    In the spring of 2012,I moved to the San Francisco bay area with my wife and two young sons.

    I tried to get hold of one of my old Nokia cellphones,but they were no longer available.

I remember the exact moment when I realized something important had happened. I was on my bike,cycling to Stanford,and it struck me that a week had gone by without having a phone. And everything was just fine. Better than fine,actually. I felt more carefree and happier. That was in September 2012. I have been phone-free since then.

   Here are the most common questions people ask when they find it out. “How do people get hold of you?” Er,they have my online mail address. I still have a laptop,and use it most days. It even works when r'm  away from my house or office.

   “What if something happened t? your children?” This one always strikes me. My children are eight and four. They are with a responsible adult at all times. I love them more than I could ever say and I love spending time with them but really,why do I need to keep in touch with them every minute of the day? If something happens,there will be always someone there to take care of them. 

   Then there's my company: “How can you be a tech CEO without using a phone?” I do always borrow phones to see how our new products work on mobile.

   “It was a horrible situation,” said Theresa Benz. uPrincipal (校长.) Susan Jordan pushed two students out of the path of a school bus just before it struck and killed her. She's most certainly a hero."

   To Benz,whose sons attended Amy Beverland Elementary School,and many others,it came as no surprise that the Indiana principal acted selflessly to protect the lives of her students.

   Jordan died around 2:45 p.m. after a school bus suddenly sped up from a stopped position in the school parking lot,hitting and running her over. Two students,both aged 10,were also hit. But they were safe in the hospital.

   “We’ re thinking it's nothing more than an unfortunate accident,” said Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Sgt. Kendale Adams. “The bus driver said that she didn t  know why the bus sped up. But just before the crash she saw Jordan push two students out of the way. Up until the very end of her life,she was doing what she did,which was protecting the kids. She was so heroic."

   Jordan, *69,was principal of the school for 22 years and was referred to as a “legend” because of her great leadership and devotion.

   Wendy Osborne,whose kids attended the school several years ago,said Jordan wasn't one to stay in her office. Instead,she walked through the halls greeting students and spent many hours tending to the kids.

   One of Benz’s  sons,Adam,9, said that Jordan called him to the office recently,not because of a problem,but because she just wanted to celebrate his birthday and give him a card and a pencil.

  “She’ 11 always be my friend ,” he said, “even though she lives far away in heaven now."

    The U.S. high school rate (辍学率) has fallen in recent years,with the number of dropouts decreased from 1 million in 2008 to about 750,000 in 2012,according to a study. The number of dropout factories”,high schools in which fewer than 60% of freshmen graduate in four years,decreased greatly during the same period.

   “Clear progress is being made,” said Bob Wise,a former West Virginia governor. “it's not a total success yet. So we shou?dn’ t,take a victory iap. But we can at least st?rt warming up."

    Education Secretary Ame Duncan has said the improving graduation rate serves as evidence that the nation's public schools are making progress. But there* re many reasons that graduation rates can rise. And not all of the reasons have to do with stronger schools preparing more students for life after high school.

    Alabama,for example,made great progress in 2014. Its graduation rate jumped more than six percentage points,the second-biggest increase in the nation. But the increase agreed with a policy change that took in the same year: Alabama students no longer had to pass ? high school exit exam to earn a diploma  (毕业文凭) .

   It also isn’ t  clear how many students are graduating with the skills they need for the workplace or for college. Graduation requirements vary widely across states,and many states offer different levels of diplomas with different requirements.

    Arizona students can earn a standard diploma that requires four courses in math,four in English and three in science. But they also can earn a “Grand Canyon” diploma,which requires just two courses each in math,science and English — less than many colleges’ requ?ement for admission.
