preseason National Invitation Tournament.
The war between the precocious college basketball stars was more or less a draw. Iverson had the better numbers, but he also had a better team behind him. A noisy and appreciative crowd of 15,249 watched Iverson and Georgetown pull away in the second half to a 94-72 victory. That was no surprise because the Hoyas are ranked fifth and Georgia Tech 25th in the latest Associated Press poll.
The triumph sent Georgetown into tomorrow night's final against Arizona. In the first game of the semifinal doubleheader, Arizona held off Michigan, 86-79.
With little more than three minutes left in the game, Georgetown got a scare when Iverson jammed his left thumb. He left and did not return, but later, in the locker room, Iverson said the thumb was fine and he would be ready for the final. Still, as a precaution, he was taken to a hospital for X-rays.
Iverson shot 9 for 16 from the floor, 1 for 6 from the 3-point line. He finished with 23 points, 6 assists and 2 steals. Marbury (4 for 14, 0 for 4 on 3-pointers) ended with 13 points, 8 assists and 7 steals.
Before they are nominated for the Hall of Fame, it should be pointed out that Iverson made eight turnovers and Marbury six. But as point guards, they handle the ball more than others, and it also should be remembered that Iverson is a 19-year-old sophomore, Marbury an 18-year-old freshman.
Here are their assessments of the game:
Iverson on Iverson: "I think I played all right. But I made a lot of mistakes."
Iverson on Marbury: "He's a great player, but he's a freshman. He's got a lot to learn, just as I've got a lot to learn. He'll get better."
Marbury on Marbury: "I think I did a pretty good job. But I don't think I'm playing my normal game. I'm not shooting well."
Marbury on Iverson: "You can only try to contain him. He'll get his points, regardless."
Marbury was the more spectacular player. The Coney Island youngster played with the peripheral vision and magic of a Magic Johnson or Isiah Thomas. Once, on the run, he bounced a perfect long pass to a teammate sandwiched between two defenders. Several times, he drove to the basket and jumped and, when a defender would double-team him, he dished off the ball to an open teammate.
But Marbury did not have the help that Iverson did. Victor Page, Georgetown's freshman shooting guard, was the high scorer with 25 points. Othella Harrington, the 6-foot-9-inch senior center, was held to 2 points in the first half but finished with 14 points and 14 rebounds. Georgetown's bang-the-boards defense outrebounded Georgia Tech, 45 to 24.
John Thompson, in his 24th year as Georgetown coach, likes his team. "They've got a lot to learn," he said, "but it's a team I can drive. You don't drive people who aren't talented."
Georgia Tech Coach Bobby Cremins said he knew why his team was beaten badly.
"I think it was too much, too soon," he said. "We were not ready for that type of game. We're young, we hung in there, but it's tough on a young team."
The first semifinal matched Arizona's speed, defense and experience against Michigan's youth and bulk. Arizona broke open a tie game in the last 13 minutes.
The Wildcats, ranked No. 19, made fewer errors than 16th-ranked Michigan. Much of the time, it kept the ball from Michigan's post players and forced the Wolverines into bad shots from the outside. When Michigan closed to 79-77, Arizona tried to freeze the ball, Michigan double-teamed it and Joseph Blair, the Arizona center, got loose under the basket and sank the game-clinching field goal and free throw.
"Their post players beat us to death," Michigan Coach Steve Fisher said. "It seems like every shot they made in the second half was a result of our defense. But eight of our players are freshmen and sophomores, and you know it's going to happen some. I'm mad. I told our team they should be mad we didn't play better. You can't be afraid to make mistakes. Maybe I made them afraid to make mistakes."
Coach Lute Olson was pleased with the way his Arizona team played.
"The difference down the stretch," he said, "was probably that we had a lot more experience. But the only way to get experience is playing. You have to go through it with game pressure."
Reggie Geary, Arizona's point guard, scored only 8 points but also had 7 assists and 2 steals. Once, trying to keep a ball inbounds, he crashed into the press table and knocked over a telephone. He picked up the phone and put the receiver to his ear. It worked. He nodded and went back to business.
