Too many third graders can’t read this sentence
Muitos alunos da terceira série não conseguem ler esta frase
9 Feb. 2017- Editor's Picks
Two-thirds of U.S. third graders face challenges that will impact their future, including academic struggles that could lead to dimmer academic and career prospects.
Dois terços dos alunos da terceira série dos EUA enfrentam desafios que impactarão seu futuro, incluindo dificuldades acadêmicas que podem levar a perspectivas acadêmicas e de carreira mais sombrias.
Sadly, only one in three U.S. students demonstrates reading proficiency at the end of third grade. This has alarming consequences for these children, and for our country.
Infelizmente, apenas um em cada três alunos dos EUA demonstra proficiência em leitura no final da terceira série. Isso tem consequências alarmantes para essas crianças e para o nosso país.
A report released today from the Business Roundtable (BRT) sheds light on this troubling trend in American education, and advises business leaders on how they can help put more children on a path to success.
Um relatório divulgado hoje pela Business Roundtable (BRT) lança luz sobre essa tendência preocupante na educação americana e aconselha líderes empresariais sobre como eles podem ajudar a colocar mais crianças no caminho do sucesso.
I’ve heard it said that before third grade, students are learning to read, while after third grade, they’re reading to learn. Grade three is a critical crossroads in a life's journey. If you’ve read this far, then you understand why this is so important. Not enough of our young learners can say the same.
Ouvi dizer que antes da terceira série, os alunos estão aprendendo a ler, enquanto depois da terceira série, eles estão lendo para aprender. A terceira série é uma encruzilhada crítica na jornada da vida. Se você leu até aqui, então entende por que isso é tão importante. Poucos dos nossos jovens alunos podem dizer o mesmo.
I encourage you to read the BRT report. As you read, please consider ways to help our schools and our teachers keep students on paths to bright futures.
Eu o encorajo a ler o relatório do BRT. Enquanto você lê, por favor, considere maneiras de ajudar nossas escolas e nossos professores a manter os alunos em caminhos para futuros brilhantes.

Really, all I read was blabla wa wa wa. Are you Charlie Brown’s teacher? If we can't understand our children who are crying out for help and direction, then there is something wrong with you. Please go back and check yourself! They are worth so much more.
Sério, tudo o que eu li foi blá blá blá. Você é o professor de Charlie Brown? Se não conseguimos entender nossos filhos que clamam por ajuda e direção, então há algo errado com você. Por favor, volte e verifique você mesmo! Eles valem muito mais.

Thanks for sharing. With two young children, I increasingly think about the importance of early childhood education. Pre-k care is far too inaccessible, ultimately magnifying inequality from the earliest stages of life.
Obrigado por compartilhar. Com dois filhos pequenos, penso cada vez mais sobre a importância da educação infantil. O cuidado pré-escolar é muito inacessível, aumentando a desigualdade desde os primeiros estágios da vida.

What exactly is education? Academic education doesn't make someone a better person or even a better employee, I would guess that anything we learn in the education process is at the most 10% useful to us as people. Education should teach academia but also life skills such as budgeting, EQ skills, languages etc., all the elements to be a successful person and not necessarily a successful professional.
O que exatamente é educação? Educação acadêmica não torna alguém uma pessoa melhor ou mesmo um funcionário melhor, eu diria que qualquer coisa que aprendemos no processo educacional é, no máximo, 10% útil para nós como pessoas. Educação deve ensinar academia, mas também habilidades de vida, como orçamento, habilidades de QE, idiomas etc., todos os elementos para ser uma pessoa bem-sucedida e não necessariamente um profissional bem-sucedido.

