三个十几岁的美国少年跨出国门,到其他世界顶尖的公立高中求学,这个经历被一位随行记者记录下来,并在后续展现给我们。讲述了我们所在这个星球上的教育系统是怎样培养出“最聪明”的孩子的故事,故事引人入胜。
美国人历来愿意将本国学生与其他国家顶尖学生进行比较,但如果从一个美国高中学生的眼中,他所看到的其他超级大国的教育体系是什么样的呢?作者阿曼达·瑞普利跟随三个十几岁的高中生分别来到芬兰,南韩和波兰进行学习和生活,度过了整整一年的时间。通过观察他们闯荡的经历,瑞普利发现了让人惊叹的真理,包括态度,家教和严格的教学体系是怎样给这些国家的教育事业带来革命性的巨变。
在《世界上最聪明的孩子》一书中,瑞普利展示了让人叹服的深刻见解,揭露了这些飞速发展的国家在最近几十年内所取得的伟大成就。生活在那里的孩子们正学着为自己的未来打算,他们从很小的年龄就开始接受锻炼,从失败中学习经验,渐渐成长,并且他们非常努力,坚持不懈,受打击之后也恢复得很快,相对他们而言,改变人生的机会比自尊心或者体育运动来得更重要些。
瑞普利的调查工作将研究和叙事天衣无缝的融合在一起,提供了深度的分析和引人侧目的细节,这一切让你从一翻开这本书开始就停不下来。通过一种清晰和有趣的风格,《世界上最聪明的孩子》为大众在茶余饭后的讨论话题注入新的活力,继续辩论怎样才让学生变得更好更聪明这一话题。

Wonderful blurbs for THE SMARTEST KIDS IN THE WORLD by Amanda Ripley
“Amanda Ripley observes with rare objectivity and depth. She finds a real and complex world ‘over there’—schools with flaws of their own but also real and tangible lessons about how to do better by our kids.The Smartest Kids in the Worldgave me more insights, as a parent and as an educator, than just about anything else I’ve read in a while.”
—Doug Lemov, author ofTeach Like a Champion
“Such an important book! Amanda Ripley lights the path to engaging our next generation to meet a different bar. She makes an enormous contribution to the national and global discussion about what must be done to give all our children the education they need to invent the future.”
—Wendy Kopp, founder and chair, Teach For America, and CEO, Teach For All

THE SMARTEST KIDS IN THE WORLD
And How They Got that Way
Author: Amanda Ripley
Review Issue Date:June 15, 2013
Online Publish Date:May 22, 2013
Publisher:Simon & Schuster
Pages:320
Price ( Hardcover ):$28.00
Publication Date:August 13, 2013
ISBN ( Hardcover ):978-1-4516-5442-4
Category:Nonfiction
Chronicle of a journalist’s global travels to visit schools, interviewing educators and talking with students and their families in order to answer the question, “Why were some kids learning so much—and others so very little?”
Ripley (The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes—and Why, 2008) examines why there is a disparity in performance on tests of mathematical and scientific competence between American students and their global counterparts, even when factors such as poverty and discrimination were taken into account. She explains that America's poor showing translates into lost jobs for Americans, who cannot compete with foreign labor even in semiskilled jobs. Many of the arguments about American education fail to address the real issues behind the competitive failure of American schools compared to Finnish and South Korean schools (where students are in the top tier on international tests), as well as Poland, where the rate of improvement is remarkable. Ripley builds her narrative around the experience of three American teenagers, each of whom spent a year abroad as exchange students—in Finland, South Korea and Poland, respectively. The author describes a political consensus in each of the three countries that nearly guarantees the creation and maintenance of a highly educated workforce, from top to bottom. The importance of education is a reflection of national consensus on the respect for teachers. A large portion of their education budgets go to teachers’ salaries, and the instructors are chosen from the top third of their graduating classes and must meet high professional standards on a par with engineers. Per capita, America spends more money on education, but the money is allocated differently—e.g., to sports teams and programs that provide students with laptops, iPads and interactive whiteboards.
A compelling, instructive account regarding education in America, where the arguments have become “so nasty, provincial, and redundant that they no longer lead anywhere worth going."
