Expectations surrounding education have spun out of control. On top of a seven-hour school day, our kids march through hours of nightly homework, daily sports practices and band rehearsals, and weekend-consuming assignments and tournaments. Each activity is seen as a step on the ladder to a top college, an enviable job and a successful life. Children living in poverty who aspire to college face the same daunting admissions arms race, as well as the burden of competing for scholarships, with less support than their privileged peers. Eve a those not bound for college are ground down by the constant measurement in schools under pressure to push through mountains of rote, impersonal material as early as preschool. Yet instead of empowering them to thrive, this drive for success is eroding children’ s health and undermining their potential. Modern education is actually making them sick. Working together, parents, educators and students can make small but important changes.
选项
答案
人们对教育的期望已经失控。除了每天7个小时的上课时间外,我们的孩子还要在晚上做几个小时的家庭作业,每日参加体育锻炼和乐队排练,周末要做功课和参加比赛。每个活动都被视为进入顶级大学、获得令人羡慕的工作和成功人生的阶梯。渴望上大学的贫困家庭的儿童,也面临着同样严峻的升学“军备竞赛”,以及争夺奖学金的重担,而且相比富有的同龄人他们获得的支持更少。即使是那些没有大学升学压力的学生,面对学校持续不断的测验压力,也会感受到沉重的负担。学校也承受着压力,早在学前教育中,就要迫使学生死记硬背堆积如山的枯燥知识。然而这种对于成功的追求非但没有促使孩子们茁壮成长,反而损害了他们的健康,破坏了他们的潜力。实际上现代教育正在促使他们患病。父母、教育工作者和学生共同努力,可以带来一些并不算大但非常重要的改变。
