33、he reason the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be meetings.“ Thus spoke humorist Dave Barry, and many of us would agree. But it doesnt have to be this way. Some tips for having a good one:Start and end strongly. Running a productive meeting isn
34、t rocket science. As Denver-based consultant Teri Schwartz notes, much of it boils down to opening and conducting every meeting with a purpose and closing it with a plan for “going forward.“ Problems arise when people forget this. “Its like flying a plane,“ says Schwartz. “Most crashes happen at tak
35、eoff and landing.“Pick a leader. Four years ago, Clevelands KeyCorp Bank adopted a new principle: Always assign someone to lead. “The worst thing you can do is go into a meeting with no one in charge,“ says the banks senior EVP and chief risk officer, Charles Hyle. “It turns into a shouting match.“T
36、hink small. Be realistic about what you can accomplish. “You cant solve world hunger in an hour,“ Schwartz says. By the same token, keep the number of attendees manageable to stimulate discussion. “When you have too many people in the room,“ says Hyle, “everyone clams up as if their mouths were seal
37、ed.“Direct, dont dominate. “People hate it when they cant get their work done because they have to go to somebody elses meeting,“ says Columbia Business School professor Michael Feiner. So encourage others to speak up and get involved, especially junior staffers. “They need to believe its not his me
38、eting or her meeting, but our meeting,“ Feiner says.Lay down the rules of engagement. Everyone should understand who will take notes and how decisions will be made. Remember that consensus is typically a bad thing. “It means there isnt enough dialogue or debate,“ says Feiner, “and thats the lifebloo
39、d of any innovative organization.“ Jon Petz, the author of Boring Meetings Suck, suggests assigning follow-up tasks during the final five to ten minutes, then repeating them later in a group e-mail so that theres no confusion.（分数：6.00）(1).In Dave Barrys opinions, meetings _.

Some schools offer extended learning by adding extra time to the school day or increasing the
45、length of the school year. Some states are moving to this type of schedule in an attempt to increase student achievement. Is it worthwhile?Longer days allow for more instruction in core classes, individualized attention and additional tutoring time for struggling students. Schools that switched to l
46、onger days reported significant gains in language arts, math and science. The most notable change was a gain of about 20 percent more proficiency in math from 2006 to 2010. However, the additional time must be accompanied by quality instruction to have an impact.Longer school days also have positive
47、 implications for teachers, allowing for more collaboration with colleagues, planning time and opportunities for on-campus professional development. Some districts that use extended time have raised salaries and increased benefits to compensate teachers for the extra hours.Longer days can also help close the a
