问题     The question of what children learn,and how they should learn,is continually being debated and redebated.Nobody dares any longer to defend the old system,the learning of lessons parrot.fashion,the grammar—with—a—whip system,wlfich was good enough for our grandparents.The theories of modern psychology have stepped in to argue that we must understand the need of children.Children are not just small adults;they are children who must be respected as much.Well,you may say,this is as it should be.a good idea.But think further.What happens??“Education”becomes the responsibility not of teachers,but of psychologists(心理学家).What happensthen?Teachers worry too much about the psychological implications(暗示)of their lessons,and for get about the subjects themselves.If a child dislikes a lesson,the teacher feels that it is his fault.Not the child’s.So teachers won’y whether history is“relevant”to modern young children.And do they dare to recount stories about violence??Or will this make the children themselves violent??Can thev tell their classes about children of different races,or will this encourage racial hatred?Why teach children to write grammatical sentences??Verbal expression is better.Sums??Arithmetic??No:Real-1ife mathematical situations are more understandable.
    You see,you can go too far.Influenced by educational theorists,who have nothing better to do bthan to write books about their ideas,teachers leave their teacher-training colleges filled with grand,psychological ideas about children and their needs.They make elaborate,sophisticated(精致的、复杂的)preparations and try out their“modern methods”on the long-suffering children.Since one“modern method”rapidly replaces another the poor kids will have had a good bellyful by the time they leave sch001.Frequently the modern methods are so sophisticated that they fail to be understood by the teachers,let alone the children;even more often,the relaxed discipline so essential for the“informal”feelings the class must have,prevents all but a handful of children from learning anything.
What happens when teachers pay too much attention to the psychology of their lessons?

选项 A、They find that the children dislike the lessons.
B、They tend to blame students for their failure.
C、They do not pay enough attention to the actual lessons.
D、They no longer want to teach children history.

答案C
