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。

1.让步：interests are the best teachers.
2.education has more obligation to carry out, to educate students into well-rounded citizens.
3.personally, interests are changeable, thus difficult to be satisfied.
4.on societal level, education should spend least money, time and energy to achieve most. It is not effective to place all the eggs in one basket.

11:25-12:35
Education is the basal stone of modern society, through which our children grow up into the backbones of our society. The question is, will education be truly effective only when it is specifically designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each student? While I admit that interests do much to promote studies and discoveries, I believe that education has a much more urgent obligation to educate students into well-rounded citizens than to solely meet their individual needs and interests, on the basis that personal interests are changeable and difficult to be satisfied, therefore not truly effective if education has to take the burden to meet each student's needs.

Admittedly, interests play a key role in promoting inventions and discoveries. "Interests are the best teachers", said Thomas Edison, one of the greatest inventors in human history. Take Edison himself as an example. He began his career as an inventor early in his life, but made no money by his early inventions. However, he did not turn to other profitable jobs, but sticked to his interests. But for his rich interests in making contrivance, human would see much later the appearance of the phonograph, the incandescent lamp and the electric power distribution systems, to name a few. Interests are the internal incentive to dig out one's full potential. If we only work for money or other external motivations, we can scarcely put all our hearts into it. We may easily feel bored and tired. On the contrary, if we work for our interests, we consider the hard work to be fun, hence we will try our best and actually make contributions to the society.

Given the ponderance of interests, some claim that it is education's obligation to fulfill the interests and needs of each student. However I strongly maintain that the most important obligation of education is to cultivate students into eligible citizens to develop our society. Hence education should not only provide students with fundamentals of physical science, social science and humanities, but also morality, courtesy and interpersonal skills. Unless a student manages all the disciplines above, he/she will not be a qualified person to step into the society. Consider a student who is fascinated with math. Should education provide good teachers, useful resources and environment to satisfy his/her interests? I agree insofar as education also can teach the student other fundamentals for his/her survival in the society. If the student is only educated into a math-stuffed head without basic skills to communicate and cooperate with other people, he/she may not contribute to the society at all, since few can accept and understand his/her talented math theories. To cultivate interests and to provide fundamental knowledge of all disciplines are like the two wings of a bird, if they are not well-balanced, the bird cannot fly high in the sky.

Moreover, I disagree the assertion that education specifically designed to meet the individual needs and interests in consideration of two facts. For one thing, personal interests are so changeable with time that they are hard to be satisfied. This reminds me of a high school classmate of mine, who was once obsessed with physics. She invested much in this interests, such as buying books, hiring tutors and attending competitions. However, after graduation from high school, she felt bored with physics and put away all physics books and chose to major in business in college. I do not think the former investment on physics is rather effective. For another thing, on societal level, we cannot afford such large spending to meet each student's interests. As time, money and energy are limited, education should spend the least of them to achieve most. As I previously said, education should offer students all-rounded knowledge and skills. It is not wise to put all eggs in only one basket, that is, education should not be required to solely meet individual needs, in this case.

To sum up, although interests are significant motivations for discoveries and innovations, it should not be education's obligation to meet each student's interests for the reasons that education has much more responsibility to take and education is not effective to only fulfill changeable personal needs and interests given the limited time, energy and resources.

我有一个问题啊
题目说得是effective ，又没有说efficient  
ms这两个是相对的，这样要不要管它？

azaleaUID: 196122

恩!我也发现了!
不过这篇是本着限时的精神写的! 虽然严重超时:L
就没仔细考虑这个问题!
觉得effective还是可以理解成实现教育的目的 这样一个意思
就是说满足每个学生的兴趣就可以有效的达到教育的目的

关于efficient 我倒数第2段有提到这个意思 觉得和effective并不矛盾的
只是侧重点不同

恩恩 这是我自己的想法

大家都发表下意见吧!

