第一篇:觀奧巴馬開(kāi)學(xué)演講后感
觀奧巴馬開(kāi)學(xué)演講后感
在當(dāng)前經(jīng)濟(jì)低迷的情況下,奧巴馬向美國(guó)學(xué)生做演講以取得這些肩負(fù)未來(lái)的公民對(duì)其政府的支持。
拋開(kāi)政治方面的因素,在對(duì)象是中小學(xué)生的情況下,奧巴馬的語(yǔ)言通俗易懂,并且是以講故事的形式開(kāi)展敘述,語(yǔ)言詼諧,這樣有利于青少年接受。剛開(kāi)始時(shí),我以為奧巴馬一直會(huì)將這種幽默感持續(xù)到最后,但沒(méi)想到,話鋒一轉(zhuǎn),氛圍即刻變得“凝重”起來(lái),想必是因?yàn)榻逃且患O其嚴(yán)肅的事情,青少年在美國(guó)是十分自由的,唯有以這種方式能夠讓青少年們認(rèn)真起來(lái),而不是兒戲。
奧巴馬以自己的實(shí)例為藍(lán)本,這樣在當(dāng)時(shí)的情況下,更有利于他獲得民眾的的支持,很多選民都已為人父母,而父母最關(guān)心的則是自己的后代,奧巴馬對(duì)青少年們進(jìn)行開(kāi)導(dǎo),間接能夠獲得選民們的支持,而最終受益的則是奧巴馬本人,當(dāng)然,這也與社會(huì)學(xué)風(fēng)有關(guān)。
而總統(tǒng)演講與教師演講最大的區(qū)別在于地位以及與學(xué)生的熟悉程度,對(duì)于青少年,地位高的人讓人有高山仰止的感覺(jué),而陌生人的話不會(huì)讓他們有很強(qiáng)的叛逆心理,而在演講中,奧巴馬亦講述了自己小時(shí)候的習(xí)慣以及學(xué)習(xí)用功的場(chǎng)景,總統(tǒng)這個(gè)地位能夠讓青少年們把他小時(shí)候的行為習(xí)慣當(dāng)成是一種成功的必然條件,爭(zhēng)相學(xué)習(xí),這對(duì)于促進(jìn)學(xué)習(xí),是十分有利的。
如果說(shuō)美國(guó)的教育是自由,面對(duì)青少年,讓他們學(xué)習(xí)的方式是循循善誘,那么我們國(guó)家的應(yīng)試教育,則是苦板且冰冷,老師及家長(zhǎng)的教育就是強(qiáng)灌硬輸,這估計(jì)也就是為什么中國(guó)因?qū)W習(xí)壓力大而選擇放棄生命的原因了。
當(dāng)我在百度上打上“中國(guó)因?qū)W業(yè)壓力大而跳樓學(xué)生”,相關(guān)帖子竟然有1670000之多,這都是一個(gè)個(gè)鮮活的生命,有大學(xué)生,有小學(xué)生,有僥幸存活的,有不幸失去生命的,而搜“美國(guó)因?qū)W業(yè)壓力大而跳樓學(xué)生”,卻沒(méi)有一個(gè)相關(guān)的。這對(duì)于一個(gè)擁有5000年文明的古老東方國(guó)度來(lái)說(shuō),是不是有點(diǎn)過(guò)于殘忍了?中國(guó)自古有儒家文化等,流芳百世,教育之發(fā)達(dá),舉世矚目,歷代文人騷客,層出不窮。如今卻在基層教育上連一個(gè)300年歷史都不到的國(guó)家都比不上,這不是一個(gè)很諷刺的話題么?
有人說(shuō),中國(guó)的基礎(chǔ)教育是“學(xué)多悟少”,美國(guó)的基礎(chǔ)教育是“學(xué)少悟多”。
我覺(jué)得,從這兩個(gè)觀點(diǎn)就能很明顯的看出美國(guó)人更適合生存。不僅是我,我相信中國(guó)很多學(xué)生都會(huì)問(wèn)過(guò)這樣的問(wèn)題:學(xué)習(xí)到底有什么用?有些人將來(lái)的職業(yè)可能與弧線計(jì)算(數(shù)學(xué)),古詩(shī)背誦(語(yǔ)文),自由落體(物理)都毫無(wú)關(guān)系這些知識(shí),如果長(zhǎng)久不用,終將遺忘,那么我們現(xiàn)在的學(xué)習(xí)究竟有何用處?這時(shí)候,家長(zhǎng)或是老師或許會(huì)說(shuō):這是為了掌握學(xué)習(xí)的方法和技巧。既然是為了“悟”,那么那些學(xué)習(xí)壓力過(guò)大的時(shí)間又是怎么回事?悟,在我看來(lái),最好的方式就是自學(xué),自學(xué)能夠加深印象,而不是死做題。在校學(xué)習(xí)一是為了陶冶情操,在基礎(chǔ)學(xué)習(xí)時(shí),掌握“入門”的方式,二是為了體驗(yàn)“悟”的過(guò)程。而中國(guó)的教育卻是注重對(duì)知識(shí)的積累和灌輸!注重培養(yǎng)學(xué)生對(duì)知識(shí)和權(quán)威的尊重!注重對(duì)知識(shí)的掌握和繼承!而不是注重培養(yǎng)學(xué)生運(yùn)用知識(shí)的實(shí)際能力,注重培養(yǎng)學(xué)生對(duì)知識(shí)和權(quán)威的質(zhì)疑、批判精神,注重對(duì)知識(shí)的拓展和創(chuàng)造。這一“靜”,一“動(dòng)”之間,也許就決定了,中國(guó)學(xué)生的“木訥”,與美國(guó)學(xué)生的“聰慧”,亦決定了中國(guó)與美國(guó)的道路。
現(xiàn)在美國(guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人都站出來(lái)提出基層教育的問(wèn)題,還是對(duì)當(dāng)事者說(shuō)明的,而我們國(guó)家,自鄧小平提出恢復(fù)高考之后就鮮有人站出來(lái)對(duì)人民說(shuō)過(guò)話,有的也只是教育局下發(fā)通知,然后傳到校領(lǐng)導(dǎo),再是教師,再是學(xué)生,經(jīng)歷了3次傳達(dá)。這似乎說(shuō)明了中國(guó)的教育制度在將來(lái)很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間內(nèi)不會(huì)改變?!耙豢级ńK生”的現(xiàn)象仍會(huì)持續(xù)下去。教育的地域差異亦會(huì)存在下去。
再來(lái)說(shuō)說(shuō)中國(guó)學(xué)生與美國(guó)學(xué)生的區(qū)別。
在一次時(shí)代周刊雜志記者采訪李開(kāi)復(fù)是提問(wèn)中國(guó)學(xué)生時(shí),李開(kāi)復(fù):他們(中國(guó)學(xué)生)給我的感覺(jué)可以說(shuō)迷茫到了不知道如何提問(wèn),消極到了非要?jiǎng)e人幫他解決問(wèn)題的程度。這讓我感到不可思議。在美國(guó),只有你自己最了解你自己,只有你知道你最想得到什么,只有你自己知道你最在乎什么,別人怎么會(huì)比你更了解你自己呢?
在現(xiàn)行的教育體制下,學(xué)生們事事聽(tīng)從父母和老師的安排,遇到問(wèn)題可以直接從父母和老師那里獲得幫助,養(yǎng)成了被動(dòng)的習(xí)慣,因此,許多青少年不善于主動(dòng)規(guī)劃自己的成長(zhǎng)道路,不知道如何積極地尋找資源,使自己的學(xué)業(yè)和人生邁上更高的階梯。
讓我們通過(guò)一些權(quán)威數(shù)據(jù)再次比較下,在問(wèn)道平時(shí)在校外學(xué)習(xí)幾個(gè)小時(shí)的問(wèn)題時(shí),美國(guó)學(xué)生大多回答“半小時(shí)”,中國(guó)學(xué)生的回答多是“兩個(gè)小時(shí)”,而表示在校外“幾乎不學(xué)習(xí)”的美國(guó)高中生有15.4%,中國(guó)高中生只有8.1%。另外,“幾乎每天與朋友進(jìn)行電話或短信聯(lián)絡(luò)”的人數(shù)比例,美國(guó)學(xué)生為30.6%,中國(guó)學(xué)生為6.3%。
