作者简介： 「全美最佳教師獎」得主給所有家長、中小學生、教育工作者的超基本55條
唯一被美國總統接見過三次的小學老師
隨便放三十名學生在他班上，
不管從前成績、操行如何，
他都能把全班每一個都教成優等生
「 我每年開始帶一班，心裡都很清楚，我只有一年的時間，
去改變班上每個孩子的一生。我下定決心，
要給我的學生一個不同的人生，一個更好的人生。」
在他教書的第一年，就有家長受不了他對小孩的嚴苛管教，打電話叫警察來捉他。在他教書的第五年，他二十八歲，已經榮獲「全美最佳教師獎」。
對他來說，教書就是製造驚喜，就是製造孩子難忘的經驗。他教過的學校，學生都來自最貧困的家庭，學校的資源也不豐富。但憑著他的熱情，與本書所介紹的「超基本五十五條」，只要被他教過的學生，成績一定會突飛猛進，氣質也會變得彬彬有禮。
作者簡介
隆‧克拉克（Ron Cla）)他說，他從沒想過要當老師。大學時代雖然有修教育學分，但純粹是為了拿助學金，好減輕父母的負擔。他熱愛旅行，到處尋求刺激。他一直覺得教書很無趣，他才不想教書。
大學畢業後，他到歐洲、日本「冒險」了兩年，終於還是回到家鄉小鎮，當起了小學老師。他很意外地發現，教書也可以是一場充滿刺激的冒險之旅。他說，這個工作會賜給他許多大好機會，去改變孩子們的一生。他不能想像有一天他會不再教書，因為他才不想放棄那麼多那麼好的機會。
他先後教過兩所小學。第一所在北卡州偏僻的鄉下，學生很弱勢，資源很缺乏，老師都不想去教，結果他把他那班教成全國知名，全班同學都獲得耶誕節前夕去白宮作客的殊榮，與克林頓總統伉儷一起唱「平安夜」。有一天他看電視，看到紐約市最貧窮的哈林區，那裡的學生更弱勢，資源更缺乏，老師更不想去教，他立刻決定搬到紐約市，找到電視節目中的那家環境奇差無比的小學，向校方毛遂自薦。結果兩年後，紐約市最難考的明星初中，考進去最多的就是他的學生。
他是美國南方人。美國南方最講究生活教養，本書的「超基本五十五條」除了搞笑的那一條之外，幾乎都是他從小被祖母教出來的做人規矩。他在本書中傳授許多經驗談，分享他教書生涯的許多小故事，也分享他從自己犯過的錯誤中所學到的教訓。他的方式往往與眾不同，但他總會詳加解釋為什麼要這樣。我們也可以從書中看到他過人的熱情，了解他的學生之所以會脫胎換骨，變得既有禮又用功，靠得並不只是一大堆規定，還有他無保留的付出與耐心。
本書在美國出版後，許多教育工作者和家長都覺得相見恨晚。大學的教育系所也爭相邀請他去演講。從美國到日本，許多教育網站都 post 了許多讚譽。他的專屬網站：http://www.ronclark.info/
然后，又偶然看了这本书，是一位黑道兄弟出的书。然后我发现，自己既不如小学生，也不如黑道。

作者簡介
路易斯．費倫特Louis Ferrante
路易斯．費倫特曾經是個活躍的黑道分子，隸屬美國五大黑手黨幫派的甘比諾犯罪家族。出生在紐約皇后區的他，年紀輕輕便加入黑道，13歲開始負責偷竊，還沒20歲就擁有幫眾成為一方角頭，不到25歲在幫派中已是肩負百萬美元生意的菁英階層。
1994年在一次掃蕩黑幫的調查行動中，被逮捕入獄。在獄中他讀了生平第一本書，並且從此廢寢忘食。當別人的牢房中貼滿美女圖，他的牢房裡堆滿了書。他也開始寫作，甚至開始研究法律，為自己上訴辯護，爭取到縮短刑期提前出獄(一共服刑8年半)。
出獄之後，他完全脫離黑幫，開始寫作，首先把自己黑道生涯寫成回憶錄，引起廣泛迴響。他同時現身說法到監獄鼓勵受刑人識字、受教育的重要，也協助提倡全面提升國民識字率。2011年推出《我在黑道學會的88堂商管課》後，再度引起各界注意，除了成為暢銷書作家，也獲得財經商管媒體的報導，獲得矚目與肯定，在英國還受頒傑出貢獻獎。
目前專事演講與寫作。
补充：小学生要求的英文：
“The Essential 55”by Ron ClarkRule 1When responding to any adult, you must answer by saying“Yes ma’am” or “No sir.” Just nodding your head or sayingany other form of yes or no is not acceptable.Rule 2Make eye contact. When someone is speaking, keep youreyes on him or her at all times. If someone makes acomment, turn and face that person.Rule 3If someone in the class wins a game or does something well,we will congratulate that person. Claps should be at leastthree seconds in length with the full part of both handsmeeting in a manner that will give the appropriate clapvolume.Rule 4During discussions, respect other students’ comments,opinions, and ideas. When possible, make statements like, “Iagree with John, and I also feel that…” or “I disagree withSarah. She made a good point I feel that…” or “I think Victormade an excellent observation, and it made me realize…”Rule 5If you win or do well at something, do not brag. If you lose, donot show anger. Instead, say something like, “I really enjoyedthe competition, and I look forward to playing you again,” or“good game,” or don’t say anything at all. To show anger orsarcasm, such as “I wasn’t playing hard anyway” or “Youreally aren’t that good,” shows weakness.Rule 6If you are asked a question in conversation, you should ask aquestion in return.Me: “Did you have a nice weekend?”You: “Yes, I had a great time. My family and I went shopping.What about you? Did you have a nice weekend?”It is only polite to show others that you are just as interested inthem as they are in you.Rule 7“When you cough or sneeze or burp, it is appropriate to turnyour head away from others and cover your mouth with thefull part of your hand. Using a fist is not acceptable.Afterward, you should say, “Excuse me.”Rule 8“Do not smack your lips, tsk, roll your eyes, or showdisrespect with gestures.”Rule 9“Always say thank you when I give you something. If you donot say it within 3 seconds after receiving the item, I will take itback. There is no excuse for not showing appreciation.”Rule 10“When you are given something from someone, never insultthat person by making negative comments about the gift or byinsinuating that it wasn’t appreciated”Rule 11“Surprise others by performing random acts of kindness. Goour of your way to do something surprisingly kind andgenerous for someone at least once a month.”Rule 12“Occasionally we may grade each other’s papers as a group.When grading other students’ papers, if you give someone anincorrect grade, whether it is higher or lower than theydeserve, the amount the grade differs from the actual gradewill be deducted from your paper. The only marks you areallowed to make on others’ papers are an “X” and the numberthey got incorrect.”Rule 13“When we read together in class, you must follow along. If Icall on you to read, you must know exactly where we are andbegin to read immediately”Rule 