At Hyde, people strive to unearth that inner leadership through a rigorous character curriculum that not only leads rebel teenagers toward their unique purpose in life, but their families, too. Hyde School helps students learn, embrace, and adopt a character compass that will guide them for the rest of their lives. That is, an explicit philosophy of character in the form of Five Words: Courage, Integrity, Leadership, Curiosity, and Concern;2. Questions on the Topic and the Passage1) What is the principle in Hyde?―If you teach students the merit of such values as truth, courage, integrity, leadership, curiosity and concern, then academic achievement naturallyfollows.2) What kind of school is Hyde and how it is run?― It is a kind of school which prepare kids for a way of life----by cultivating a comprehensive set of principles that can affect all kids.3) Was the first Hyde public School a success? Why?― The program in the first Hyde public didn’t work well and was suspended, because teachers protested the pro gram’s demands and the strains associatedwith more intense work.4) What is the core of Joe Gauld’s approach to education?― H e assumes “every human being has a unique potential”that is based on character, not intelligence or wealth. As a result, at Hyde, conscience andhard work are valued, success is measured by growth, not academicachievement, and students are required to take responsibility for each other. 5) How is the Hyde curriculum like?― It is similar to conventional schools that provide preparation for college, complete with English, history, math and science. Besides, all students arerequired to take performing arts and sports, and provide a community service.6) How do the parents get involved in the program at Hyde schools?― The parents must accept the school’s philosophies and outlook. They are required to participate in a set of activities, including meeting monthly in regional groups, going to a three-day regional camp once a year, and attending at least three workshops, discussion groups and seminars at the home of the school. The parents should act as daily role models for their children.7) How is the relationship between the teachers and the students going atHyde?― At Hyde, the teachers have a fruitful relationship with each student. The focus is really about teacher to students and then they get together to deal with theacademics.II. Background Information1. The Hyde School: In 1966, Joseph W. Gauld founded the first Hyde School in Bath, Maine in response to a system of education which he believed was failing its children because of conflicting priorities. His search for a new approach in education led to a program that valued attitude over aptitude, effort over ability, and character over talent. This emphasis creates a learning environment where students experience success with integrity, the kind of success that lasts a lifetime.Gauld established the Hyde curriculum, based upon Five Words, rather than five subjects: Courage, Integrity, Leadership, Curiosity, and Concern; and he incorporated them into every facet of the program.The school cherishes the idea that educational reform must begin with the family. Actually, the Family Education Program is what makes the Hyde education unique. The school believes that parents are the primary teachers and the home is the primary classroom. This work with families for more than 35 years has led the school to a number of discoveries.One of Hyde's basic purposes is to develop character. This focus on character unleashes the deepest motivation in students' self-discovery. The school helps students answer three questions:Who am I?Where am I going?What do I need to do to get there?Relationships built upon honesty and concern can also be key to helping students. Hyde has created a new student role, where students, parents, and faculty are required to help others achieve their best.Today, there are four Hyde Schools, including inner-city models in New Haven, Connecticut and Washington DC, national programs for parents and teachers, and a number of established partnerships with public schools throughout the country.2. Bath: Bath is an old seafaring town. Its recorded maritime history began only 12 miles down the Kennebec when 400 years ago the first ship built by settlers in the New World was launched. Shipyards once lined the river's edge and Bath-builtvessels sailed the seas of the world.Bath is now the home of the world-class shipbuilder Bath Iron Works. At the south end of the city the nationally acclaimed Maine Maritime Museum is often visited by Tall Ships. Downtown Bath has a unique mix of shops, restaurants and services. The 19th century brick buildings and narrow streets have the charm of childhood revisited in a slower pace and a friendly pedestrian atmosphere. The city's tree-lined avenues are graced by humble and grand examples of classic American architecture.3. Maine: Maine is a state of the northeast United States. It was admitted as the 23rd state in 1820. Located in the extreme northeast corner of the United States, Maine consists largely of a coastal plain of eroded valleys, with more resistant rock forming the generally mountainous west. Over 80% of Maine is forested with great stands of white pine, hemlock, spruce, fir, and hardwoods. Sheltered by the woods and with abundant water from numerous lakes, particularly in the northern counties, wildlife includes moose, deer, black bear, and smaller animals; fish and fowl