這些數(shù)據(jù)表明了中國(guó)人的學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間長(zhǎng)甚至影響到了與朋友之間的交流,而且在中考高考階段,很多考生們每天只休息6個(gè)小時(shí),其他時(shí)間全部用在了做練習(xí),背課文上,這無(wú)疑給朋友之間的交流造成了很大的障礙,更別提活動(dòng)了。用成績(jī)交換友誼或是健康是否值得?這兩者的抉擇想必對(duì)于家長(zhǎng)來(lái)說(shuō)是非常明確的,但對(duì)于孩子的成長(zhǎng)又是否有利呢?
奧巴馬在演講中還談了教師激勵(lì)學(xué)生并督促他們學(xué)習(xí)的責(zé)任。談到了家長(zhǎng)要確保孩子走正路,完成家庭作業(yè)的責(zé)任。
談到了政府要制定高標(biāo)準(zhǔn),支持教師和校長(zhǎng)的工作,徹底改善教學(xué)質(zhì)量差的責(zé)任。這種分體現(xiàn)了美國(guó)學(xué)生的“自由”。對(duì)待孩子,只是循循善誘,而不是強(qiáng)迫。在中國(guó),輟學(xué)是一件十分不好的事,被人們認(rèn)為成“不是學(xué)習(xí)的料”,這種人必定沒(méi)有出息。所以在中國(guó),想學(xué)的認(rèn)認(rèn)真學(xué),不想學(xué)的人也被逼著學(xué),于是,測(cè)驗(yàn)的時(shí)候,各種作弊方式就出現(xiàn)了,而且原來(lái)越猖獗,“槍手”,“買場(chǎng)”等詞屢見(jiàn)不鮮。我想問(wèn),難道學(xué)習(xí)就是人生中必須做的事么?難道他是評(píng)價(jià)一個(gè)人的全部么?而在美國(guó),輟學(xué)率一直居高不下,而為什么在他們中的很多人站在這個(gè)社會(huì)的金字塔的頂端?說(shuō)一些耳熟能詳?shù)拿职桑罕葼枴どw茨

這些人都有同相似之處:輟學(xué),有的甚至是名牌大學(xué),還有就是:非常的成功。這樣的例子還有很多很多,這些美國(guó)人為什么輟學(xué)了,卻成功了?看來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)也不是成功的必要條件,縱然這與社會(huì)保障制度有關(guān),但是也反映出“悟”的問(wèn)題,那些輟學(xué)而選擇創(chuàng)業(yè)的人悟到了,自己應(yīng)該的發(fā)展方向,他們知道縱然繼續(xù)上學(xué),也不能滿足自己的需求,所以毅然選擇了離開(kāi)。既然無(wú)用,何必繼續(xù)?這種膽識(shí),不是能被灌輸?shù)?,特別在傳統(tǒng)的中國(guó),第一個(gè)吃螃蟹的人,成功了,就有了全部;失敗了,一無(wú)所有。社會(huì)現(xiàn)狀就是如此。
說(shuō)到社會(huì)現(xiàn)狀。在演講中,奧巴馬還提到了,孩子們以后可能選擇的職業(yè),作家,發(fā)明家,市長(zhǎng),參議員,最高法院的大法官,在美國(guó)這個(gè)民主的國(guó)家,只要努力,什么都有可能,甚至是總統(tǒng),但這一切擺在中國(guó)就不同了,當(dāng)我們提到市長(zhǎng),省委書(shū)記,國(guó)家主席,只有仰望的感覺(jué),從來(lái)也不會(huì)有愿望去當(dāng)上他。這似乎也是限制中國(guó)孩子理想高度的一個(gè)因素。中國(guó)很多的是子承父業(yè),走關(guān)系等等,甚至有“我爸是李剛”這樣的言語(yǔ),這擺在美國(guó),估計(jì)是永遠(yuǎn)不可能的事。
最近聽(tīng)說(shuō),高考要改革,作為中國(guó)最重大的考試之一,高考改革將是教育制度改革的標(biāo)志,高考考的不僅是學(xué)習(xí)方面的成績(jī),還有各方面的素質(zhì),表現(xiàn)。這無(wú)疑希望學(xué)生發(fā)展得全面。希望往我們中國(guó)學(xué)生今后不只能看到國(guó)外領(lǐng)導(dǎo)對(duì)學(xué)生的開(kāi)導(dǎo),也能夠聽(tīng)到自己國(guó)家的聲音。
第二篇:奧巴馬開(kāi)學(xué)演講

他告訴學(xué)生,在政府做好本職工作,幫助學(xué)生獲得接受優(yōu)質(zhì)教育的機(jī)會(huì)的同時(shí),學(xué)生仍然應(yīng)該努力學(xué)習(xí),為自己的未來(lái)?yè)?dān)起責(zé)任。
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you!Hello!(Applause.)Thank you.Thank you.Well, hello, Philadelphia!(Applause.)And hello, Masterman.It is wonderful to see all of you.What a terrific introduction by Kelly.Give Kelly a big round of applause.(Applause.)I was saying backstage that when I was in high school, I could not have done that.(Laughter.)I would have muffed it up somehow.So we are so proud of you and everything that you’ve done.And to all the students here, I’m thrilled to be here.We’ve got a couple introductions I want to make.First of all, you’ve got the outstanding governor of Pennsylvania, Ed Rendell, in the house.(Applause.)The mayor of Philadelphia, Michael Nutter, is here.(Applause.)Congressman Chaka Fattah is here.(Applause.)Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz is here.(Applause.)Your own principal, Marge Neff, is here.(Applause.)The school superintendent, Arlene Ackerman, is here and doing a great job.(Applause.)And the Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, is here.(Applause.)