14“Answer all questions with a complete sentence. Forexample, if the question asks, “What is the capital of Russia?”you should respond by writing, “The capital of Russia isMoscow.” Also, in conversation with others, it is important touse complete sentences out of respect for the person’squestion. For example, if a person asks, “How are you?”instead of just responding by saying, “Fine,” you should say,“I’m doing fine, thank you. How about yourself?”Rule 15“At times throughout the year, I will give rewards for goodbehavior, academic performances and other acts worthy ofpraise. If you ever ask me for a reward, however, it will not begiven. It is rude to ask if you are getting something for goodbehavior. You should be good and try your best because youare trying to better yourself, not because you are anticipatinga reward. I usually give some sort of reward to everyone whoscores 100 on unit tests. If you make 100 and ask if you aregetting something, no one who made 100 will be givenanything.”Rule 16“Homework will be turned in each day for each subject byevery student with no exceptions.”Rule 17“When we are in transition from one subject to the other, thechange will be swift, quiet and orderly. We should beconsistently able to turn from one book to another, completewith all homework and necessary materials, as quickly aspossible. The opportune amount of time to spend in transitionshould be less than ten seconds, and we will work toward agoal of seven seconds.”Rule 18“You will make every effort to be as organized as possible.”Rule 19“When I assign homework, there is to be no moaning orcomplaining. This will result in a doubled assignment.”Rule 20“While you are with a substitute teacher, you will obey thesame rules that you follow when I am with you. (I know this ishard, but it is important.)”Rule 21“We will follow certain classroom protocols. We will beorganized, efficient, and on task. In order to do so, we willfollow these rules:1. Do not get out of your seat without permission. Exception:If you are sick, leave immediately.2. Do not speak unless:You raise your hand, and I call on you.I ask you a question and you are responding.It is a recess of lunch.I instruct you otherwise (for example, during group work).”Rule 22“You may bring a bottle of water and leave it on your desk. Donot ask me f you can get water while I am teaching a lesson.You can even have food at your desk as long as others don’tsee it and I don’t hear you eat it.”Rule 23"Quickly learn the name of other teachers in theschool and greet them by saying things like, "Goodmorning Mrs. Graham," or "Good afternoon Ms. Ortiz.That is a very pretty dress." (Note: If you are inline with the rest of class, you are not allowed tospeak to the teachers at that time because theno-talking rule is in effect. You should speak toother teachers if you are entering or leaving theschool, on recess, on an errand, or changing classes.)Rule 24"Flush the toilet and wash your hands after using the restroom. When in a public rest room, get a paper towel beforewashing your hands. After washing your hands, use the papertowel to turn off the faucets and to press the dispenser to getanother paper towel to dry your hands. (Or use the towel topress the button to start the dryer.) The last thing you want todo is touch areas with clean hands that others have touchedwith dirty hands."Rule 25"We will often have visitors to our school. If someone iscoming to visit our class, I will send two students to the frontdoor of the building. You will have a sign welcoming theperson. When our visitor arrives, you will shake hands, tellhim or her who you are, and welcome the person to ourschool. You will then take the visitor on a small tour of thebuilding before bringing him or her to the classroom."Rule 26“Do not save seats in the lunchroom. If someone wants to sitdown, let him or her. Do not try to exclude anyone. We are afamily, and we must treat one another with respect andkindness.”Rule 27“If I or any other teacher in school is speaking to ordisciplining a student, do not look at that student. Youwouldn’t want others looking at you if you were in trouble orbeing reprimanded, so don’t look at others in that situation. Ifyou are the student I am talking to, do not get angry or fuss atstudents who are looking at you. Let me know and I willhandle the situation.”Rule 28"If you have a question about your homework, you may callme. If I am not there to answer the