Public or Private, US Schools Aim for Best Education
Neighborhood Schools
There is no great difference between city, suburb and village schools in the United States. Public schools teach the same subjects in the same grades across the land. Most school buildings look the same and have the same types of rooms inside.
There is always a gym, a large room for basketball and other sports. There is a lunchroom, a school library, and an auditorium, a very large room where all the students and teachers can meet. Most schools also have rooms for the school band to practice in. They have rooms for students to type and use computers. There are usually workshops for students to work with paint, wood, metal, and other materials. These are all part of most American public schools, no matter where they are.
Each school serves a neighborhood, and neighborhoods are different. In some, the parents take an interest in what their children are doing at school. They give their time, their ideas, and they may give gifts to their schools.
That’s what makes a good school in America. Generally, it doesn’t matter whether the neighborhood is rich or poor, whether it is in the city, the suburbs, or the countryside. What matters is the interest the neighborhood takes in its school. Schools try to interest students in their neighborhood, too. Trips to the firehouse, police headquarters, newspaper offices, and other places are very popular with young children.
Some schools have newspapers written by students for their neighbors. Older students may clean up the neighborhood together. They may earn money by washing cars, and use the money to help sick or elderly people in the neighborhood.
There are ways students learn about the American way of life. They start with their neighborhood.
Private Schools
Private school does not mean better. But it does mean expensive. Public schools in the US are paid for by money from everyone; private schools are not. Parents who send their children to private schools must pay to do so.
Parents may have enough money to pay for private schools. But these schools do not have to accept their children. Most private schools accept only children who are already doing well in school and are able to work quietly. Some take only boys or only girls. Classes are often quieter and less crowded than classes in public schools. This gives children a chance to learn more of what their teachers are trying to teach them.
Public schools do not teach religion. So some parents choose private religious schools for their children. These schools each belong to a church. They give lessons about that religion. They give lessons in all the usual school subjects as well.
Children at many private schools wear special school uniforms, all exactly the same. At public schools, students wear what they want. They often dress in bright colors and tennis shoes. They sometimes invent new and wonderful fashions.
Only about 17 percent of American children are sent to private schools. Most Americans really believe in public education. They want their children to go to schools that are free and are open to all. They want their children to make friends with everyone — children of all races, from all kinds of families, with different talents, and different interests.
选项
答案
美国教育质量为本 公立学校 在美国,城里的学校、郊区的学校或农村的学校都差不多。在全国各地的公立学校,同一年级教同样的课程。大部分学校的建筑看上去也一样,里面房间的式样也没有多大差别。 学校里一般都有一个健身房,在里面可打篮球和做各种其他运动。此外,还有食堂、图书馆和礼堂;在礼堂里,可以举行全体师生大会。许多学校还有音乐教室,学校的乐队可在里面排练。另外还有电脑房,学生可在里面打字和使用电脑。一般学校还有工场间,学生可以学做油漆工、木工或金工等各种工艺活。不管在哪里,美国大部分公立学校都必须具备这些基础设施。 每个学校都服务于一个社区。当然,社区之间是有差别的。在有些社区,家长对孩子在学校里的活动比较关心,他们会为学校花点时间,提些建议,甚至还会送些礼物给学校。 所有这些,都是美国好学校所必须具备的条件。一般来说,社区是否富有,学校是否在城里、郊区或乡下,这些都没有什么关系。重要的是,社区对学校是否关心。学校也尽量吸引社区里学生的兴趣。学校经常组织孩子去参观消防站、警察局、报社办公室或其他机构。 在有些学校,学生为自己的社区办报纸。年龄大一点的学生也为社区打扫卫生。他们也为别人洗车,赚来的钱帮助社区里的老人和病人。 学生也能学到有关美国生活方式的知识,这种学习往往从社区开始。 私立学校 私立学校并不一定比公立学校好,但上私立学校肯定比上公立学校贵。公立学校的办学经费用的是每一个公民纳税的钱,而私立学校却不是这样。家长如果想把自己的孩子送到私立学校去念书,他们就得自己付钱。 即使家长有钱付学费,私立学校也不一定非得把孩子收下来。大部分的私立学校一般都只收学习成绩较好而又遵守纪律的学生。有的私立学校只收男生,而有的私立学校又只收女生。与公立学校相比,私立学校每个班的人数要少些,学生也能遵守课堂纪律。这样,学生在学校里就能学到更多的知识。 公立学校不设宗教课程。所以,有些家长就把自己的孩子送到私立的教会学校去上学。这类教会学校一般都属于某个教派,在学校里,他们就给学生上自己教派的宗教课程。当然,其他学校教的所有的课程,教会学校也都得教。 许多私立学校的学生都得穿式样统一的校服。在公立学校,学生爱穿什么就可穿什么。他们往往穿着艳丽的衣服和网球鞋;有时,学生们也会搞些新花样,很快就成为流行的时装。 在美国,只有17%的孩子上私立学校。大部分家长更喜欢公立学校。他们让自己的孩子上公立学校,因为公立学校的气氛更自由,并且面向大众。家长希望自己的孩子能与不同种族和不同家庭出生的孩子交朋友,也希望他们能接触具有不同才能和不同兴趣的伙伴。
