last december, we said goodbye to a great man. a great man, but a typical boilermaker. in his 94 years, fred fehsenfeld built a series of businesses that employed and enriched thousands of people around indiana and the world. a model for what we now call lifelong learning, he was always on top of the latest technology, always conceiving large new projects and looking far into a future he could not possibly live to see. and modest about his achievements every step of the way.

he almost didn’t get the chance to do any of that. on his 18th birthday, in 1942, he left his freshman dorm room in cary hall and enlisted in the army. he flew 86 missions over europe with a storied unit in which almost half his fellow pilots were killed in action.

in an oral history of his experiences, fred told of his first close-air dogfight combat. he was low to the ground, with bullets everywhere, and death perhaps an instant away. the interviewer asked, "what were you thinking at a moment like that?" fred answered, "i was thinking, i finally got a chance to make some german pay for yanking me out of purdue university." he survived the war, came back, still younger than most of you, to finish his m.e. degree and lead a life of ep.9136.com/1wplishment.

rich parent, poor parent

david brooks writes today that there are large class differences in parenting styles. these different parent styles may explain the continued success of the upper class. hey, this fits in very well into the parenting theme week at 11d. thanks, davey. (and thanks, jeremy, for the early morning e-mail.)

david picks up on the work of annette lareau who finds that although working class children are more innocent and enjoy more freedom, they havent been prepared for economic success as well as upper class kids. (i have copied the whole article below the flap. take that, times select)

the funny thing about academics is that although they are highly educated, they are poorly paid. they are socio-economic anomalies. they either reside as the poor shlubs in wealthy neighborhoods or as the weirdoes in working class towns. we’ve been the class outsiders for my whole life, and i’ve had the chance to observe both life styles closely.

there are huge differences between the parenting styles between the upper and working class families. poor families respond less quickly to learning problems and are less aggressive with the school bureaucracy. they are less likely to verbally interact with their kids. they are less involved in homework activities. middle and upper class parents are more likely to reward independent thinking. all those factors will definitely impact on their kids’ futures.

but i hope that brooks and his pet academic aren’t insinuating that parenting styles alone impact on a child’s economic success. way too many other factors there. poor families are also likely to live in towns with poorer schools. peers will be more troubled. the poor families will be coping with a variety of problems that make it hard to be good parents – financial stress, drug and alcohol problems, lack of health care, depression. and really smart kids can in many instances over come all that and succeed, though even the smart ones still face obstacles. i would love to know if the researchers controlled for all that.

these parenting differences also don’t negate our obligation to helping these groups reach their potential.

that said, i’m sure that parenting styles are one factor among many that determine a child’s socio-economic future. my kid is already on such a different path from some of his buddies from school. at six years old, their futures are already written on their faces.

what i would like to do is to take the best parts of both parenting practices. somehow combine the respect for adults, the freedom, and the innocence of working class homes with the value for education, the aggressive independence, and confidence of the upper class. it’s a tricky line to navigate, but that’s what i’m going for.

dear teachers and students

hello everyone!

the years are in a hurry, and the flowers are blooming and falling. in a twinkling of an eye, the words of six years of primary school students have passed like clouds. however, my heart is still very attached to my alma mater. after six years of primary school life, i can usher in a strange school gate.

here, many memories are clearly reflected in my mind. from the first day of the first grade, i came to this mysterious and strange campus. day by day in the past, the blink of an eye to the second grade. once, my friends and i were chasing each other on the playground. we were very happy. without waiting to be happy, a sudden pain happened to me. there was a classmate who stretched out his foot, but at that time i was still completely immersed in the game. one of them didn't pay attention and was knocked down. but because of my confusion, half of my face fell out of blood, just like the face was destroyed. at that time, the players were stunned and dull for two seconds before they realized that i was wrestling. some of my friends wipe my face with paper towel while walking, while others hold me, showing great concern and anxiety in their eyes. at that time, my tears have been spinning in my eyes, moving tears have been flowing down.

i still remember that when i held the sports meeting, i chose two events, both of which were running, but i was just making trouble. i ran the 100 meter race first, and i came last. i was very discouraged, but the teacher came to comfort me and encouraged me all the time. one day later, it was my 200 meter run, and i was the last runner. the teacher not only didn't say that i was useless, but also encouraged me all the time, saying that you will get good results in the next race. i also want to get good grades very much. i'm born without motor cells. no matter how i practice, i can't even get up. in sports, i may be a dou that i can't help.

goodbye, dear alma mater, the past events in your arms are still fresh in my mind. they are the shining pearls in our memory warehouse; in your arms, we become sensible from ignorance; in your arms, we grow from childish to mature; in your arms, we have changed from timidity to bravery. dear students, please remember that we are together bit by bit, day and night, let our friendship last forever.

dear faculty members, distinguished guests, families, friends and most importantly, today’s graduates. thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak to you here on behalf of the graduates. this is a memorable day both in our personal lives and in the life of this school.

four years ago, we entered sanjing university. some of us may have doubted that if we had made the right decision, but now, because of the friends we made , because of the sadness and happiness we shared, because of the teachers who gave us guidance, because of all the time in sanjiang we spent and all activities we participated in, we could not tear ourselves away from the dear campus. it’s difficult to contemplate that perhaps some of us may never see each other again. but we have so rich memeries and experiences that we will never foget each other.

today we enter the real world to face the challenge .with the knowledge and friends we gained from our university, with the endurance, perseverance, industry we possess, every obstacle that we may encounter in our lives will be overcome. i believe that everyone will make every effort to strive for our life. and remember, an ideal job is not found lying in the street;

it takes time and effort to find. but in the end, it will be there for you. so don’t settle for second best and keep looking.

importantly, we are here today to give our thanks to the unconditional support of each of you, your words of encouragement in good times and your words of consolation in difficult moments. we thank you for your enormous patience with us, for always giving a little more than we asked for and for instilling in us the values and principles that govern our lives now and helping us to become the people we are. the degree that we will receive today also belongs to you.

last, i would like to congratulate each of you for having reached this goal. we did it, and now we are ready to graduate!