And I am here.(Applause.)And I am thrilled to be here.I am just so excited.I’ve heard such great things about what all of you are doing, both the students and the teachers and the staff here.Today is about welcoming all of you, and all of America’s students, back to school, even though I know you’ve been in school for a little bit now.And I can’t think of a better place to do it than at Masterman.(Applause.)Because you are one of the best schools in Philadelphia.You are a leader in helping students succeed in the classroom.Just last week, you were recognized by a National Blue Ribbon--as a National Blue Ribbon School because of your record of achievement.And that is a testament to everybody here –-to the students, to the parents, to the teachers, to the school leaders.It’s an example of excellence that I hope communities across America can embrace.Over the past few weeks, Michelle and I have been getting Sasha and Malia ready for school.And they’re excited about it.I’ll bet they had the same feelings that you do--you’re a little sad to see the summer go, but you’re also excited about the possibilities of a new year.The possibilities of building new friendships and strengthening old ones, of joining a school club, or trying out for a team.The possibilities of growing into a better student and a better person and making not just your family proud but making yourself proud.But I know some of you may also be a little nervous about starting a new school year.Maybe you’re making the jump from elementary to middle school, or from middle school to high school, and you’re worried about what that’s going to be like.Maybe you’re starting a new school.You’re not sure how you’ll like it, trying to figure out how you’re going to fit in.Or maybe you’re a senior, and you’re anxious about the whole college process;about where to apply and whether you can afford to go to college.And beyond all those concerns, I know a lot of you are also feeling the strain of some difficult times.You know what’s going on in the news and you also know what’s going on in some of your own families.You’ve read about the war in Afghanistan.You hear about the recession that we’ve been through.And sometimes maybe you’re seeing the worries in your parents’ faces or sense it in their voice.So a lot of you as a consequence, because we’re going through a tough time a country, are having to act a lot older than you are.You got to be strong for your family while your brother or sister is serving overseas, or you’ve got to look after younger siblings while your mom is working that second shift.Or maybe some of you who are little bit older, you’re taking on a part-time job while your dad’s out of work.And that’s a lot to handle.It’s more than you should have to handle.And it may make you wonder at times what your own future will look like, whether you’re going to be able to succeed in school, whether you should maybe set your sights a little lower, scale back your dreams.But I came to Masterman to tell all of you what I think you’re hearing from your principal and your superintendent, and from your parents and your teachers: Nobody gets to write your destiny but you.Your future is in your hands.Your life is what you make of it.And nothing--absolutely nothing--is beyond your reach, so long as you’re willing to dream big, so long as you’re willing to work hard.So long as you’re willing to stay focused on your education, there is not a single thing that any of you cannot accomplish, not a single thing.I believe that.And that last part is absolutely essential, that part about really working hard in school, because an education has never been more important than it is today.I’m sure there are going to be times in the months ahead when you’re staying up late doing your homework or cramming for a test, or you’re dragging yourself out of bed on a rainy morning and you’re thinking, oh, boy, I wish maybe it was a snow day.(Laughter.)
