桃園市私立喜兒幼兒園

美國華德福畢業生調查報告(上) 

譯 / 黃雪芳、黃廣祥

編按： 今年的喜兒畢業班有三分之一的孩子將上華德福小學，喜兒支持任何對孩子好的教育。華德福學校雖起源於德國，目前很多國家都有以華德福教育的學校，從幼稚園、小學到國中、高中；台灣在宜蘭、桃園、新竹、台北、台中以及最近雲林都有設立：有的是幼兒園，有的是小學，宜蘭的華德福已成立高中部。以下調查報告取自北美華德福學校協會一篇報告的Powerpoint版，原報告厚達171頁。報告內容為調查華德福學生高中畢業後個人的進修深造、工作行業、人生態度以及別人對他們的評價；受訪者共有526位來自美國27校的華德福畢業生。

       喜兒感謝雨璇媽媽的幫忙翻譯，沒有她的協助我們不知道何時才把中文內容分享給家長；英文部份是從原文Powerpoint轉成Word檔，在英、中對照下，若家長發現有更好的詞彙讓閱讀起來更通順(在不影響原文精神下)，雨璇媽媽和「叔叔」歡迎大家加入翻譯行列。由於部落格篇幅限制，只好分成數篇刊出。