are also plentiful. The population of Maine is centered on the cleared land along the coast and major rivers.4. Baltimore: Baltimore is a city in northern Maryland on an arm of Chesapeake Bay northeast of Washington, DC. It has been a busy port since the 18th century. A city on the move with new attractions, Baltimore is an exciting city with charming neighborhoods, ethnic and cultural diversity, and a wealth of history.III. Text Structure AnalysisThe passage looks like a report, which tries to explain some ideas, reports some events and proves some conclusions. It tells us the principles advocated by the school, how the principles are accepted or rejected by other schools and finally how the principles turn out to be beneficial to the teachers and students. The essay is made up of 4 parts with each part answering one question.Part 1 (Para.1-para.2): When we come up to the article, we read the title — Where Principles Come First. This naturally brings us the question: What are theprinciples? While reading this part we can get the answer. If you teachstudents the merit of such values as truth, courage, integrity, leadership,curiosity and concern, then academic achievement naturally follows.Part 2 (para.3-para.11):Since the principles of the Hyde School are somewhat different from other schools, the readers would wonder whether theprinciples are accepted by other schools. When we read on, we find theauthor tries to answer the question in Paragraphs 3 to 11. Paragraph 3 isabout one example of how the Hyde School principles were rejected by onepublic school with the reasons made clear to us. From Paragraph 4 toParagraph 11, there is another example of how the Hyde School principleswere appreciated by another public school.Part 3(para.12-para.16): Since the Hyde School principles have been rejected aswell as appreciated, we would be wondering what the detailed principles orapproaches are for the Hyde School. This brings in for us Part 3. Paragraph12 is about some principles for the Hyde School: every student with a uniquepotential based on character; conscience and hard work are highly valued;success is measured by progress or development; and students takeresponsibilities for each other. Paragraph 13 is about what is provided by theHyde School. The Hyde School is different from other schools in additionalrequirements like arts, sports, and community service. And the gradingsystem includes the fact as to how hard the students have tried in their studies.Paragraph 14 to Paragraph 16 is about another important requirement fromthe Hyde School: parents’ commitment and participation in the program.Paragraph 14 is about what have been required of parents. Paragraph 15 isabout how the requirements work in some other schools and how someparents reject the principle. But Paragraph 16 tells us that once the parentsrealize the importance of their participation, the Hyde School’s programshould work well in public schools.Part 4 (para.17-para.20): Now that we are clear about the Hyde Sch ool’s principles, the acceptability of the principles to public schools and what the school’sdetailed principles are, we would naturally ask the question: Are theseprinciples good or beneficial to the teachers as well as the students?Paragraph 17 tells us how the principles prove to be beneficial to the teachersand Paragraphs 18 to 20 tell us one example of how successful the principlesare to the students.The relationship between the parts is best brought out by questions andanswers. While reading the passage, the readers would naturally askthemselves some questions as a way of predicting what is to follow. If whatfollows is just the answer to the question in the readers’ mind, thencomprehension continues. If what follows is not the answer to the question inthe readers’ mind, the readers would look in some other directions to put inthe right question to match what follows.Question 1: What are the principles?Question 2: Are the Hyde principles accepted by other schools?Question 3: What are the detailed principles or approaches advocated by the Hyde School?A key ingredient in the Hydemixture is requiringcommitment andparticipation from parents.Para. 14Question 4: What are the beneficial results of the Hyde School’s principles?IV. Structured WritingA Paragraph of a General Point Supported by ExamplesThe author presents the report with a general point and then continues to support his general point with examples. This is one of the commonest ways of presenting one’s ideas or points of view. The report includes some paragraphs in which the writer starts with a general point and then presents a number of examples to support his point.Now have a look at Paragraphs 5 to 11As in Maine the quest for truth is also widespread at the school in Connecticut. In one English class, the 11 students spend the last five minutes in an energetic exchange evaluating their class performance for the day on a 1-10 scale."I get a 10.""I challenge that. You didn't do either your grammar or your spelling homework.""OK, a seven.""You ought to get a six.""Wait, I put my best effort forth here.""Yeah, but you didn't ask questions today."General statement:The quest for truth is also widespread at the school in Connecticut.Examples:In what class: In one English class.How many students: 11 students.How much time: 5 minutes.What to do: An energetic exchange evaluating their class performance for the day on a 1-10 scale.(Now turn to page 74 and do exercise ⅩⅣ)V.