整篇文章行文流畅，用身边和Edison的例子也挺贴切的，结构也很好，尤其是用了比较多的表示逻辑关系的词，呵，其他没啥好说的，多向你学习~

foxnononoUID: 2173236

嘿嘿，才疏学浅，只是提几点逻辑上面的问题：
1.第二段讲兴趣可以促进学习，发挥人的潜能。感觉应该把这一点和促进发明发现的顺序换一换，发明发现只是一个例子，不太适合做段首句。
2.也是effective v.s efficient的问题，我觉得这两个确实是不一样的概念，不同之处就在于effective一般不会考虑投入。
至于行文方面，行文流水，一气呵成，我只有眼馋的份，向您学习！

总感觉起来,这段有点飘飘的,和主题有的偏... 和education离太远

Given the ponderance of interests, some claim that it is education's obligation to fulfill the interests and needs of each student. However I strongly maintain that the most important obligation of education is to cultivate students into eligible citizens to develop our society. Hence education should not only provide students with fundamentals of physical science, social science and humanities, but also morality, courtesy and interpersonal skills. Unless a student manages all the disciplines above, he/she will not be a qualified person to step into the society. Consider a student who is fascinated with math[一句话放在这边,挺单薄的..]. Should education provide good teachers, useful resources and environment to satisfy his/her interests? I agree insofar as education also can teach the student other fundamentals for his/her survival in the society. If the student is only educated into a math-stuffed head without basic skills to communicate and cooperate with other people, he/she may not contribute to the society at all, since few can accept and understand his/her talented math theories.

Moreover, I disagree the assertion that education specifically designed to meet the individual needs and interests in consideration of two facts.

Effectiveness means the capability of, or success in, achieving a given goal. Contrary to efficiency, the focus of effectiveness is the achievement as such, not the resources spent, so not anything that is effective has to be efficient, but anything that is efficient also has to be effective. Efficiency is the capability of acting or producing effectively with a minimum amount or quantity of waste, expense, or unnecessary effort. "Efficiency" has widely varying meanings in different disciplines.

Note that the term "efficient" is very much confused and misused with the term "effective".

Moreover, I disagree the assertion that education specifically designed to meet the individual needs and interests in consideration of two facts. For one thing, personal interests are so changeable with time that they are hard to be satisfied. This reminds me of a high school classmate of mine, who was once obsessed with physics. She invested much in this interestsinterest, such as buying books, hiring tutors and attending competitions. However, after graduation from high school, she felt bored with physics and put away all physics books and chose to major in business in college. I do not think the former investment on physics is rather effective. 好像这个各个个例，如果你能举出来这是一个普遍存在的问题，那么才会导致not effectiveFor another thing, on societal level, we cannot afford such large spending to meet each student's interests. As time, money and energy are limited, education should spend the least of them to achieve most. As I previously said, education should offer students all-rounded knowledge and skills. It is not wise to put all eggs in only one basket, that is, education should not be required to solely meet individual needs, in this case.这里的论证也不深入，可以说为了满足每个人的需求，还要让大家都全面发展，学校会在金钱师资拉等等捉襟见肘，说不定会到时竹篮打水一场空

To sum up, although interests are significant motivations for discoveries and innovations, it should not be education's obligation to meet each student's interests for the reasons that education has much more responsibility to take and education is not effective to only fulfill changeable personal needs and interests given the limited time, energy and resources.

1.让步：interests are the best teachers.
2.education has more obligation to carry out, to educate students into well-rounded citizens.
3.personally, interests are changeable, thus difficult to be satisfied.
4.on societal level, education should spend least money, time and energy to achieve most. It is not effective to place all the eggs in one basket.

语法上的什么就不说了，真是不错，提些思路上的
1.2不变，后面满足每个人（因为1）和满足大家的一个平衡（因为2），提供足够多的资源让学生做出选择，在能力范围之内，尽可能的满足，达到教育的目的，才是最有效的
