　　As elections loom, Barack Obama tries to reformAmericas schools

　　隨著選舉臨近，巴拉克-Obama嘗試改造美國的學校

　　AMERICAS schools are dotted with stories ofprogress. In December your correspondentwatched a class of seven-year-olds on Chicagospoor West Side. As Mauricia Dantes, a consultant forIBM before she retrained as a teacher, led the pupilsin a discussion about the deaf-and-blind authorHelen Keller, one small girl declared: I feel like Im incollege. One day, thanks to Ms Dantes and other teachers, she may be.

　　美國的學校系統(tǒng)里不乏一些可圈可點的先進事跡。去年12月份，我們的記者在芝加哥欠發(fā)達的西區(qū)旁聽了一節(jié)七年級課程。當毛里西噢-鄧蒂斯教師引導學生們圍繞聾啞作家海倫凱勒展開討論時，一個小女孩大聲說：我感覺自己像在大學里。感謝鄧蒂斯女士和其它教師，有一天她可能真的會到那里。

　　Barack Obama wants such scenes to be the rule rather than the exception. The question iswhat the federal government can do to help. Ten years ago Congress passed the No Child LeftBehind Act , a bold effort to improve Americas schools. On March 14th Mr Obamaannounced that he wants to pass a new version by August. It could be one of his mostimportant feats. But it will not be easy.

　　巴拉克-Obama希望這樣的場景成為常例，而非特例。問題是聯(lián)邦政府能提供怎樣的幫助。十年前，國會通過了《不讓一個孩子掉隊法》一項旨在改進美國學校系統(tǒng)的大膽舉措。3月14日，Obama先生宣布他想在8月份前通過一個新版本。雖然這有可能成為他執(zhí)政期間最重要的成就之一，但是實現(xiàn)起來將不會輕松。