该校的创始人约瑟夫·高尔德声称学校的教学很成功。

海德中学位于缅因州巴思市,每年的学费高达1.8万美元,因其教导问题少年有方而闻名遐迩。

“我们并不把自己看作一所专为某一类孩子而开设的学校,”马尔科姆·高尔德说。

他是约瑟夫的儿子,毕业于海德中学,现任海德中学校长。

“我们把帮助孩子培养一种生活方式看作自己的职责,办法是倡导一整套能影响所有孩子的价值观念。

”现在,乔·高尔德(约瑟夫·高尔德)正试图将他尚有争议的“品德第一”的理念向旧城区的公立学校推广。

这些学校愿意将用于传统教学计划的税金用于实施这一新的教学方法。

海德公立学校第一个教学计划始于1992年9月。

但几个月后,该计划即告暂停。

教师们对教学计划的高要求以及高强度工作所带来的压力表示抗议。

今年秋天,海德基金会计划在巴尔的摩启动初步的公立学校教学计划。

教师要接受培训,以便今后能在整个巴尔的摩体系内胜任工作。

美国其他学校的领导们也在关注这个教学计划。

去年秋天,在家长的一片抗议声中,海德基金会在康涅狄格州纽黑文市郊区的一所中学内启动了一个引人注目的教学计划。

当地居民担心该校可能招进来旧城区的少数民族学生和问题学生。

就像在缅因州那样,求真也在康涅狄格州的这所中学得到广泛推崇。

在一堂英语课上,11名学生用最后的5分钟展开激烈的讨论,依照1-10的评分标准相互评价他们当天的课堂表现。

(C)UNDERSTANDING PASSAGESPassage 1 High Schools in the United StatesEducation has a very honored place in American society and, with some exceptions among the wealthy, parents of every kind of background and of all income groups send their children to the local high schools. It is an article of faith in the American Dream that a good education will enable a child to achieve a higher standard of living than his or her parents.High schools are public schools in the proper sense of the word 'public', notto be confused with English 'public schools', which are private and expensive.People have a high opinion of American high school. This is because the high schools take their responsibilities very seriously -- and not only in the classroom. They have guidance advisers to whom children can go privately if they have any special problems, especially about their future careers. Parents are encouraged to sharein the school life of their children. In some lower grade classes they actually go into the class during a lesson and help the teachers with plays and class reading, and most schools have highly successful Parent-Teacher Organizations. Teachers and parents get together and discuss their children's problems.For example, John has made no progress at all during the lastterm, because, the teacher suspects, he is in love with a gift in the same class who has rejected him, while Gail seems to be just lazy.Between them, parents and the teacher then work out a plan of action.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?2. Why do people have a high opinion of American high schools?3. Whom do students turn to for help when they have personal problems?4. What are the parents encouraged to do?5. What do teachers and parents get together for?Passage 2 Self-imageDo you have a self-image that can help you succeed or one that can make you fail? Let's discover what self-image is all about. Get a picture in your mind of two empty chairs. In these two chairs let's picture two visitors. In the first chair let's seat a young man who is deaf. In the second chair let's seat a young boy who was born with part of one foot missing.The young man we picked for the first chair was a musician. He was a great artist. Hecomposed many great songs. When he was still a young man he lost his hearing. Itis generally believed that a person cannot be a professional musician or compose music without heating, but t his man had a special driving force that enabled him to write some of the most beautiful music ever written. This man was Beethoven.The visitor in the second chair was a young boy who wasborn with part of one foot missing. This young boy loved sports, especially football. As a young boy and later as a young man he had always dreamed of playing football with a major league football team. He had a thirst that could not be quenched. Finally, he made it into the New Orleans Saints football team and one day on the football field in New Orleans he kicked the longest field goal in football history.His name is Tom Dempsey.If you try to find the special strength that turns an ordinary person into a hero it only exists in the heart or soul of man. It is called a positive self-image.A positive self-image is a great belief in yourself and your ideas.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.6. Why does the speaker talk about two empty chairs at the beginning of the passage?7. What can be inferred about self-image?8. What is generally believed about a deaf person?9. What was the most exciting thing that Tom Dempsey did?10. What is the main idea of this passage?Passage 3 Sports in American High SchoolsAmerican learn sports as part of their education. They learn two or more ball games, such as football or basketball. At high school, they choose groups of boys or girls to make teams.They choose those who are best at that sport. These teams compete against teams from other schools. In many schools students learn wrestling, running, tennis, golf and swimming. They have teams for some of these sports, too. The games between schools are often very exciting. Other students, the ones not on the team,love to watch them. They let everyone know this by shouting and cheering when their team plays well.There is a special club of girls and boys, mostly girls, who jump up and down and shout for their football team. They call themselves cheerleaders, because they lead everyone in shouts and cheers. They wear clothes of a special color -- the color of their school's team. The football players wear that color, too. Each school has a team color and a team name. Cheerleaders call out the team name in their cheers. They practice many hours to learn the special jumping and cheering moves. Cheerleading is almost a sport itself.Every classroom has an American flag in it. From elementary to high school, students start each day by