我们将探索公平的概念以及拥有优势和劣势之间的权衡。
We’ll explore the concept of fairness and the tradeoffs between having advantages and disadvantages.
我们还将在8月10日开始新增永久的游戏时间，每周六晚上9点至10点、每周日早上8点至9点。
We’ll also open new, permanent Play times (PT) on Saturdays from 6am-7am and 5pm-6pm starting on August 10th.

本周的超球场景是非对称的，这意味着在中场休息时，团队的优势会发生变化。我们这样设计是为了让团队遇到两种相互冲突的力量：1）优势下坡，这使得保持冷静和支持变得更容易；2）劣势上坡，这对团队合作和沟通施加了压力。本周教练将帮助团队分析他们的压力反应。毕竟，生活并不总是容易的，Synthesis也不例外，但我们在压力下的行为是定义我们品格的一部分。
This week’s Hyperball scenarios are asymmetrical, which means the team advantage changes at halftime. We’ve designed it that way so that teams will encounter two conflicting forces: 1) the downhill of advantage, which makes it easier to be calm and supportive; and 2) the uphill of disadvantage, which puts pressure on teamwork and communication. Coaches this week will be helping teams analyze their stress responses. After all, life isn’t always easy, and neither is Synthesis, but how we act under stress is part of what defines our character.

罪有应得 | Punishment Fits the Crime
在我们的成人生活中，我们会遇到类似行为的人面临不同后果的情况——这对我们的孩子来说可能很难解释。然而，公平的概念要求我们仔细考虑“惩罚”与“罪行”的比例关系。本周，学生们将审视这些灰色地带的正义，以深入了解背景和细节如何影响他们对公平的看法。
Hyperball is a game that changes rapidly, and in this week’s Discussion session, students explore change in another domain: their own perspective. The conflict is classic: whether to dam a river in the name of progress, or maintain the valley in the name of tradition. The goal, however, is not to decide right away. Instead, students will hear “testimony” from various stakeholders. The goal will be to keep an open mind, be willing to entertain different perspectives, and withold judgement until all evidence has been received. It’s a worthy habit, not only for Synthesis, but for life in general.
