Main Teaching Activities and Time Allocation 主要教学活动和时间分配
Greeting and Check-in: Teacher asked about student's well-being after being sick; student mentioned feeling better.
问候与近况回顾： 老师询问学生生病后的身体状况；学生表示感觉好多了。
School Economics Discussion Review (China/WTO Status): Student described their class debate on whether China should be classified as a developing or developed country following its announcement to abandon the developing status at the WTO, discussing reasons (US pressure, GDP vs. GDP per capita differences).
学校经济学讨论回顾（中国/WTO地位）： 学生描述了他们班级关于中国宣布放弃WTO发展中国家地位的辩论，讨论了原因（美国压力、总体GDP与人均GDP的差异）。
Exploring Benefits of Developing Status: Teacher prompted discussion on the benefits China forfeits (e.g., lower tariffs, protectionism for infant industries, less pressure on climate change commitments).
探讨发展中国家地位的利益： 老师引导讨论中国放弃的利益（例如，较低的关税、对幼稚产业的保护主义、气候变化承诺的压力较小）。
Gini Index Explanation and Application (North Korea Case): Student explained the Gini Index (scale 0 to 1, 0=equal, 1=unequal). Discussion shifted to the extreme case of North Korea and the unreliability of its economic statistics.
基尼系数解释与应用（朝鲜案例）： 学生解释了基尼系数（0到1的量表，0为平等，1为不平等）。讨论转向朝鲜的极端案例以及其经济统计数据不可靠性。
Compound Interest and Development Trajectories: Teacher used numerical examples (South Korea vs. China, 30 vs. 60 years) to illustrate the massive impact of compound interest (even a 1% difference in annual growth rate) over long periods, linking it to why earlier development matters.
复利与发展轨迹： 老师通过数值示例（韩国与中国，30年 vs. 60年）说明复利（即使年增长率只有1%的差异）在长期内产生的巨大影响，并将其与更早发展的重要性联系起来。
Philosophical View on Inequality (Pie Analogy): Teacher presented the 'slice of the pie' analogy to contrast focusing on relative share (inequality) vs. absolute economic well-being ('A rising tide lifts all boats').
关于不平等的哲学观点（馅饼类比）： 老师提出了“馅饼”类比，以对比关注相对份额（不平等）与关注绝对经济福祉（“水涨船高”）的观点。
Wrap-up and Next Steps: Teacher assigned homework to review Gini coefficient graphs for the next session.
总结与后续步骤： 老师布置了作业，要求学生预习基尼系数的图表计算方法。