standing up and showing respect to the flag. They put their hands over their hearts and say the "Pledge of Allegiance". This is a promise to the country, which was written by people who came to the US over 200 years ago. By standing and showing respect to the flag people think about the United States and its freedoms.Q uestions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. According to the passage, which sport is not learned at high schools?12. Why are the games between schools exciting?13. What can be learned about cheerleaders?14. How do students start each day in elementary and high school?15. When people stand showing respect to the American flag, what do they usually think about?Passage 4 Setting GoalsWhy is setting goals important? Because goals can help youdo, be, and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.Successful and happy people have a vision of how their life should be and they set lots of goals, both short-term and long-range, to help them reach their vision. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It's like having a map to show you where you want to go.Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set -- and they aren't difficult to reach. It's up to you to find out what your goals, ideals and visions really are. You are the one who must decide what to go after and in what direction to aim your life.Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like an agreement with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular fashion you are able to stimulate your subconscious to be continuously aware of situations that will further your goal.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What does the significance of setting goals lie in?17. In what way do successful people differ from unsuccessful ones?18. According to the speaker, what is the most important thing in the whole process of realizing one's goals?19. What are people suggested to do if they want to realize their goals without failure?20. What is the speaker mainly discussing?Passage 5 Tests, Marks and Report CardsDo you think that tests are only for students? You're wrong. The tests that students take als o test their teachers and schools.In the United States, students take many tests each year. Teachers use tests to see how well pupils are learning at school. If students pass these tests, they go on to the next grade where the work is harder. In this way, it is the students who are tested.But these tests also show if teachers are doing their job. Teachers have to give their pupils a lot of information in each grade. If they don't, their students may not learn enough. So the tests are also for teachers.There is another special test that pupils take each year in all the schools across the country.It is a different test for each grade, but the same for all students in the same grade. It shows what they have learned that year. It shows which schools are teaching well. So tests are also for testing schools.Most American schools give the following marks: A = 91-100 per cent, B = 81-90 per cent,C = 71-80 per cent, D = 65-70 per cent, E = 50-64 per cent, and F = below 50 per cent. In high schools it is possible to take some classes without marks. Then the student gets a "P" for "pass"and an "F" for "fail".Teachers keep lists of students' test and homework marks. They give students marks for how well they work. Then they list the students' marks on their report card. Students get report cards four times a year. One copy is sent to the parents and the school keeps a copy.Seventy-one percent of American students graduate from high school. And 40 percent of high school students go on to college.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.21. Why do teachers use tests?22. Why are the tests for students also for teachers?23. What does the special test taken by pupils in all the schools across the country show?24. How many times do students get report cards a year?25. About what percentage of high school students go on to college?Passage 6Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down on the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.As he got closer he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?"The young man paused, looked up and replied, "Throwing starfish in the ocean." "I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?""The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they'll die.""But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can't possibly make adifference !"The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, "It made a difference for that one."There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can become aware of that gift, we will gain through the strength of our visions the power to shape the future. We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will become better.Questions 26 to 30 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What would the wise man do before he began writing?27. What was the young man doing on the beach?28. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?29. What does the speaker mean by saying "There is something very special in each and every one of us"?30. What can be inferred from the passage?Key:Passage 1: 1. (D) 2. (B) 3. (A) 4. (C) 5. (A) Passage 2: 6. (D) 7.(C) 8. (D) 9. (B) 10. (C) Passage 3: 11. (C) 12. (A) 13. (B) 14. (A) 15.(D) Passage 4: 16. (A) 17. (A) 18. (B) 19. (B) 20. (D) Passage 5: 21.(C) 22. (A) 23. (B) 24. (D) 25.

