She had more spirit in her countenance than she had had for months, because now she had hope; of a sad enough kind, to be sure, but still it was hope. She performed all her household duties, strange and complicated as they were, and bewildered as she was with all the town necessities of her new manner of life; but when her house was "sided," and the boys come home from their work in the evening, she would put on her things and steal out, unnoticed, as she thought, but not without many a heavy sigh from Will, after she had closed the house-door and departed. It was often past midnight before she came back, pale and weary, with almost a guilty look upon her face; but that face so full of disappointment and hope deferred, that Will had never the heart to say what he thought of the folly and hopelessness of the search. Night after night it was renewed, till days grew to weeks, and weeks to months. All this time Will did his duty towards her as well as he could, without having sympathy with her. He stayed at home in the evenings for Tom's sake, and often wished he had Tom's pleasure in reading, for the time hung heavy on his hands as he sat up for his mother.

办学生喜欢的学校：让教育回归本原的探索
什么样的教育是好的教育？什么样的学校是好的学校？对这些问题的回答可能会见仁见智。上海市黄浦区针对教育时弊，拨开重重迷雾，提出“办学生喜欢的学校”这一朴素的命题，展开让教育回归本原的探索。本书就是这次探索的初步经验总结。全书共分“观点”、“调研”、“策略”和“实践”四大部分，主要从课程构建、课堂改革、教师队伍建设与校园环境优化等方面介绍了他们基于学生、为了学生的思考与做法，既有理性思辨，又有实践探索。教育改革是一个系统工程，不是一朝一夕所能完成的。但它需要一个突破口，本书就是以“学生喜欢”这个核心问题作为突破口进行的一次有益的探索。希望以此为契机，引发教育界对这一问题做更深入的思考。
