問題詳情
IV. Reading Comprehension: Choose the best answer to each question.Questions 46-50 Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being correctedall the time; if corrected too much; he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the differencesbetween the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessarychanges to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learn to do all the other thingsthat they are not taught -to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle-compare their own performance withthat of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correctthem. We teachers seem to do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistakeunless it is pointed out to him, or correct it unless he is made to. Soon he becomes dependent to theteacher. As a matter of a fact, we should let him do it by himself. Let him work out with help of otherchildren if he wants it. If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematic or science, we should give him theanswer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work?Our job should help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let’s endall this nonsense of grades, exams, marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what alleducated person must someday learn—how to measure their own understanding and how to know whatthey know or do not know. Let them go on with the job in the way that seems the most sensible to them with our help as schoolteachers if they ask for it. Perhaps anxious parents and teachers may ask “What if children fail to learnsomething essential which they will need to get on in the world? The answer may be “Don’t worry! If it isessential, they will go out into the world and learn it.”
