占8.20 如果每年上课11个月以上,学生会得到更有效的教育
Someone hold the view that students would receive better education if they were to haveclass for more than eleven months every year. I, however, cannot agree with this point of view for the following reasons.
To begin with, I believe lecturing is not the only way for students to study. Indeed,for some traditional science, such as literature or math, theoretical learningis probably the best way to acquire knowledge. But for certain subjects, sitting in the classroom has no use for improving students’ concept of these subjects. Take biology for an example. There is no doubt that class learning is significant for students majoring in biology while I believe field work orobservation matters the most. I got to know from my favorite channel, Discovery, that biologists studying a certain species may live with this speciesfor a quite long period. In this period, biologists can closely watch the daily behavior of the species so that they will get the resources they want. Thus,sometimes, field research is a better way to study.
In addition, students may feel bored if given too much time to study. It is known to all thateverything has a limit. Numerous examples have already told people if we pushtoo hard, the attempt to achieve what we want may backfire. For example, I liked chemistry very much when I was in high school. I could not help reading books about chemistry or doing practice questions on books every day. After a while,however, I immediately had a feeling that I did not want to read any bookrelated to chemistry ever. I thought I learned too much, so I paused a week to relax myself. Eventually, I got my feet back on my study.
Last but not the least, for primary students, I suppose their priority is to play with theirfriends or stay with their family. They are too young to be overwhelmed by academic questions. Moreover, play is good for their intelligence and physical health. I read that the difference in IQ in primate is attributed to whether the ape or monkey played in its young age. If the primate played a lot, ittended to be more intelligent. As a result, I believe study more will surely be harmful for children’s growth.
To summarize,although I have to admit that increasing the time for students to learn knowledge may help them in some way, the reasons and facts above prove that children need comprehensive development not only in academic performances. |
