Issue 153
"Students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively."

提纲：
关于应该鼓励学生怀疑，还是相反，社会上有争论。我承认合理的怀疑有利于学生形成独立的判断能力，但过分的，不合理的怀疑可能会使结果违背初衷。
1.     要获得对事物的独立见解，必须进行怀疑。因为只有在进行怀疑之后，才能对进一步地思考问题，然后将自己思考的结果说出来跟别人讨论，并最终使自己对事物的看法更加全面。
2.      没有怀疑的学习，会导致学生只会重复别人的观点，而没有自己的见解。
3.      老师在讲课过程中偶尔会犯一些错误。这时，学生对此进行的合理的怀疑，可以避免学习到错误的知识，同时使学生对知识的掌握更加牢固。
4.      对所学知识的合理怀疑，应该是以最基本的原理和价值理念为基础的。而不是对所学的任何知识进行盲目的怀疑。一个合格的学生，应该通过自己的思考来决定支持或反对某事物，这才是独立的判断能力的体现。
总的来说，基于最基本的原理和价值理念的怀疑，是有利于社会发展的，应该在教育中提倡。但同时也应该防止学生在对事物的怀疑上过度，所以社会，学校，老师都有责任给予引导。

There is a public controversy over the issue of whether students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. I agree that skepticisms based on the basic principles are advantageous to the promotion of students’ ability on judgment. However, excessive skepticism might defeat such a purpose.

To acquire the ability on judgment, a person should try to doubt something unreasonable, at least unreasonable to him. For a student, only after doubting, can he deliberate the thing he questioned, and then attain a more reasonable opinion-at least to him-about it. He may hold the opinion without saying out. But, if he likes discussion as well, he will discuss or debate with others, who may agree with this particular thing, or hold another objective opinion about it. By exchanging their own ideas and thus making their ideas more comprehensive, they will quite possibly benefit from the discussion or debate.

Considering a student, who accept anything simply and passively, can he attain the ability on judgment? Hardly can he do, because judgment ability calls for carefully thinking on several aspects of a thing, and what we are taught from teachers, are usually about a single aspect. To understand more comprehensive, everybody need to doubt and then think more. A person who is lazy in thinking, will finally find that he has learnt nothing essential but a series of facts and opinions copied from others, not to mention his promotion of judgment ability.

Teachers, even those experiencing ones, may commit some fallacies on their classrooms sometime. In this condition, accepting without any skepticism might bring an illusion to students. But, if someone oppose what the teacher claim according to the contrary between the teacher’s assertion and the basic principle, and then give another explanation conforming better to the basic principle, such teaching errors may be avoided. Students’ understanding on knowledge, could be more insightful as well.

On one hand, students should be encouraged to doubt. On the other hand, any skepticism should base on a principle, including the theorems in particular subjects and the moral and value principle. Without the basic principle, skepticisms may beyond normal limits, or even turn to extreme. A student excellent in judging, should make decision after his own consideration, not just oppose what he learns for skepticism itself.

In sum, skepticisms based on basic principles, are usually advantageous to students’ study, and should be advocated in education. Since it should be took in a moderate way, society, schools and teachers should endeavor to guide students together.
