纽约小学生预测美国总统50年来神准!今年预测的是

  纽约(专题)威彻斯特(Westchester)一所小学的学生还未到合法投票年龄,但年龄小并没有妨碍他们神预测历史。

  据nbc报道,约克镇高地(Yorktown Heights)本杰明富兰克林小学 (Benjamin Franklin Elementary School)学社有光荣的传统。自从1968年学生们猜对尼克松(Richard Nixon)当选总统后,该校就一直都猜对历届的美国总统。

  “我们全体工作人员都有点紧张,”校长帕特里夏·摩尔说。

  教师向学生解释了选举过程,这项工作其实不容易,因为今年选举季充斥着各类丑闻和相互指责。教师要求学生不要过多关注候选人,而是思考什么样的候选人具有好总统的特质。

  “我们一直试图撇开候选人自身,而是真正地与学生们谈论事情的经过,并发挥选民的角色。”

  孩子们在选举主题的教室里排队。四周饰有爱国主义的风扇挂帘,一串串美丽的美国国旗悬挂在蓝色的投票展位上方。在展位内,老师协助学生投票,指导他们沿选择的方向拉杆。

  选举结束后,学生们热切地聚集在礼堂内,等候校方宣布结果。根据孩子们的投票结果,希拉里·克林顿赢得了52%的“人民”投票。

  礼堂爆发出欢呼尖叫声。

  无论本杰明·富兰克林小学的孩子今年是否又猜中,每位“小选民”心中都留下同样的感受:不管结果怎样,他们的每一张投票都很重要。

  “我知道,投票很神圣,”11岁的布莱恩说。 “每个人都应该有机会投票。”
 
Westchester Elementary School Students Correctly Predict Every President Since Richard Nixon
Students at Benjamin Franklin Elementary school have predicted the correct president in the last seven election cycles

They may not be old enough to legally vote, but age hasn't stopped students at a Westchester elementary school from predicting history.

The children have a serious legacy to uphold at Benjamin Franklin Elementary School in Yorktown Heights. Students correctly predicted Richard Nixon would be president in 1968, and the school hasn't been wrong on a presidential election since.

"Our whole staff is a little nervous," said Principal Patricia Moore. "We are a good predictor [of who will win the presidential election]."

Teachers explained the electoral process to students, which hasn't been easy during a campaign season that has been crude and wrought with scandal. Instead of focusing on candidates, students were asked about traits that qualify a candidate as a good president.

"We have been trying to stay away from the candidates and really talk to them about the process of what's happening and preparing them for their roles as voters as well," said teacher Danielle Stiehl.

Children lined up single file inside an election-themed classroom, complete with patriotic fan drapery and a string of American flags dangling above a blue-curtained voting booth. Inside the booth, a teacher assisted students with voting by instructing them to pull a lever in the direction of their choice.

At the end of the day, students eagerly sat inside the auditorium for an announcement of the election results. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote with 52 percent — according to the kids.

The auditorium erupted into wild screams.

Whether the children of Ben Franklin Elementary get this year's president right or not, each voter is left with the feeling that regardless of the results, their ballot certainly counts.

"I learned that it counts when you vote," said 11-year-old Brian Schiller. "Everyone deserves to have a chance to vote."

你愿意看见别人穷。

不是这么说,支援穷人是有底线的,单纯给钱,完全没有想脱贫的意愿了。美国现在感觉在支援懒人,不是穷人。
 
另外48%的怎么解释?:rolleyes:
呃,还没洗过来吧。到中学会更明显吧。当初选土豆学校基本一边倒。朋友的孩子在难民问题上一直指责父母没有同情心。

美国支援穷人?支援懒人?你真知道自己在说什么吗?

选土豆,加拿大不是一边倒吗?加拿大为什么是个好国家,加拿大人为啥好,是一个值得思考下的问题
 
太黑,还有一半实在是洗不干净了。:D
有48%的洗不过来,你们担心个茄子?:rolleyes::buttrock:

学校是被洗脑最多的地方,绿色啦,见不得有人穷啦,因为钱不从自己口袋进出
批评学校的教育不是不可以。。。但是,至少要批的有点说服力
学校宣传绿色,宣传帮助穷人,没什么不好吧

美国支援懒人,即使您的感觉是对的,那也不是学校的过错。。。。那最多是美国政府的过错,如果美国真的在支援懒人
 
哦,每年都对了,就看今年了。两种概率。