But let me tell you, what you’re doing is worth it.There is nothing more important than what you’re doing right now.Nothing is going to have as great an impact on your success in life as your education, how you’re doing in school.More and more, the kinds of opportunities that are open to you are going to be determined by how far you go in school.The farther you go in school, the farther you’re going to go in life.And at a time when other countries are competing with us like never before, when students around the world in Beijing, China, or Bangalore, India, are working harder than ever, and doing better than ever, your success in school is not just going to determine your success, it’s going to determine America’s success in the 21st century.So you’ve got an obligation to yourselves, and America has an obligation to you, to make sure you’re getting the best education possible.And making sure you get that kind of education is going to take all of us working hard and all of us working hand in hand.It takes all of us in government--from the governor to the mayor to the superintendent to the President--all of us doing our part to prepare our students, all of them, for success in the classroom and in college and in a career.It’s going to take an outstanding principal, like Principal Neff, and outstanding teachers like the ones you have here at Masterman--teachers who are going above and beyond the call of duty for their students.And it’s going to take parents who are committed to your education.Now, that’s what we have to do for you.That’s our responsibility.That’s our job.But you’ve got a job, too.You’ve got to show up to school on time.You’ve got to pay attention in your class.You’ve got to do your homework.You’ve got to study for exams.You’ve got to stay out of trouble.You’ve got to instill a sense of excellence in everything that you do.That kind of discipline, that kind of drive, that kind of hard work, is absolutely essential for success.And I can speak from experience here because unlike Kelly, I can’t say I always had this discipline.See, I can tell she was always disciplined.I wasn’t always disciplined.I wasn’t always the best student when I was younger.I made my share of mistakes.I still remember a conversation I had with my mother in high school.I was kind of a goof-off.And I was about the age of some of the folks here.And my grades were slipping.I hadn’t started my college applications.I was acting, as my mother put it, sort of casual about my future.I was doing good enough.I was smart enough that I could kind of get by.But I wasn’t really applying myself.And so I suspect this is a conversation that will sound familiar to some students and some parents here today.She decided to sit me down and said I had to change my attitude.My attitude was what I imagine every teenager’s attitude is when your parents have a conversation with you like that.I was like, you know, I don’t need to hear all this.I’m doing okay, I’m not flunking out.So I started to say that, and she just cut me right off.She said, you can’t just sit around waiting for luck to see you through.She said, you can get into any school you want in the country if you just put in a little bit of effort.She gave me a hard look and she said, you remember what that’s like? Effort?(Laughter.)Some of you have had that conversation.(Laughter.)And it was pretty jolting hearing my mother say that.But eventually her words had the intended effect, because I got serious about my studies.And I started to make an effort in everything that I did.And I began to see my grades and my prospects improve.And I know that if hard work could make the difference for me, then it can make a difference for all of you.And I know that there may be some people who are skeptical about that.Sometimes you may wonder if some people just aren’t better at certain things.You know, well, I’m not good at math or I’m just not really interested in my science classes.And it is true that we each have our own gifts, we each have our own talents that we have to discover and nurture.Not everybody is going to catch on in certain subjects as easily as others.But just because you’re not the best at something today doesn’t mean you can’t be tomorrow.Even if you don’t think of yourself as a math person or a science person, you can still excel in those subjects if you’re willing to make the effort.And you may find out you have talents you never dreamed of.Because one of the things I’ve discovered is excelling--whether it’s in school or in life--isn’t mainly about being smarter than everybody else.That’s not really the secret to success.It’s about working harder than everybody else.So don’t avoid new challenges--seek them out, step out of your comfort zone, don’t be afraid to ask for help.Your teachers and family are there to guide you.They want to know if you’re not catching on to something because they know that if you keep on working at it, you’re going to catch on.Don’t feel discouraged;don’t give up if you don’t succeed at something the first time.Try again, and learn from your mistakes.Don’t feel threatened if your friends are doing well;be proud of them, and see what lessons you can draw from what they’re doing right.Now, I’m sort of preaching to the choir here because I know that’s the kind of culture of excellence that you promote at Masterman.But I’m not just speaking to all of you, I’m speaking to kids all across the country.And I want them to all here that same message: That’s the kind of excellence we’ve got to promote in all of America’s schools.That’s one of the reasons why I’m announcing our second Commencement Challenge.Some of you may have heard of this.If your school is the winner, if you show us how teachers and students and parents are all working together to prepare your kids and your school for college and a career, if you show us how you’re giving back to your community and your country, then I will congratulate you in person by speaking at your commencement.Last year I was in Michigan at Kalamazoo and had just a wonderful time.Although I got to admit, their graduating class was about 700 kids and my hands were really sore at the end of it because I was shaking all of them.(Laughter.)
