Issue5、
"A nation should require all its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college rather than allow schools in different parts of the nation to determine which academic courses to offer."
1.
不支持same national curriculum。
原因:
如果全国的学生学习课程一样,那么学生就没有差异了。
全国所有地区的教育发展的程度是不一样的,same national curriculum,的标准是按照发达教育地区还是落后教育地区呢,这个很难定,也不利于教育的发展,因此,不同地区采用不同的curriculum,目的是适合那个地区的教育。
2.
不同地区决定不同的课程的好处
发挥各地区的教育优势,
Issue 51
"Education will be truly effective only when it is specifically designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each student."
反对:
1.
教育不可能完全满足个人的需求和兴趣,
2.
教育的意义不旨在为了个人的需求和兴趣,很多时候,教育是社会需求的反映,社会需要什么,教育的的内容就会增加什么
Issue 94
"Universities should require every student to take a variety of courses outside the student's field of study because acquiring knowledge of various academic disciplines is the best way to become truly educated."
部分反对:
1.
学生学习的时间和精力是有限的,在大学里不可能什么都学,所以 a variety of courses ,and various academic disciplines
不现实,相反,如果没有把握好重要性尺度,会适得其反,即,自己field 的东西没有学懂,other fields 的东西也是一知半解。
部分赞成:
在学生学有余力的情况下,可以选择与自己field 有关的或是自己感兴趣的东西学习,这样可以起到锦上添花的作用。
Issue 112
"Some educational systems emphasize the development of students' capacity for reasoning and logical thinking, but students would benefit more from an education that also taught them to explore their own emotions."
reasoning and logical thinking很重要,比如:1. 2. 3
但是education that also taught them to explore their own emotions也不可忽视,因为:1. 2. 3
Issue 153
Students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively."
