问题     Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught—to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle— compare their own performances with those 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 correct them. We do it all for him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher, let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
    If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let’s end this nonsense of grades, exams, marks. Let us throw them all out, and let children learn what all educated person must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know that they know or do not know. Let him get on with this job in the way that seems sensible to them. With our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learned to school and used for the rest of one’s life say, " But suppose they fail to learn something essential they will need to get in the world? " Don’t worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.
Exams, grades and marks should be abolished because children’s progress should only be estimated by________.

选项 A、educated person
B、the children themselves
C、their teachers
D、their parents

答案B

解析 推理判断题。根据第三段第五至七句“Let’s end this nonsense of grades, exams, marks. Let us throw them all out, and let children learn what all educated person must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know that they know or do not know. Let him get on with this job in the way that seems sensible to them. ”可知,让我们结束这些关于成绩、考试、分数的无稽之谈吧。让我们把它们都扔掉,让孩子们学习所有受过教育的人有朝一日必须学习的东西,如何衡量他们的理解力,如何知道他们知道还是不知道。让他以自认为明智的方式来做这项工作。由此可知,考试、成绩和分数应该取消,因为孩子的进步只能由孩子自己来估计,而不是受过教育的人、他们的父母和老师,因此排除A、C、D选项。故选B。
