作業(yè)制度廢除：紐約學(xué)校的新嘗試
出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)訊，紐約一所學(xué)校的校長宣布廢除作業(yè)制度，原因是近來關(guān)于作業(yè)副作用的討論越來越激烈，教育者們認(rèn)為關(guān)鍵還是要激發(fā)學(xué)生的內(nèi)在激情和興趣，并試圖找到一個真正對學(xué)生成長有幫助的教育方式。
One prominent homework abolitionist says that when the principal at P.S. 116 in Manhattan stopped assigning homework, instead encouraging students to do self-guided after-school activities with family, she “took a rare and tiny step toward common sense.”
一個作業(yè)廢除主義者的中心人物說，當(dāng)校長在曼哈頓宣布不再布置作業(yè)，轉(zhuǎn)而鼓勵學(xué)生自主做課外活動時，她就邁出了非常珍貴的一小步。
The topic of homework has received a lot of attention lately, and the negative effects of homework have been well established,” principal Jane Hsu wrote in a letter sent home to parents last month, according to the website DNA Info. “They include: children’s frustration and exhaustion, lack of time for other activities and family time and, sadly, for many, loss of interest in learning.”
據(jù)DNA Info網(wǎng)報道，校長Jane Hsu在上個月寄給家長的信中說道，“關(guān)于作業(yè)的話題近來備受關(guān)注，作業(yè)的負(fù)面效應(yīng)也是眾所周知的，其中包括：孩子們的沮喪和疲倦、缺乏活動時間和陪伴家人的時間和對學(xué)習(xí)興趣的喪失，”
“Homework is all pain and no gain,” Mr. Kohn says. He is also known for his blog which covers a range of education topics and talking points for both educators and parents.
Mr.Kohn說道，“家庭作業(yè)除了痛苦外毫無收獲。”他的博客中包含很多供教育者和家長們討論的話題。
“Telling kids how much and how long they have to read is an excellent strategy for making kids hate reading,” Kohn says. “Good teachers, their goal isn’t mindless compliance but rather tapping into the excitement and inherent interest a student has in reading.”
Kohn認(rèn)為要求孩子要讀多少書和讀多長時間極有可能起到讓他們討厭閱讀的效果。他覺得好的老師要求的不是絕對的服從，而是讓學(xué)生對讀書有內(nèi)在的激情和興趣。
