【真题训练】
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, when children learn to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle--compare those 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 own mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do 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 do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what 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 child when he tells us that he can\'t find the way to get the right answer. Let\'s end this nonsense of grades, exams,marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do 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 world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, "But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get in the world?" Don\'t worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.

【参考译文】
让孩子学着评价自己的工作。一个学说话的孩子不能靠别人总给他纠正错误来学习：如果被 纠正过多，他就会停止说话。[56]一天到晚，他都在注意自己讲的话跟周围人讲的有什么不同。这样慢慢地．他就自然而然地作出改变，说话跟其他人一样了。 [56][57]同样，孩子学别的东西时，他们也是不用教就能学会：走、跑、爬、吹口哨、骑车——他们会观察那些技术更熟练的人们是怎样做的，对比之后就 会作出必要的改变。但是在学校里，我们从不给孩子们机会让他们自己找出错误，更不用说自己改正了。我们总是替他们全部做好。[58]我们总是表现得好像我 们觉得他们永远不会自己发现错误：非堡我们指出来让他们改正不可。很快孩子就变得依赖老师了。放手让他自己做吧。让他自己解决问题吧，如果他想的话，可以 请其他孩子帮忙：这个单词是什么意思，这个问题该怎样回答，这样说或者这样做是否合适。
如果问题有正确答案，比如可能是数学或者科学问题，那 么把答案给孩子。让他批改自己的试卷。我们老师为何要浪费时间做这样无聊的事情呢?[59]我们的工作应当是在孩子找不到问题的正确答案时给予帮助。让我 们结束毫无意义的评级、考试和分数吧。让我们把这些全都抛开，让孩子学到所有受教育者终有一天都要学到的东西，学着如何思忖自己的理解，如何了解已知的和 未知的知识。
[59]让他们用最适合自己的方式独立学习：如果他们需要，可以寻求老师的帮助。在我们现在这样一个复杂而又快速发展的社会， “学校里有许多知识要学，学到之后就能一生受用”的观点就是胡扯。忧心忡忡的家长和老师说：“但是如果孩子学不到必要的东西，学不到将来进入社会必须要有 的东西，那该怎么办?”不要担心!如果那些东西很必要，那么以后进入社会他们就会学到的。
