"Students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively."

In the history of science and society, it's the skepticism that brings about innovation and reforms to us and consequently prompt the advancement of science and society. The students, who will play a main role in the future society, a more complex and rapid-increasing society, can survive and make contributions only by being skeptical about what they are taught in school now. So I strongly agree with the speaker's view that student should question what they are taught instead accepting it passively.

The ultimate goal of education is not forcing the students to remember the knowledge but the ability to make new contributions to both science and society, accept new ideas and adapt to new environment which can bring no bad to them. For example, if one student wants to prove part of the contents which the teacher has taught him wrong, he must think deeply about the idea by himself and communicate his/her opinion with his classmates and other teachers or even find useful data in library or on Internet. During such process, the student can deepen his understanding of the knowledge, develop his ability of cooperation with others and learn to collect and pick out evidence that support his own ideas, all of which cannot be taught by the teachers in classroom. Besides, in some certain courses much knowledge in textbooks is out of date, which means they cannot be applied to explain new phenomenon and solve new problems we encounter today, so we must abandon them and try to find new theories and methods. So, according to the ultimate goal of education and the benefits the students can get from skepticism, there is no denying that questioning what they are taught can exert consequential and long-term effects on the students.

On the other hand, the people who are students now will take various occupations after their graduation, like scientists, managers, politicians, etc. When they are at school, if all what they learn is the knowledge their teachers taught them including out-dated approaches and great deal of mathematical equations, they will find they can't handle their new job and solve practical problems. For example, if a scientist wants to make a breakthrough, he must firstly know exactly the traditional opinions, test whether they are reasonable and feasible and then put forward his own views or theories during which he must be skeptical about the accepted ideas and test the correctness in various ways. In political area, the measures to solve one serious social problem are not unique and a politician must take into account the whole situations which include economy, culture, laws, the rights of the masses and so forth. This is much more complex than the most difficult examination they have ever taken. I can hardly imagine the graduate who has
learned nothing in school but the knowledge in textbooks can find effective solutions.

To sum up, skepticism during learning at school can cultivate the ability that the teachers can't teach us and can help us cope with the troubles we meet and make great discoveries in science. Otherwise, we are just the examination machines which are of no use to the society.
