51. "Education will be truly effective only when it is specifically designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each student."
教育只有被专门设计来满足每一个学生个人需求和兴趣的时候才是真正有效率的。

初看时有道理。但是考虑到现代社会的需要，这是不现实的。只有符合社会现实的教育模式才称得上真正有效率。
1。若教育能够完全按照每一个学生的特点来逐个实行，在古代社会曾经培育出相当数量的精英。西方有苏格拉底，谈话式教学，中国有孔子说，因材施教。现代教育也重视根据学生的兴趣来调动学生的学习热情。
2首先，现在的社会是知识社会，需要大量的知识型的人才，这就要求学校能快速高效地培养大量合格人才。一对一教学是不现实的。这就需要一定的标准化教学。
3其次，现代社会许多岗位要求人们具有标准化的知识配备，这就要求学校对学生教授一些基础性的强制性的课程。学生不能只学自己感兴趣的东西，这样是不可能成为一个称职的工作人。
4再次，教育为整个社会的运转担负输送合格人才的重任，这是评价教育是否有效率的重要标准。而学生单凭自己的兴趣和个人需要来学习，往往会使自己的知识结构产生很大的缺陷，从而无法适应社会的需要。由此教育的效率便受到影响。
总之，学校在教学过程中必须考虑学生的兴趣和个人需求，这样才能调动学生的学习积极性，从而更好的接受知识。但是评价教育是否有效率，主要还应该着眼于社会的发展，着眼于教育对整个社会发展所承担的重大责任。

There is a public controversy nowadays over the issue of whether education will never be effective enough unless it is accurately apt to the individual needs and interests of each student. I agree that teachers should take students' personal interests and their needs into consideration, insofar as students will be eager to learn what has been taught to them. However, it should not become a critical standard for judging the efficiency of an educational system; whereas, the effect of the educational system should be measured by its contribution to the contemporary society.

Admittedly, it is reasonable for teachers to think about students' interests and needs fully, and this teaching idea can even be originated far from the ancient Greek and China. It is well known that Socrates just brought up Plato by talking with him and leading him to study further on his mere interests. And the great Chinese sage Confucius also confirmed the importance of teaching students according to their aptitude. Throughout the history, it is commonplace that teachers instruct their students following their needs and interests more or less; so as in modern times. Now the governments in all the countries widely try hard to arouse the enthusiasm of their youngsters for studying by leading them to develop their own interests. From what I have discussed above, it is clear that let the education keep pace with what the students are interested should never be underestimated.

Conceding that paying great attention to students' needs and interests is a matter of great account in the process of education, I nevertheless disagree that it can be treated as the only standard to measure the effect of an educational system--for three reasons. First of all, as a society based on the application of knowledge, this modern society cries for a large amount of qualified laborers in varied fields who have grasped enough knowledge; as a result, the schools have to educate their students in a significantly rapid speed; or else, they will not meet the development of the society. From this perspective, it is unrealistic for the schools to cultivate the students in a traditional way, meanly, to teach them totally depending on their inclination, for apparently the schools are impossible to afford the substantive fee and the society will certainly be impatient for their low efficiency. On the contrary, it is some kind of standard educational mode that can fulfill the urgent requirement of this society, since it can produce enough competent persons.

In the second place, most of the working positions nowadays ask their applicants to hold certain knowledge and skills; thus, it is explicable that the school must offer some compulsory courses to the students, although some of the young men are just uninterested in it. For instance, if a student aims to be a pilot, but he is only keen on learning how to fly, but nothing else, such as how the airplane works and why it works in this way. It is incredible to imagine that he will be trusted as a qualified pilot if he holds only a part of the necessary knowledge. In a word, school should endure the duty to produce competent persons who can be enrolled into the work once they begin their career.

