Dear All NWCS Fellow Members;
Dear All Parents, Teachers, and Students;
各位家长、各位老师；
亲爱的同学们；
大家好！
相信大家都度过了一个轻松愉快的周末，尤其是五年级以下的小同学们，因为他们不用为准备下周六（11/19/2011）《中华文化知识竞赛》和紧接着的《数学竞赛》而用功、复习。趁着11/12/11这个周六无课，让学生们睡个懒觉，同时，我们也以身作则地偷了个懒。因此，也没有发本周的WEEKLY，很抱歉，让期待的家长们失望了。但是，我们对家长们老师们的那份尊敬，对学生们的那份关爱和对西北的那份责任是有增无减的。
We are sure all of you have had a wonderful NO-SCHOOL weekend, especially those of fifth graders and under, for they have no pressure at all for the coming AMC8 & CHINESE CULTURE CONREST, which all others of 6th to 12th have to take this opportunity to review. Working for an educational institution, one of the privileges is the occasional breaks in between school days. While encouraging our kids to sleep in and relax with more play, we skipped the WEEKLY for the week. We are sorry to make those who expect disappointed. Yet, what we do not make you so is our respect to all NWCS fellow members, our love to all our students and the responsibility to our school.

2. AMC8西北中文学校数学竞赛 NWCS AMC 8
Time 12:00-1:00pm
Classroom: 2104, 2109 & 2110.
我校一年一度的 AMC8 也将在本周六（11/19/2011）举行，相信会有不少同学在同一天内会有两场考试。辛苦啦。考试已经成为除蕞茸小国芬兰之外大多数国家现代基础教育的有机组成部分，尽管我们的理念是：与其看重考试分数，我们更重视基本功。考试仅是巩固知识的手段之一。
As an annual event, NWCS is going to host AMC 8 on Nov.19, 2011, between 12:00-1:00pm at NHS main campus. We are sure there are many students who will have two exams at the same date, one after another. Although our doctrine is ability-oriented, not exam-oriented, we have to commit that testing/examination has become part of the basic education of our modern times, with only one nation as an exception-Finland. There are no mandatory tests or exams; except for the nationwide National Matriculation Examination, in mother tongue, foreign language, mathematics and social/natural sciences, at the end of the upper-secondary school (from 17~19 of age). Teachers make their own assessment tests, not quoting numeric grades, but using descriptive feedback, no longer comparing students with one another. This helped teachers and students focusing on learning in a fear-free environment, in which creativity and risk-taking are encouraged. Teachers have more real freedom in time planning when they do not need have to focus on annual tests or exams. For details, please Google: What makes education in Finland that good?
