Question

【題目】Michael Rossi is the Internet favorite Dad right now.

Mr. Rossi, a father from Philadelphia, recently took his kids, Jack and Victoria, to Boston for three days during the school term. But Rydal Elementary School, one of the oldest schools in Boston, doesn’t accept family holidays as an excuse for their absence and give them a warming notice. So Mr. Rossi wrote a letter to the school, which has been shared by thousands of parents online.

Dear Mrs. Marbyry,

While I am thankful for your concern for our children and the best education our kids receive from you, I can promise you they’ve learned as much in the three days we were in Boston as they would in a whole year in school.

Although they missed an important test, they learned about something more important for them, especially for their future.

They experienced first –hand the love and support form thousands of other people with a common goal. At the marathon(馬拉松) , which is known as the most difficult one in the world, they watched runners with disabilities work together to collect money for children in poor areas.

In addition, our children walked the Freedom Trail, visited the site of the Boston Tea Party and the graves of several great pioneers of America. These are thing they WILL learn in school a year or more from now.

We truly love our school and teachers. But I wouldn’t hesitate (猶豫) to pull them out of school again for an experience like the one they had this time.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Michael Rossi
