Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about
eleven (11) things they did not and will not learn in school.
He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings
created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and
how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

这个讲述太棒了！这也是大部分高中老师讲给学生的。但是大部分青少年都不能真正的领会。这也是可以理解的，青少年的成长是靠他们自己亲身体验和京历过才会理解的，很多时候说教不是很有效的。这就牵扯出一个家长教育方法的问题，许多家长 over protect , 害怕让孩子失败。让孩子早一点体会失败，不是一件坏事，让他学会自己对自己的行为负责，而不是家长给孩子准备好一切，而且邦孩子擦屁股，当他们犯错时。