Unit 3 Section A Where Principles Come First Part One: Objectives1. To know and talk about Hyde School;2. To develop a paragraph by listing;3. To learn to write to pen friends;4. To master the skills of predicting the author‟s ideas.Part Two: Warming up1. School Mottos (校训)Peking University Tsinghua UniversityTruth The Lord is My Light Harvard University University of OxfordLight and TruthYale UniversitySchool Motto of Your University?2. For what do you come to college?1) Some may focus so much of their time on academic achievement that…2) Some may build up their ability in living on their own, so as to …3) Some may extend their talent for a specialty in order to …4) Some may attach more weight to the romance and pleasure …Different students may come to college, harboring different ambitions. Some may focus so much of their time on academic achievement that they could prepare themselves better for future challenges from career. Some may build up their ability in living on their own, so as to be independent of their parents in face of future life. Some may extend their talent for a specialty in order to have a big edge in competition with others for an ideal job. And some may attach more weight to the romance and pleasure on the campus than on anything else to add color and thrill to their college life.3. What does the Hyde School value? Why?1) Attitude or aptitude?2) Ability or effort?3) Intelligence or character?4) Conscience or achievement?5) ….The Hyde School sees itself as preparing children for life by cultivating a comprehensive set of principles, which include the values of courage, integrity, leadership, curiosity and concern. Academic success will then naturally follow. To achieve this goal, the school demands the commitment of the students' parents, who must accept the school‟s philosophies and outlook. This includes meeting monthly in regional groups, going to a three-day regional camp once a year, and attending at least three workshops, discussion groups and seminars at the home of the school. The school recognizes that the success of the students often depends on parent involvement and hopes that parents will act as daily role models for their children. Indeed, the biggest challenge they face is not to get the students to accept their system, but to get the parents to give enough to make it work.4. What is the biggest challenge to the achievement of their goal? Why?1) Difficulty in getting the students to accept their system;2) Strong opposition from the teachers of other schools;3) Inactive commitment of the students‟ parents to their program;4) …Rather than do the same as any other school has ever done, the Hyde School values attitude over aptitude, effort over ability, character over intelligence, and conscience over achievement. According to the school founder, the conventional system of education failed its children because of too much focus on academic achievement. So he believed that if you taught children the merit of such values as truth, integrity, leadership, curiosity and concern, their academic success would then naturally follow. In that light, the school always sees itself as preparing children for life on the principle of Character First. This focus on character is thought to set free the deepest motivation for students‟ self-discovery. The school helps students answer three questions: Who am I? Where am I going? And what do I need to do to get there?To achieve their goal, the Hyde School may have to meet a lot of challenges. They may find there is so little mutual understanding between the teachers and students that students are reluctant to embrace the program. They may run into strong opposition from the teachers of other schools because the attainment of their goal is rather challenging and demanding. But the biggest challenge they face is how to get the parents to make enough commitment to make it work, because the school recognizes that the success of the students often depends on parent involvement as well as parent daily role models for their children.5. What do you think the students of the Hyde School will get from their program?1) If brought up in courage, students will…2) If raised in integrity, students will…3) If cultivated in leadership, students will…4) If filled with curiosity, students will…5) If endowed with concern, students will…6) If enriched with all the above, students will…If students are brought up in courage, they will be brave enough to face up to whatever challenge they run into in the future life; if bathed in integrity, they will keep their life free from dishonesty or easy morality; if cultivated in leadership, they will know how to act as positive role models for society in life; if filled with curiosity, they will stand more chances of discovering what is still unknown to mankind; if endowed with concern, they will do their utmost to make others as happy and healthy as they themselves can be; and if enriched with all the above, they have already put themselves on the way to success in life.6. What is your ideal college like?Just as our ideas about an ideal college are not cut from the same cloth, so the best college may vary from person to person, but, on the whole, we can share our views on the following points: 1) The college is a learning environment where the students are well prepared for tomorrow‟s society, not for today‟s one.2) The college has an excellent faculty whose dedication leads to the all-round development as well as the individual growth of each student.3) The college values such a relationship between faculty and students as is built on honesty and responsibility for each other.7. What do you think of your present campus life?Although my campus life is still far from perfect, it has undergone some welcome changes sinceI came here. To begin with, our living conditions are more in line with our needs. For instance, we are no longer worried about where to take a shower after physical exercise. Besides, our learning environment, due to the introduction of multimedia into classroom-based teaching as well as our more access to reference materials, is much beneficial to us. And best of all, the faculty as a whole