But the truth is, an education is about more than getting into a good college.It’s about more than getting a good job when you graduate.It’s about giving each and every one of us the chance to fulfill our promise, and to be the best version of ourselves we can be.And part of that means treating others the way we want to be treated--with kindness and respect.So that’s something else that I want to communicate to students not just here at Masterman but all across the country.Sometimes kids can be mean to other kids.Let’s face it.We don’t always treat each other with respect and kindness.That’s true for adults as well, by the way.And sometimes that’s especially true in middle school or high school, because being a teenager isn’t easy.It’s a time when you’re wrestling with a lot of things.When I was in my teens, I was wrestling with all sorts of questions about who I was.I had a white mother and a black father, and my father wasn’t around;he had left when I was two.And so there were all kinds of issues that I was dealing with.Some of you may be working through your own questions right now and coming to terms with what makes you different.And I know that figuring out all of that can be even more difficult when you’ve got bullies in a class who try to use those differences to pick on you or poke fun at you, to make you feel bad about yourself.And in some places, the problem is even more serious.There are neighborhoods in my hometown of Chicago, and there are neighborhoods right here in Philadelphia where kids are doing each other serious harm.So, what I want to say to every kid, every young person--what I want all of you--if you take away one thing from my speech, I want you to take away the notion that life is precious, and part of what makes it so wonderful is its diversity, that all of us are different.And we shouldn’t be embarrassed by the things that make us different.We should be proud of them, because it’s the thing that makes us different that makes us who we are, that makes us unique.And the strength and character of this country has always come from our ability to recognize--no matter who we are, no matter where we come from, no matter what we look like, no matter what abilities we have--to recognize ourselves in each other.I was reminded of that idea the other day when I read a letter from Tamerria Robinson.She’s a 12-year-old girl in Georgia.And she told me about how hard she works and about all the community service she does with her brother.And she wrote, “I try to achieve my dreams and help others do the same.” “That,” she said, “is how the world should work.” That’s a pretty good motto.I work hard to achieve my goals and then I try to help others to achieve their goals.And I agree with Tamerria.That’s how the world should work.But it’s only going to work that way if all of you get in good habits while you’re in school.So, yes, each of us need to work hard.We all have to take responsibilities for our own education.We need to take responsibility for our own lives.But what makes us who we are is that here, in this country, in the United States of America, we don’t just reach for our own dreams, we try to help others do the same.This is a country that gives all its daughters and all of its sons a fair chance, a chance to make the most of their lives and fulfill their God-given potential.And I’m absolutely confident that if all of our students--here at Masterman and across this country--keep doing their part, if you guys work hard and you’re focused on your education, you keep fighting for your dreams and then you help each other reach each other’s dreams, then you’re not only going to succeed this year, you’re going to succeed for the rest of your lives.And that means America will succeed in the 21st century.So my main message to all of you here today: I couldn’t be prouder of you.Keep it up.All of you I know are going to do great things in the future.And maybe some time in the 21st century, it’s going to be one of you that’s standing up here speaking to a group of kids as President of the United States.Thank you.God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.Thank you.(Applause.)

I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school.And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if you're a little nervous.I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now--(applause)--with just one more year to go.And no matter what grade you're in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could've stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.I know that feeling.When I was young, my family lived overseas.I lived in Indonesia for a few years.And my mother, she didn't have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday.But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.Now, as you might imagine, I wasn't too happy about getting up that early.And a lot of times, I'd fall asleep right there at the kitchen table.But whenever I'd complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she'd say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.”(Laughter.)