As the Olympics Approaches, a Lesson in Overcoming Adversity
À medida que as Olimpíadas se aproximam, uma lição sobre como superar a adversidade
Bert R. Mandelbaum, MD
July 20, 2016
I've known a lot of athletes who qualified for the Olympic Games, ______ injuries. But I know of only one who qualified because of an injury.
Conheci muitos atletas que se classificaram para os Jogos Olímpicos, ______ lesões. Mas conheço apenas um que se classificou por causa de uma lesão.
Cliff Meidl’s story captures the spirit of the Olympics.
A história de Cliff Meidl captura o espírito das Olimpíadas.
In November 1986, Cliff, a 20-year-old plumber's apprentice, hit three buried high-voltage electrical cables with a jackhammer. An estimated 30,000 volts surged through his body, exploding bone and cartilage from the inside ail the way up to his head. To put that into perspective, electric chairs use only 1500-2000 volts for executions. So it's safe to say that Cliff should have died.
Em novembro de 1986, Cliff, um aprendiz de encanador de 20 anos, atingiu três cabos elétricos de alta voltagem enterrados com uma britadeira. Estima-se que 30.000 volts passaram por seu corpo, explodindo ossos e cartilagens de dentro até sua cabeça. Para colocar isso em perspectiva, cadeiras elétricas usam apenas 1500-2000 volts para execuções. Então é seguro dizer que Cliff deveria ter morrido.
And he nearly did. His heart stopped. Paramedics were able to get it going again, but they had to resuscitate him on the way to the hospital.
E ele quase fez isso. Seu coração parou. Os paramédicos conseguiram fazê-lo funcionar novamente, mas tiveram que ressuscitá-lo no caminho para o hospital.
As part of a team with renowned plastic surgeon Malcolm Lesavoy, MD, and others, I got to work reconstructing Cliffs legs. Our best hope was to avoid amputation.
Como parte de uma equipe com o renomado cirurgião plástico Malcolm Lesavoy, MD, e outros, comecei a trabalhar na reconstrução das pernas de Cliff. Nossa melhor esperança era evitar a amputação.
But very quickly, we noticed something else going on - something that had nothing to do with our expertise. Through every step of his painful rehabilitation, Cliff grew more and more determined. He never complained. He just asked, "What's next?"
Mas muito rapidamente, notamos algo mais acontecendo - algo que não tinha nada a ver com nossa expertise. A cada passo de sua dolorosa reabilitação, Cliff se tornou mais e mais determinado. Ele nunca reclamou. Ele apenas perguntou: "O que vem depois?"
Before he had even finished the rehabilitation, Cliff started paddling various watercrafts. The days spent on crutches had already strengthened his upper body, and he took naturally to the sport. The same year in which he was injured, he began competing in canoe and kayak events, and in 1996 he qualified for the Olympics - not the Paralympic Games, the Olympic Games.
Antes mesmo de terminar a reabilitação, Cliff começou a remar em várias embarcações. Os dias passados em muletas já haviam fortalecido a parte superior do seu corpo, e ele se adaptou naturalmente ao esporte. No mesmo ano em que se machucou, ele começou a competir em eventos de canoa e caiaque, e em 1996 se classificou para as Olimpíadas - não os Jogos Paralímpicos, os Jogos Olímpicos.
Four years later, in Sydney, Australia, I was overseeing the sports medicine team at the Olympic soccer tournament. I was sitting in the stands during the opening ceremonies when Cliff walked into the Olympic Stadium carrying the Stars and Stripes.
Quatro anos depois, em Sydney, Austrália, eu estava supervisionando a equipe de medicina esportiva no torneio olímpico de futebol. Eu estava sentado nas arquibancadas durante as cerimônias de abertura quando Cliff entrou no Estádio Olímpico carregando a bandeira dos Estados Unidos.
It's a long-standing tradition for delegations of athletes to select one among their number to bear the flag, and the choice often symbolizes some extraordinary accomplishment. I had no idea that Cliff would be selected. So when he strode into the stadium with a normal gait, I nearly broke down.
É uma tradição de longa data para delegações de atletas selecionarem um entre eles para carregar a bandeira, e a escolha frequentemente simboliza alguma realização extraordinária. Eu não tinha ideia de que Cliff seria selecionado. Então, quando ele entrou no estádio com um andar normal, eu quase desmoronei.
Moments like that reinforce what I have always believed: that sport can bring out the best in us all.
Momentos como esse reforçam o que sempre acreditei: que o esporte pode trazer à tona o que há de melhor em todos nós.
The Olympic Games (...) are devoted to celebrating the human capacity to improve body, mind, and soul.
Os Jogos Olímpicos (...) são dedicados a celebrar a capacidade humana de melhorar o corpo, a mente e a alma.
They are about taking part - not necessarily about winning. Cliffs peers in the US delegation of 2000 recognized that when they elected him to bear the nation's colors. He never won a medal at the games, but the spirit with which he overcame adversity inspired all of them.
Eles são sobre participar - não necessariamente sobre vencer. Os colegas de Cliffs na delegação dos EUA de 2000 reconheceram isso quando o elegeram para carregar as cores da nação. Ele nunca ganhou uma medalha nos jogos, mas o espírito com o qual ele superou a adversidade inspirou todos eles.
The Olympic motto - faster, higher, stronger - can help our patients realize that the real victory is the "win within." The Win Within: Capturing Your Victorious Spirit is the name of the book I wrote to show people that coming back from adversity is part of our heritage - that we as human beings are more adapted to adversity than we are to success.
O lema olímpico - mais rápido, mais alto, mais forte - pode ajudar nossos pacientes a perceber que a verdadeira vitória é a "vitória interior". The Win Within: Capturing Your Victorious Spirit é o nome do livro que escrevi para mostrar às pessoas que se recuperar da adversidade faz parte da nossa herança - que nós, como seres humanos, somos mais adaptados à adversidade do que ao sucesso.
Adversity is the engine of unimagined opportunity. It can unleash our energy and stimulate our will. It moves us to succeed. If I don’t have food, I have to go get some. If I’m cold, I have to build a shelter.
A adversidade é o motor de oportunidades inimagináveis. Ela pode liberar nossa energia e estimular nossa vontade. Ela nos move para o sucesso. Se não tenho comida, tenho que ir buscar. Se estou com frio, tenho que construir um abrigo.
I remind patients who don't participate in sports that they have the heritage of athletes. We all have the genes of pursuit-hunters who survived by running down their prey and running away from their predators. That's why even now, in 2016, when we go out and take a run, we feel good. We get an endorphin surge and our lipids go down. Our hearts and brains become clear.
Lembro aos pacientes que não participam de esportes que eles têm a herança de atletas. Todos nós temos os genes de caçadores de perseguição que sobreviveram correndo atrás de suas presas e fugindo de seus predadores. É por isso que mesmo agora, em 2016, quando saímos e corremos, nos sentimos bem. Temos um pico de endorfina e nossos lipídios diminuem. Nossos corações e cérebros ficam limpos.
The life of sport and sport of life are interlinked. Exercise is our birthright; it's our legacy; it's why we are here.
A vida do esporte e o esporte da vida estão interligados. O exercício é nosso direito de nascença; é nosso legado; é por isso que estamos aqui.
We no longer have to fear saber-toothed tigers or cave bears. But when you look today at how people can be successful in 2016, it's by avoiding the predators in our urban life: overeating, inactivity, and smoking. And it's by rising to meet adversity.
Não precisamos mais temer tigres dentes-de-sabre ou ursos das cavernas. Mas quando você olha hoje para como as pessoas podem ter sucesso em 2016, é evitando os predadores em nossa vida urbana: comer demais, inatividade e fumar. E é se levantando para enfrentar a adversidade.
