“人们仍然觉得应该给每晚睡五个小时的人颁发劳模奖章,”全美儿童医疗中心(Children’s National Medical Center,位于华盛顿)的睡眠专家朱迪丝·欧文斯(Judith Owens)博士说。“大家都想当然地以为这表示工作比较拼命,值得赞扬。因此,要为推迟上学时间争取更多的支持,就必须从文化层面入手,转变人们的睡眠观。”
Last January, Jilly decided she would try to make that change happen in the Columbia school district, which sprawls across 300 square miles of flatland, with 18,000 students and 458 bus routes. But before she could make the case for a later bell, she had to show why an earlier one just would not do.
去年1月,吉莉下定决心,她要想办法让哥伦比亚学区作出这样的改变,而该校区绵延300多公里,涉及1.8万名学生和458条公交路线。但在说明推迟上课时间的充分理由之前,她还得向大家解释清楚为何上课太早不够合理。
She got the idea in her team-taught Advanced Placement world history class, which explores the role of leadership. Students were urged to find a contemporary topic that ignited their passion. One morning, the teachers mentioned that a school board committee had recommended an earlier start time to solve logistical problems in scheduling bus routes. The issue would be discussed at a school board hearing in five days. If you do not like it, the teachers said, do something.