attaches as much weight to our EQ growth as to our IQ development.But the foregoing does not mean there is little room for further improvement in our college life. Instead, we still have a long way to cover. First of all, our curriculums need to be widened or modified so as to optimize the structure of our knowledge. In addition, a richer variety should be added to our spare time, say, by prolonging the opening hours of fitness centers, net cafes, ballrooms, the stadium, and reading rooms. And above all, we should be allowed more access to scientific research, social practice and the frontier of our own fields. Only in this way can our college life prepare us best for the future.Part Three: Related Information1. Brief introduction of Hyde:The school opened in 1999 with 240 students in grades 7-9 and currently serves 698 students in grades K-4 and 6-12. It will eventually serve more than 1,000 students in grades K-12. The core philosophy of Hyde Leadership PCS is that each individual is gifted with unique potential that defines a destiny. The unique potential is developed through a character-based curriculum that stresses a student-parent-teacher partnership and creates a family-school bond.2. Key Words about Hyde School:Character-Based:One of Hyde‟s basic purposes is to develop students' character. This focus on character unleashes the deepest motivation in students' self-discovery. The school helps students answer the following three questions: Who am I? Where am I going? What do I need to do to get there?Five Words: Our Five Words are what we believe define character:Leadership - I am a leader through asking the best of myself and the best of others.Integrity - I am gifted with a unique potential and conscience as my guide to discovering it. Curiosity - I am responsible for my own learning.Courage - I learn the most by facing challenges and taking risks.Concern - I need a challenging and supportive community in which to develop my character.Five Principles: Our Five Principles guide the conduct of all the school‟s activity:Destiny - Each of us is gifted with a unique potential that defines a destiny.Humility - We trust in a power and purpose beyond ourselves.Conscience - We achieve our best through character and conscience.Truth - Truth is our primary guide.Brother's Keeper - We help others achieve their best.3. Focus of Hyde: Attitude more than aptitude; Effort more than ability; Character more thantalent4. About Education System:The United States has both public schools and private schools. Public schools are government-controlled at the city level, with standards being set partially at the state and federal level. Generally speaking, the city has the most influence on the schools, followed by the state, and finally by the federal government. Funding for public schools comes from all three levels ofgovernment, the primary source being local property taxes paid by homeowners.There is no charge for attending public schools. Private schools, on the other hand, can be quite expensive to attend. So why do parents send their children to private schools? There are several reasons. One is status. Some private schools are highly regarded, and lend prestige to their students and alumni. Another reason is quality of education, although there are some public schools that offer education superior to private schools. A third reason is wishing to avoid problems associated with a small number of students at certain public schools, including violence and drug use. The other reason is religion. Some parents want their children to attend schools that teach religion as well as academics, which is prohibited by law in the public schools. A final trend to discuss in American education is home schooling. This practice, which has been growing in popularity in recent years, involves teaching children in the home, as the name implies. Home schooling is most popular with religious conservatives, who are concerned their children might be exposed to things and ideas they would prefer them to avoid.5.Bath:The first Hyde School was located in Bath, an old seafaring town. It was listed one of the …Best Small Cities in America‟ and was deemed a …Distinctive Destination‟ by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.6. Maine:Maine is a state of the northeast United States. It was admitted as the 23rd state in 1820. Located in the extreme northeast corner of the United States, Maine consists largely of a coastal plain of eroded valleys, with more resistant rock forming the generally mountainous west. Over 80% of Maine is forested with great stands of white pine, hemlock, spruce, fir, and hardwoods. Sheltered by the woods and with abundant water from numerous lakes, particularly in the northern counties, wildlife includes moose, deer, black bear, and smaller animals; fish and fowl are also plentiful. The population of Maine is centered on the cleared land along the coast and major rivers.7. Cultural Notes:The United States has both public schools and private schools. Public schools are government-controlled at the city level, with standards being set partially at the state and federal level. Generally speaking, the city has the most influence on the schools, followed by the state, and finally by the federal government.

According to one story, when a government official visited the plant and asked about the letters, a creative employee told him "US" was short for "Uncle Sam" Wilson. Soon soldiers were saying all Army supplies were from "Uncle Sam".
During a later war in 1812, Wilson gained a position inspecting meat for US Army forces, working with a man who had signed a contract with the government to provide meat to the army. Barrels of meat supplied to the army were stamped "EAUS", identifying the company (EA) and country of origin (US).
He was strongly influenced by medieval artists and inspired by the Gothic window of an old farmhouse, but the faces in his composition were what captured the world's attention.
While white people had previously been used as models for most American coins, famed artist James Earle Fraser went against tradition by using three actual American Indians as models for his creation.