Furthermore, it is whether the educational system is capable to contribute adequate eligible graduates to meet the demands of the society that should become an important criterion to judge the effect of the educational system. It is common now that many students only learn what they want to attain; however, it will result in a serious consequence that, most of them will be unable to maintain a comprehensive knowledge structure. Thus, not only will the effect of the education be damaged, but these students may also have to face some huge obstacles when they begin to hunt for a job. In conclusion, it is convincing that if the education only meets the interests of the students, but overlooks the needs of the society, it will depart from its biggest duty.

To sum up, in order to arouse the enthusiasm of the students to obtain the necessary knowledge, the schools and the teachers should pay attention to the students' interests and needs when they are making the teaching plans. Nonetheless, what is more important, with an eye to the development of the society, is that the educational system must meet the demands of this society, or else it will never be evaluated as effective enough.

我是michael.

弱问：issue的题目是不是都要反对？可不可以赞同并论证它的正确性?

gift_530UID: 2225197

我认为这个题目的问题在于，到底对谁有效率？

对于学生来说，针对个人的，满足个人需求和兴趣的教育显然是有效率的。不然我们的舆论为什么总在批判当今中国的教育，批判这种不管你想不想学，愿不愿学，你都要学的填鸭式的教学；不然我们为什么要去US,去寻找国外那种小班教学的爽快。兴趣是最好的老师，如果学校开始的课程可以满足不同学生的需要，这对于学生来说，效果无疑是最好的。

而对于学校来说，对于国家来说，这种大课无疑是有效的。这种方式无疑节省了教育经费，教育资源。但这种所谓i的高效率，是建立在学生听课低效率的基础上的。这种高效率是可耻的，是无奈的。

作为学生，你是否有过这样的梦想，学你真正希望学的；你是否有这样的体验，当你兴趣很浓，或很明确地知道某门课程对你的重要性时，你学起来会很轻松，很有效。

为什么写出来的文章会背叛自己的真实想法呢？

There is a public controversy nowadays over the issue of whether education will never be effective enough unless it is accurately apt to the individual needs and interests of each student. I agree that teachers should take students' personal interests and their needs into consideration, insofar as students will be eager to learn what has been taught to them（加上specifically）. However, it should not become a critical standard for judging the efficiency of an educational system; whereas, the effect of the educational system should be measured by its contribution to the contemporary society.(这句立意不错，放在这里似乎不大合适，会误认为是论点)

Admittedly, it is reasonable for teachers to think about students' interests and needs fully（感觉thoroughly好一些，或者都不写）, and this teaching idea can even be originated far from the ancient Greek and China.

And the great Chinese sage Confucius also confirmed the importance of teaching students according to their aptitude.

Now the governments in all the countries widely try hard to arouse the enthusiasm of their youngsters for studying by leading them to develop their own interests. From what I have discussed above, it is clear that（to） let the education keep pace with what the students are interested (in) should never be underestimated.

Conceding that paying great attention to students' needs and interests is a matter of great account in the process of education, I nevertheless disagree that it can be treated as the only standard to measure the effect（感觉用effectiveness好点） of an educational system--for three reasons. First of all, as a society based on the application of knowledge, this modern society (改为it是否更好)cries for a large amount of qualified laborers in varied fields who have grasped enough knowledge; as a result, the schools have to educate their students in a significantly rapid speed; or else, they will not meet the development of the society. From this perspective, it is unrealistic for the（the删去） schools to cultivate the students in a traditional way, meanly, to teach them totally depending on their inclination, for apparently the schools are impossible to afford the substantive fee（costs） and the society will certainly be impatient for their low efficiency.

In a word, school should endure the duty to produce competent persons who can be enrolled into the work once they begin their career.

修改了一下，谢谢小兔这么认真地帮我拍，大家也来啊！！继续帮我挑错哈：）

Admittedly, it is reasonable for teachers to think about students' interests and needs thoroughly, and this teaching idea can even be originated far from the ancient Greek and China. It is well known that Socrates just brought up Plato by talking with him and leading him to study further on his mere interests. And the great Chinese sage Confucius also confirmed the importance of teaching students according to their aptitude.

On the contrary, it is some kind of standard educational mode that can fulfill the urgent requirement of this society, since it can produce enough competent persons.