phone, please leave amessage in the following manner: "Hi, Mr. Clark, this is_______________. I need help with the _______________homework. You can call me back until ___:00. Thank you."There is no need to leave this message fourteen times."Rule 29“There are several manners dealing with food that you mustfollow: I call these my ABC’s of Etiquette.A. When you first sit down for a meal, immediately place younapkin in your lap. If you silverware is wrapped in a napkin,unwrap it as soon as you sit down and place the napkin inyour lap.B. When you are finished eating, place you napkin on the tableto the left of your plate. Place it loosely beside the plate. Don’tcrumple it, because you don’t want to seem untidy. Don’t foldit too neatly, because you don’t want the restaurant to thinkyou assume they are going to use it again. Never leave yournapkin on your chair. This implies that the napkin is too dirtyto be left on the table. Also, in some cultures, leaving thenapkin on the chair is known as a way to say that you don’tintend to return to the restaurant again.C. Never place you elbows on the table.D. Use one hand to eat, unless you are cutting or buttering food.Never have your fork in one hand and a glass in the other.E. Do not lick your fingers. There is a napkin provided for thepurpose of cleaning your fingers. There is no need to lickyourself clean.F. Do not smack you lips or chew noisily.G. Do not chew with your mouth open.H. Do not talk with your mouth full. Sometimes people will placea hand over their mouth and talk anyway. Don’t do that. Waituntil you have swallowed your food to speak.I. If something is caught in your teeth, don’t go in after it; waituntil you are in the rest room to remove it.J. D not slurp.K. Do not play with your food.L. If you drop your fork, napkin, or anything else on the floor, DONOT pick it up. It is very rude and unsanitary to placesomething on the table that has been on the floor. If you pickup something that has dropped and hand it to a waiter, thenyou will need to excuse yourself and wash your hands beforecontinuing with your meal. The best way to handle a situationwhen something has dropped on the floor is to ask a waiter fora replacement; leave the old one on the floor.M. You are to use your utensils for eating almost everything.Here are ten types of food you may use your hands to eat:1. Pizza2. Bacon3. Cookies4. Bread (Always tear off a bite-sized piece to eat. If youare going to use butter, never butter the whole piece of bread;butter the piece you tore off, and eat that before tearinganother piece.)5. Corn on the cob (It is appropriate to eat across insteadof eating around.)6. Hot dogs, hamburgers, and sandwiches (includingbreakfast biscuits)7. French fries and chips8. Fried chicken9. Asparagus (yes, asparagus)10. Small fruits (like grapes on a stem), apples, oranges,carrots, etc.N. Never reach over someone’s plate to get something. Youshould say, “Will you please pass the salt?”O. Never start eating off of your tray until you are at your seat.P. When we are eating at a restaurant, you are not to begineating until everyone at the table has received food.Q. You should never complain if the line is too long, the food isn’tgood, or if there is a wait. You don’t want to be negative to thepoint where you spoil the enjoyment of the event for others.R. If you are unsure which silverware to use, simply start with thefork, knife or spoon that is the farthest from your plate. On theleft, you will have your salad fork on the outside and yourdinner fork on the inside. On the far right, you will have yoursoupspoon. Beside it you will have the spoon you will use tostir your coffee or tea, then your salad knife, and then yourdinner knife. The utensils above your plate are to be used fordessert.S. When you are finished eating, do not push your plate awayfrom you. Leave it where it is in the setting. If you want toshow you have finished eating, you should lay your fork andknife together diagonally across the plate. You should placethe fork with the tines down, and you should have the sharpside of the knife facing down. Of the two utensils, the forkshould be closest to you.T. Never place a piece of silverware that you have used back onthe table. Leave it on a plate or saucer.U. If you didn’t use a utensil, do not place it on a plate or saucerwhen you are finished. Just leave it where it is.V. Always look a waiter in the eyes when you are ordering,asking a question, or