Theo thầy Lester Stephens, Hiệu trưởng Trường Quốc Tế Saigon Pearl, nhiều phụ huynh dạy con bằng bạo lực vì đó là cách dễ và nhanh nhất để đạt mục tiêu vâng lời bố mẹ. Thực tế, nó có nhiều ảnh hưởng tiêu cực cả khía cạnh thể chất lẫn tinh thần trẻ trong ngắn và dài hạn.

Dưới đây là chia sẻ của thầy Lester Stephens về tác hại của việc dạy con bằng đòn roi và sức mạnh của lời khen chê tích…

WMS President Brian Morgan participated in the thrice-yearly gathering of the Commission on Independent Schools.

For two intense days earlier this summer, Brian Morgan, WMS President, was cloistered in a hotel in Bedford, Ma. participating in the thrice-yearly gathering of the Commission on Independent Schools, one of the six Commissions of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). Our School, as well as many other independent schools, is accredited by NEASC every ten years. Between decennial visits by a Visiting Committee that writes a report for the Commission, each accredited school submits interim two-year and five-year reports. (Brian chaired the 2005 WMS Visiting Committee.)

Gordon College and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) recently released a joint statement announcing that the College would be undergoing a one year review of its campus policy forbidding “homosexual practice.”

The Wenham, Mass., College was criticized after president, D. Michael Lindsay, joined other academic and religious leaders, including some tied to Catholic colleges, in signing a letter requesting a religious exemption from President Obama’s executive order prohibiting sexual orientation-based discrimination, as reported by The Cardinal Newman Society. Gordon College quickly had its contract to use the town hall in Salem, Mass., canceled by Salem’s mayor in response to Lindsay’s request for religious exemption.

Gordon College will now spend the “next twelve to eighteen months” reviewing all aspects of its policy. At the end of the period the College will submit a review of the process and its outcomes to the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education for the NEASC’s meeting in September 2015. The review is to “ensure [Gordon College’s] ability to foster an atmosphere that respects and supports people of diverse characteristics and backgrounds, consistent with the Commission’s Standards for Accreditation,” according to the joint statement.

The review process will include a “working group of 20 representative trustees, faculty, administrators, staff and students,” but any change to the current Gordon policy “is a responsibility of its Board of Trustees,” according to the joint statement. The NEASC reportedly reached out to Gordon College to assure them that “the organization won’t be rushing to withdraw the school’s accreditation” should the policy remain unchanged, but the NEASC does have control over the College’s access to federal funding.

Housecleaning and Housekeeping for NEASC

Our school has been preparing for an accreditation by the New England Association of Schools & Colleges, Inc. (NEASC), and that means two things:

Housecleaning and housekeeping.

The housecleaning is the easy part. A great deal of time and effort has been spent on making the school look nice to the accreditation team. Considering that our campus is in the bucolic Litchfield Hills of Connecticut,…
