关于issue154的疑问+对老美280本篇质疑

alcestisUID: 2101945

154"Both parents and communities must be involved in the local schools. Education is too important to leave solely to a group of professional educators."

引用G10T5 （我写时也有这种疑问）
首先说说我对这道题的看法，我一直不清楚这个local schools是什么意思。如果是指学校的话，在论证中牵扯到学习是一个终生过程，学生毕业后社会有责任继续教育，或者说家长是孩子的启蒙老师等等，算不算跑题呢？

在这里local school可以处理为Education的同义词么？

另外，研究了老美280中的这一篇 他全文偏重父母这一方面而几乎没提及社区，这样又算不算跑题？

Issue 154
"Both parents and communities must be involved in the local schools. Education is too important to leave solely to a group of professional educators."
Should parents and communities participate in local education because education is too important to leave to professional educators, as the speaker asserts? It might be tempting to agree with the speaker, based on a parent's legal authority over, familiarity with, and interest in his or her own children. However, a far more compelling argument can be made that, except for major decisions such as choice of school, a child's education is best left to professional educators.
Communities of parents concerned about their children's education rely on three arguments for active parental and community participation in that process. The first argument, and the one expressed most often and vociferously, is that parents hold the ultimately legal authority to make key decisions about what and how their own children learn including choice of curriculum and text books, pace and schedule for learning, and the extent to which their child should learn alongside other children. The second argument is that only a parent can truly know the unique needs of a child including what educational choices are best suited for the child. The third argument is that parents are more motivated--by pride and ego--than any other person to take whatever measures are needed to ensure their children receive the best possible education.
Careful examination of these three arguments, however, reveals that they are specious at best. As for the first one, were we to allow parents the right to make all major decisions regarding the education of their children, many children would go with little or no education. In a perfect world parents would always make their children's education one of their highest priorities. Yet, in fact many parents do not. As for the second argument, parents are not necessarily best equipped to know what is best for their child when it comes to education. Although most parents might think they are sufficiently expert by virtue of having gone through formal education themselves, parents lack the specialized training to appreciate what pedagogical methods are most effective, what constitutes a balanced education, how developmental psychology affects a child's capacity for learning at different levels and at different stages of childhood. Professional educators, by virtue of their specialized training in these areas, are far better able to ensure that a child receives a balanced, properly paced education.
There are two additional compelling arguments against the speaker's contention. First, parents are too subjective to always know what is truly best for their children. For example, many parents try to overcome their own shortcomings and failed self-expectations vicariously through their children's accomplishments. Most of us have known parents who push their child to excel in certain areas--to the emotional and psychological detriment of the child. Secondly, if too many parties become involved in making decisions about day-to-day instruction, the end result might be infighting, legal battles, boycotts, and other protests, all of which impede the educational process; and the ultimate victims are the children themselves. Finally, in many jurisdictions parents now have the option of schooling their children at home, as long as certain state requirements are met. In my observation, home schooling allows parents who prefer it great control over a child's education, while allowing the professional educators to discharge their responsibilities as effectively as possible--unfettered by gadfly parents who constantly interfere and intervene.
In sum, while parents might seem better able and better motivated to make key decisions about their child's education, in many cases they are not. With the possible exceptions of responsible home-schoolers, a child's intellectual, social, and psychological development is at risk when communities of parents dominate the decision-making process involving education.

再附我的提纲：（把local school处理为educaton 的同义词）

position: agree

syllabus
1 以专业教育者为特征的学校教育固然重要，但专业教育者的时间精力所限使他们不能全身心关注每个孩子 可能忽视个别孩子
2 家庭教育重要
  2.1 父母对于子女的性格形成起重要作用
  2.2 父母高度关注子女 和及早发现他们的优点和不足
3 社区重要
  3.1让孩子在与人交往中学习social skill
  3.2满足孩子的社交需求 促进健康成长

这里的local school应该指的就是学生就读的学校吧，我想这里题目的暗示就是要分三方面来讲，School- Family— Society
提纲应该是对的。

个人认为说终生教育和启蒙就是跑题

local school不管理解成什么，显然题目把讨论的范围设定在了学生在学校就读期间。要讨论的话题是：家长和社区应不应该把孩子仍给学校不管了。

没提社区不全面，我们自己写最好都些。
alcestis的提纲列得挺好的