saying thank you.W. Make a point to remember the waiter’s name when heintroduces himself to you. Use his name as often as possiblethroughout the course of the meal.X. If you have to go to the rest room, you should stand up andsay, “Excuse me,” as you leave the table.Y. When you are offered desserts or asked a question such as“What sides would you like?” or “What dressing would you likefor your salad?” it is best to ask, “What are my options?” Thatway, you aren’t going through a process of naming things therestaurant might not have.Z. Never talk to waiters or waitresses as if they are servants.Treat them with respect and kindness, and remember, theyare the ones who are fixing food and bringing it to you. You donot want to be on the bad side of a waiter.”Rule 30“After we eat, we will clean up after ourselves. This includescleaning off the tables and making sure we haven’t left anytrash on the floor or around the eating area. It is important tobe responsible for your trash no matter where you are and tobe sure not to litter.”Rule 31"When we stay in a hotel room, it is appropriate to leave a tipon the pillow for the hotel workers who are responsible forcleaning the room after our stay. Two to three dollars per nightis an appropriate amount, depending on the cost of the room."Rule 32“When we ride on a bus, we will always sit facing forward. Wewill never turn around to talk to other students, stick anythingout of the windows, or get out of our seats. When we exit thebus, we will always thank the bus driver and tell him to have agood day.”Rule 33"When we go on field trips, we will meet different people.When I introduce you to people, make sure that youremember their names. Then, when we are leaving, makesure to shake their hands and thank them, mentioning theirnames as you do so."Rule 34"Whenever you are offered food, whether it be on a buffet ortreats in class, never take more than your fair share. Younever want to be greedy and try to get more than you should,not only because it is wasteful, but also because it isdisrespectful to others when you do not leave enough forthem."Rule 35"Whether we are in school or on a field trip, if someone dropssomething, pick it up and hand it back to them. Even if theyare closer to the object, it is only polite to make the gesture ofbending down to retrieve the item."Rule 36“If you approach a door and someone is following you, holdthe door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to theside, and allow the other person to pass through it first, thenyou can walk through. If the door opens by pushing, hold thedoor open after you push through."Rule 37"If we are on a field trip, it is a good idea to complimentsomething about the place where you are visiting. Forexample, if we visit someone's home, it would be a nicegesture to tell them that you think they have nice curtains.People are always self-conscious when they have guests visittheir home, so you want to make them feel at ease. Also, if weare visiting other places, such as a museum or theater, itwould be nice to comment on how beautiful the architecture isor to tell the guide that you think the facility is very nice."Rule 38"During an assembly do not speak and do not look aroundand try to get the attention of your friends in other classes. Wemust uphold an image that shows we have our act together."Rule 39“If we are on a field trip, it is a good idea to complimentsomething about the place where we are visiting. Forexample, if we visit someone’s home, it would be a nicegesture to tell them that you think they have nice curtains.People are always self-conscious when they have guests visittheir home, so you want to make them feel at ease.

Wemust uphold an image that shows we have out act together!”Rule 41“When you answer the phone at your house, you must do soin an appropriate manner.”Rule 42“When we return from a trip, you will shake my hand as wellas the hands of every chaperone. You will thank us for takingthe time to take you on the trip, and you will let us know thatyou appreciate having the opportunity to go. I am notconcerned with being thanked; I am concerned with teachingyou that is it appropriate to show appreciation when someonehas gone out of his or her way to help you.Rule 43“When we are on field trips and we have to go up escalators,we will stand to the right. That will give other individuals whoare in a hurry the option of walking up the left-hand side of theescalator.
