讨论前观点：同意
正一.Skepticism具有很多优点。1.有利于创新，如哥白尼质疑地心说，发现日心说(好像段子太老了）2.是有利于发现错误；如举一个名人的例子；有怀疑才能有进步
正二.对于学生，学生应当带有怀疑精神来学习。因为老师不可能永远不犯错误，而当老师犯错误的时候，学生只有持有怀疑态度才能发现错误，才能更好的进步
正三.不适当或者过度的质疑也是有害的。首先，学生应该信任老师，这样他们才能接受和学到知识；
讨论后观点：
按背景去分。分层级：小学生，做基础的训练，没有

中学生，有一定的能力，中学阶段所学的知识没什么可质疑的，主要是textbook，太多的质疑可能会分散经历。

大学生比较，前沿的问题，接触到不同学派之间，可以去质疑。
Memo:提出自己的问题。可以提出思想实验， 82issue.

TS (pt1, pt2, pt3): The topic which pedagogy is the most efficacious one always attracts the public attention and often is in heated discussion. Some suggest that those learners should suspect the knowledge that they are faced with all the time and a myriad of people champion this advice. In fact, this statement outlines a scenario which is common in some, especially the most enlightening higher educational institutions, yet the hasty application of the credo embodied in the claim to the middle school students or even the primary ones will result in nothing but chaos in the classroom. What is more, to actively learn knowledge entails apposite methods of questioning it, and suspecting everything indiscriminately is likely to do more harm than good to the students.

The topic which pedagogy is the most efficacious one always attracts the public attention and often is in heated discussion.   
this sentence is problematic in structure. Please rewrite.
suspect the knowledge- inappropriate collocation
primary ones- inappropriate expression

Your thesis statement does not follow the 1+3 model. I expect three points that are clearly stated in your TS.  



ts (pt1): First of all, to question the received information is the most efficacious way to innovate in relevant field for the college students, who have laid the solid intellectual foundation in their early life.   大学生已经储备了相当多的知识，并且形成了自己的知识框架，在此基础上，如果他们再一味死记硬背老师所教的知识，那就难免陷入缺乏创新的窘境。对比一味强调尊重权威的中国大陆的高等教育，和提倡质疑所学知识的英美高校，在过去的数十多年中所经培养出的人才和科研成果数量、质量，我们不难发现，题目中所言有其一定的道理。


ts (pt2): With respect to these innocent and ignorant young minds in high schools or primary ones, suspecting their teachers or tutors is not an optimal option to promote their knowledge level.中小学生本就缺乏知识积累，而且自制力较差，因此在中小学他们主要接受两个方面的训练：一是积累基础知识，二是锻炼自制能力。倘若在这个阶段就大吹特吹质疑权威，无疑会干扰必要知识的积累和自制力的培养。从这个方面来讲，题目中的观点未免走向了极端，有以偏概全之嫌。



ts (pt3): Furthermore, even though in many universities the attendees are encouraged to adopt means like “critical thinking” to construct their own knowledge framework, this does not mean that the student can utilize any argument, even nonsense, to criticize the opinions in their textbooks.质疑是要讲究方法的，唯有合乎科学规律，建立在严密的逻辑基础和有稳固的现实证据的批判，才能推动社会的进步，反之，则会贻害无穷。即便是推崇“critical thinking”的英美高校，虽然希望自己的学生能建立新学说，推翻旧体系，但老师反复强调质疑权威一不能靠主观臆断，二不能靠强词夺理，而要凭借日积月累的数据观测，和缜密的逻辑推理以及数据分析。反观中国六七十年代的cultural revolution 当中，学生出身的Red Guards把自己的老师捉来批斗，也算是质疑所学的巅峰了。可结果呢，社会并未进步，还差点崩溃，这不得不让意欲运用题目中所述原理的人引以为戒。  


Your first and third points are about college students and second point is on elementary and secondary schools; I do not understand why you organise your essay this way. maybe you want to first talk about primary school, then middle school and finally college.

Plus, your first point and third point may contradict with one another; so you have to be careful here.

I don't think you are ready to write a full essay for this issue yet. please revise your outline first.

王老师，根据您的指点，学生修改了提纲。如果合格，请明示，我好写全文。谢谢！

TS (pt1, pt2, pt3): The topic about how to most efficaciously learn new knowledge always attracts the public attention and often is in heated discussion. Some suggest that those learners should doubt the information that they are faced with all the time and a myriad of people champion this advice. In fact, the hasty application of the credo embodied in the claim to the middle school students or even the primary ones will result in nothing but chaos in the classroom, since this statement outlines a scenario which is common merely in higher educational institutions, especially the most enlightening ones.

ts (pt1): First of all, those innocent and ignorant young minds in primary schools lack basic knowledge and thinking capacities, so suspecting their teachers or tutors is not an optimal option to promote their intellectual level.小学生本就缺乏知识积累，而且思维能力较差，因此在中小学他们主要接受两个方面的训练：一是积累基础知识，二是锻炼思维能力。倘若在这个阶段就大吹特吹质疑权威，无疑会干扰必要知识的积累和思维能力的培养。从这个方面来讲，题目中的观点未免走向了极端，有以偏概全之嫌。

ts (pt2): With respect to middle school students, they have accumulates certain knowledge and formed their own mode of considering the academic issues around them, yet the information that they should learn at this stage is still foundational and deserve little doubt. 中学生虽然具备了一定的基础知识和思维能力，但中学阶段所学的知识是经过许多年检验的、基础性的、缺乏争议的，也不需太多质疑。虽然有些学校在这个时候已经开设了创造性学习项目，但其规模很小，更谈不上题目所说的always。

ts (pt3): Finally, to question the received information is the most efficacious way to innovate in relevant field for the college students, who have laid the solid intellectual foundation and have fostered strong critical faculties in their early life.   大学生已经储备了相当多的知识，并且形成了自己的批判思维方式，在此基础上，如果他们再一味死记硬背老师所教的知识，那就难免陷入缺乏创新的窘境。对比一味强调尊重权威的中国大陆的高等教育，和提倡质疑所学知识的英美高校，在过去的数十多年中所经培养出的人才和科研成果数量、质量，我们不难发现，题目中所言有其一定的道理。