So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school.But I'm here today because I have something
important to discuss with you.I'm here because I want to talk with you about your education and what's expected of all of you in this new school year.Now, I've given a lot of speeches about education.And I've talked about responsibility a lot.I've talked about teachers' responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working, where students aren't getting the opportunities that they deserve.But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world--and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.That's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.Every single one of you has something that you're good at.Every single one of you has something to offer.And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is.That's the opportunity an education can provide.Maybe you could be a great writer--maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper--but you might not know it until you write that English paper--that English class paper that's assigned to you.Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor--maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine--but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class.Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice--but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it.You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers.You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job.You've got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future.What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country.The future of America depends on you.What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment.You'll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free.You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems.If you don't do that--if you quit on school--you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country.Now, I know it's not always easy to do well in school.I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.I get it.I know what it's like.My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us the things that other kids had.There were times when I missed having a father in my life.There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn't fit in.So I wasn't always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things I'm not proud of, and I got in more trouble than I should have.And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.But I was--I was lucky.I got a lot of second chances, and I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my dreams.My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, she has a similar story.Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn't have a lot of money.But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.Some of you might not have those advantages.Maybe you don't have adults in your life who give you the support that you need.Maybe someone in your family has lost their job and there's not enough money to go around.Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren't right.But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life--what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at home--none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school.That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school.There is no excuse for not trying.Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.No one's written your destiny for you, because here in America, you write your own destiny.You make your own future.That's what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas.Jazmin didn't speak English when she first started school.Neither of her parents had gone to college.But she worked hard, earned good grades, and got a scholarship to Brown University--is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to becoming Dr.Jazmin Perez.I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three.He's had to endure all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer--hundreds of extra hours--to do his schoolwork.But he never fell behind.He's headed to college this fall.And then there's Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois.Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods in the city, she managed to get a job at a local health care center, start a program to keep young people out of gangs, and she's on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.And Jazmin, Andoni, and Shantell aren't any different from any of you.They face challenges in their lives just like you do.In some cases they've got it a lot worse off than many of you.But they refused to give up.They chose to take
responsibility for their lives, for their education, and set goals for themselves.And I expect all of you to do the same.That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education--and do everything you can to meet them.Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book.Maybe you'll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community.Maybe you'll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all young people deserve a safe environment to study and learn.Maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn.And along those lines, by the way, I hope all of you are washing your hands a lot, and that you stay home from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it.I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work--that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star.Chances are you're not going to be any of those things.The truth is, being successful is hard.You won't love every subject that you study.You won't click with every teacher that you have.Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute.And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.That's okay.Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures.J.K.Rowling's--who wrote Harry Potter--her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published.Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team.He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career.But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life.And that's why I succeed.”
