女儿的STAR CARD已经攒了够10张了，她可以用这10张卡片换得一枝铅笔。一美金可以买好几枝铅笔，但这样换得的意义就非同一般了。

这是女儿的STAR CARD，我很喜欢它上面的获得理由：责任、诚实、尊重、爱心。我发现在美国的小学教育中“责任感”占了很重的分量，老师和家长都很看重孩子责任感的培养。

由此想到了在我看过女儿带回家的美国的小学生守则后，联想到在上学时曾经被我背得滚瓜烂熟的我们国内的小学生守则，有很多的感想，本想对照尝试翻译，将中美的小学生守则做一下比较，但在网络上找到了现成的版本，现转帖过来，希望能给大家一些启示，同时也呼吁我们国内的教育专家在制定这样的行为规范时能够真正站在孩子的立场考虑。

美国小学生守则：

        1. Always refer to a teacher by title and last name.

　　2. Get to class on time or a little earlier.

　　3. Raise your hand when you want to ask a question.

　　4. You may speak to the teacher from your desk while you are seated.

　　5. When you are absent, you must make up the work you have missed. Ask either the teacher or a classmate for the work.

　　6. If you expect to be away from school because of an emergency, tell your teacher in advance and ask for the work you will miss.

　　7. All assignments you hand in must be your own work.

　　8. Never cheat on a test.

　　9. If you are having difficulty with a class, schedule an appointment to see the teacher for help. The teacher will be glad to help you.

        10.Students must bring a note for a parent explaining any absence or tardiness.

　　11.The only acceptable excuse for absence is personal illness, a death in the family, or a religious holiday. It is illegal to stay home from school for any other.

　　12.When a teacher asks a question and does not name a particular student to answer it, anyone who knows the answer should raise one hand.

     中美两国的小学都有小学生守则，但两国教育的指导理念、纪律观和规章制度却各自不同。现转抄出他们各自的守则，通过对比，可以看到中美两国的文化差异以及教育理念对孩子产生的影响。

　　美国小学生守则：

    1.总是称呼老师职位或尊姓。

    2.按时或稍提前到课堂。

    3.提问时举手。

    4.可以在你的座位上与老师讲话。

　　5.缺席时必须补上所缺课业。向老师或同学请教。

　　6.如果因紧急事情离开学校，事先告诉你的老师并索取耽误的功课。

　　7.所有作业必须是你自己完成的。

    8.考试不许作弊。
