III Read the passage below and choose the right answer Write your answers in your paper sheet.(1pt)
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 learning to all the other things learn to 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 it all for him We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher Let him it himself Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the 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 chila when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exams, marks Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or not know
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most 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 learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a worls as complicates and rapidly changing as ours Anxious parents and teachers say,’But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?’ Dont’t worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it