These people succeeded because they understood that you can't let your failures define you--you have to let your failures teach you.You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time.So if you get into trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right.If you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.No one's born being good at all things.You become good at things through hard work.You're not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport.You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song.You've got to practice.The same principle applies to your schoolwork.You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right.You might have to read something a few times before you understand it.You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it's good enough to hand in.Don't be afraid to ask questions.Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.I do that every day.Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength because it shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know
something, and that then allows you to learn something new.So find an adult that you trust--a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor--and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don't ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough.It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation.Young people.Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war;who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon.Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.So today, I want to ask all of you, what's your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a President who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country?
Now, your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions.I'm working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the computers you need to learn.But you've got to do your part, too.So I expect all of you to get serious this year.I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do.I expect great things from each of you.So don't let us down.Don't let your family down or your country down.Most of all, don't let yourself down.Make us all proud.Thank you very much, everybody.God bless you.God bless America.Thank you.(Applause.)

第四篇:奧巴馬開(kāi)學(xué)演講
我們?yōu)槭裁匆獙W(xué)習(xí)
我們?yōu)槭裁匆獙W(xué)習(xí),這應(yīng)該是每個(gè)學(xué)生都會(huì)思考的問(wèn)題吧,可能有些人已經(jīng)明確了答案,可能更大一部分人,尤其是青少年還在茫然著。日前美國(guó)總統(tǒng)奧巴馬做出了開(kāi)學(xué)演講,以自己的觀點(diǎn)闡述了我們之所以要學(xué)習(xí)的原因
他認(rèn)為對(duì)于自己的教育,我們中每一個(gè)人的責(zé)任。正如中國(guó)的古話:天生我才必有用。每一個(gè)人都是有用之材,而發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才能是什么,就是我們要對(duì)自己擔(dān)起的責(zé)任。教育給我們提供了發(fā)現(xiàn)自己才能的機(jī)會(huì)。
他舉了幾個(gè)例子:或許有的人能寫(xiě)出優(yōu)美的文字——甚至有一天能讓那些文字出現(xiàn)在書(shū)籍和報(bào)刊上——但假如不在課上經(jīng)常練習(xí)寫(xiě)作,他不會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己有這樣的天賦;或許有的人能成為一個(gè)發(fā)明家、創(chuàng)造家——甚至設(shè)計(jì)出像今天的iPhone一樣流行的產(chǎn)品,或研制出新的藥物與疫苗——但假如不在自然科學(xué)課程上做上幾次實(shí)驗(yàn),他不會(huì)知道自己有這樣的天賦;或許有的人能成為一名議員或最高法院法官,但假如他不去加入什么學(xué)生會(huì)或參加幾次辯論賽,他也不會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才能。
他說(shuō)的很對(duì),不管我們將來(lái)想要做什么,我們都需要相應(yīng)的教育。無(wú)論你選擇什么職業(yè),良好的教育都必不可少,這世上不存在不學(xué)習(xí)就能拿到好工作的美夢(mèng),任何工作,都需要汗水、訓(xùn)練與學(xué)習(xí)。
就像是我們需要在數(shù)理科學(xué)課程上學(xué)習(xí)的知識(shí)和技能,去治療癌癥、艾滋那樣的疾病,和解決我們面臨的能源問(wèn)題與環(huán)境問(wèn)題;我們需要在歷史社科課程上培養(yǎng)出的觀察力與判斷力,來(lái)減輕和消除無(wú)家可歸與貧困、犯罪問(wèn)題和各種歧視,讓這個(gè)國(guó)家變得更加公平和自由;我們需要在各類課程中逐漸累積和發(fā)展出來(lái)的創(chuàng)新意識(shí)和思維,去創(chuàng)業(yè)和建立新的公司與企業(yè),來(lái)制造就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)和推動(dòng)經(jīng)濟(jì)的增長(zhǎng)。
如他所說(shuō),在那么多頑劣的人最后都通過(guò)努力獲得成功下,我們的長(zhǎng)相、出身、經(jīng)濟(jì)條件、家庭氛圍——都不是疏忽學(xué)業(yè)和態(tài)度惡劣的借口。
我們的未來(lái),并不取決于我們現(xiàn)在的狀況有多好或多壞。沒(méi)有人為你編排好你的命運(yùn),不論是在美國(guó),還是中國(guó),我們的命運(yùn)都是由自己書(shū)寫(xiě),我們的未來(lái)由自己掌握。在奧巴馬的演講中還提到了加利福尼亞州洛斯拉圖斯市的安多尼.舒爾茲(Andoni Schultz),一個(gè)從三歲起就開(kāi)始與腦癌病魔做斗爭(zhēng),熬過(guò)了一次次治療與手術(shù)的勇敢之人——因?yàn)橐淮问中g(shù)影響了他的記憶,因此他得花出比常人多幾百個(gè)小時(shí)的時(shí)間來(lái)完成學(xué)業(yè),但他從不曾落下自己的功課。最后于這個(gè)秋天,他要開(kāi)始在大學(xué)讀書(shū)了。還有賈斯敏、安多尼和香特爾與我們沒(méi)有什么不同。和我們一樣,他們也在生活中遭遇各種各樣的困難與問(wèn)題,但他們拒絕放棄,他們選擇為自己的教育擔(dān)起責(zé)任、給自己定下奮斗的目標(biāo)。
同時(shí)奧巴馬還闡述有些時(shí)候,電視上播放的節(jié)目會(huì)讓我們產(chǎn)生這樣那樣的錯(cuò)覺(jué),似乎我們可以不需要付出多大的努力就能腰纏萬(wàn)貫、功成名就——有的人會(huì)認(rèn)為只要會(huì)唱rap、會(huì)打籃球或參加個(gè)什么真人秀節(jié)目就能坐享其成,但現(xiàn)實(shí)是,我們幾乎沒(méi)有可能走上其中任何一條道路。
因?yàn)?,成功是件難事。我們不可能對(duì)要讀的每門課程都興趣盎然,我們不可能和每名帶課教師都相處順利,我們也不可能每次都遇上看起來(lái)和現(xiàn)實(shí)生活有關(guān)的作業(yè)。而且,并不是每件事,我們都能在頭一次嘗試時(shí)獲得成功。
但那沒(méi)有關(guān)系。因?yàn)樵谶@個(gè)世界上,最最成功的人們往往也經(jīng)歷過(guò)最多的失敗。J.K.羅琳的第一本《哈利·波特》被出版商拒絕了十二次才最終出版;邁克爾·喬丹上高中時(shí)被學(xué)校的籃球隊(duì)刷了下來(lái),在他的職業(yè)生涯里,他輸了幾百場(chǎng)比賽、投失過(guò)幾千次射籃。他們的成功,源于他們明白人不能讓失敗左右自己——而是要從中吸取經(jīng)驗(yàn)。從失敗中,你可以明白下一次自己可以做出怎樣的改變;假如你惹了什么麻煩,那并不說(shuō)明你就是個(gè)搗蛋貴,而是在提醒你,在將來(lái)要對(duì)自己有更嚴(yán)格的要求;假如你考了個(gè)低分,那并不說(shuō)明你就比別人笨,而是在告訴你,自己得在學(xué)習(xí)上花更多的時(shí)間。
沒(méi)有哪一個(gè)人一生出來(lái)就擅長(zhǎng)做什么事情的,只有努力才能培養(yǎng)出技能。任何人都不是在第一次接觸一項(xiàng)體育運(yùn)動(dòng)時(shí)就成為校隊(duì)的代表,任何人都不是在第一次唱一首歌時(shí)就找準(zhǔn)每一個(gè)音,一切都需要熟能生巧。對(duì)于學(xué)業(yè)也是一樣,我們或許要反復(fù)運(yùn)算才能解出一道數(shù)學(xué)題的正確答案,我們或許需要讀一段文字好幾遍才能理解它的意思,我們或許得把論文改上好幾次才能符合提交的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。這都是很正常的。我們所要明確并相信的是我們一定可以!
第五篇:奧巴馬開(kāi)學(xué)演講觀后感
篇一:奧巴馬開(kāi)學(xué)演講觀后感
開(kāi)學(xué)了,第一節(jié)語(yǔ)文課老師給我們觀看了奧巴馬的開(kāi)學(xué)演講,這段視頻雖然很短,但卻令我受益匪淺!
奧巴馬的演講跟其他人的不一樣,他很真實(shí),就像是一位父親正在教育不想上學(xué)的孩子。
奧巴馬告訴我們學(xué)習(xí)不是一件輕松的事情。他以自己為例子,敘述了他小時(shí)候,他媽每天早上為他補(bǔ)課的事。奧巴馬同樣告訴了我們,學(xué)習(xí)得靠自己,因?yàn)榫退隳阌辛俗罹礃I(yè)的老師,最優(yōu)秀的學(xué)校和最盡力的家長(zhǎng),如果你自己不付出成功所必需的努力,這一切都會(huì)毫無(wú)意義。
他也告訴了我們學(xué)習(xí)的意義:學(xué)習(xí)可以幫助我們找到自己的才能。如果你不接受培訓(xùn),你將不可能找到一份好工作,更不可能會(huì)對(duì)國(guó)家做出貢獻(xiàn)!
他告訴我們總會(huì)有一些因素?cái)_亂你的學(xué)習(xí),他也舉了許多例子:可能在你們的生活中,沒(méi)有成人能給出你們所需要的那些支持。你們家庭中可能會(huì)有人失業(yè),經(jīng)濟(jì)拮據(jù)??赡苣銈兩钤诓粔虬踩泥徖锃h(huán)境,或受到過(guò)行為不端朋友的影響。但是這些都不是你逃避學(xué)習(xí)的借口。你需要給自己定一個(gè)目標(biāo),可以很簡(jiǎn)單,但你一定要堅(jiān)持。奧巴馬舉了許多人的例子,例如:賈斯敏·佩雷茲、安多尼·舒爾茲、香特爾·史蒂夫、邁克爾喬丹。成功不是一件簡(jiǎn)單的事情,但沒(méi)有關(guān)系,失敗并不是意味著你不行,而是說(shuō)明你離成功更近了一步。面對(duì)失敗,你不應(yīng)該放棄自己,而是應(yīng)該從中吸取經(jīng)驗(yàn),從而在下一次做出改變。
奧巴馬的這次開(kāi)學(xué)演講不僅堅(jiān)定了我的決心,更是教會(huì)了我不少讀書(shū)的方法和心得。這使我想起了拿破侖曾說(shuō)過(guò)的一句話:“我成功是因?yàn)槲矣袥Q心,從不躊躇。”

篇三:奧巴馬開(kāi)學(xué)演講觀后感
對(duì)于教育,我們現(xiàn)在的每一個(gè)人都有責(zé)任,聽(tīng)了《奧巴馬開(kāi)學(xué)演講》后,我想談?wù)勎覀儗W(xué)生對(duì)于自己有什么責(zé)任。
無(wú)論你將來(lái)想從事什么樣的職業(yè),都要通過(guò)教育才能實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的夢(mèng)想。曾經(jīng),我想當(dāng)一名消防隊(duì)員,就爭(zhēng)取聽(tīng)到更多的消防講座,了解更多的消防知識(shí)。記得有一次校本課程教育中講到消防,我整節(jié)課眼睛都不眨一下,并認(rèn)真做好筆記,以便將來(lái)可以成為一名優(yōu)秀的消防隊(duì)員。后來(lái),我想當(dāng)一名軍人,所以中央七臺(tái)軍事頻道便加入到了我的喜愛(ài)頻道之中,為我的軍事知識(shí)提供了教育途徑。前段時(shí)間日本侵犯我國(guó)領(lǐng)土釣魚(yú)島,我每天密切關(guān)注新聞,了解最新動(dòng)態(tài),雖然現(xiàn)在我能做的非常少,但是,少年強(qiáng)則國(guó)強(qiáng),我會(huì)努力學(xué)習(xí),期盼有朝一日能盡我所能,保衛(wèi)祖國(guó)!
有些山區(qū)里的孩子沒(méi)有教室,沒(méi)有桌椅,沒(méi)有教材,甚至沒(méi)有老師,但是他們?nèi)匀豢释x書(shū);有些貧困的孩子沒(méi)有書(shū)包,沒(méi)有文具,沒(méi)有課本,甚至沒(méi)有入學(xué)資格,可是他們依然期盼上學(xué)?,F(xiàn)在政府給我們提供了良好的讀書(shū)環(huán)境,所以我們必須珍惜現(xiàn)在有的一切,沒(méi)有什么是我們不好好讀書(shū)的借口。我將多閱讀、勤寫(xiě)作,學(xué)好語(yǔ)文;我將仔細(xì)計(jì)算、多做習(xí)題,學(xué)好數(shù)學(xué);我將天天朗讀,日日背誦,學(xué)好英語(yǔ);我將認(rèn)真聽(tīng)課,學(xué)好其他一切課程。
沒(méi)有哪一個(gè)人是生下來(lái)就什么都會(huì)的,只有努力,才能培養(yǎng)出技能。就像我打籃球,剛開(kāi)始的時(shí)候,我不會(huì)運(yùn)球,不會(huì)傳球,籃也投不準(zhǔn),甚至連基本規(guī)則都不知道,經(jīng)常犯規(guī),有時(shí)還會(huì)遭到隊(duì)友的埋怨?,F(xiàn)在,經(jīng)過(guò)一段時(shí)間的艱苦訓(xùn)練,我不僅了解了比賽規(guī)則,投籃命中率增高,而且還熟練地掌握了三步上籃的技巧。對(duì)于學(xué)業(yè)也是一樣,我們或許要反復(fù)運(yùn)算才能解出一道數(shù)學(xué)題的正確答案,我們或許需要讀一段文字好幾遍才能理解它的意思,我們或許得把作文改上好幾次才能符合提交的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。這都是很正常的。所以,我要盡最大的努力,向著自己的目標(biāo)前進(jìn)。
無(wú)論將來(lái)做什么,我都會(huì)下定決心,堅(jiān)持到底,永不放棄!因?yàn)?,我的命運(yùn)由自己書(shū)寫(xiě),我的未來(lái)由自己掌控!
