Since the 1980s, debates have been fueled on the ideal means of education. Some observers often emphasize that although schoolwork is regarded as a heavy weight on pupils’back, it improves students’ understanding and proficiency in a particular subject. However, through decades of practice and observation, it turns out that their statement has many restrictions.

Admittedly, the idea held by those arguers does contain an element of truth. For example, excessive school assignments, the symbols of academic burden, can successfully boost the academic ability of a student in certain subjects, literal arts in particular. But these arguers tend to ignore two other essential aspects. First, they fail to take into account the possibility that a student overwhelmed with a gigantic task of spelling or calculating is often deprived of other potentials such as imagination and creation, which are equally important for the sustainable development of a child. In this sense, the monotonous academic practice is not always synonymous to the inspiration of a balanced and healthy personality. Second, the arguers’ assertion doesn’t provide sufficient data to narrow down the exact correlation between the amount of assignment and the future academic success. Therefore, any further conclusion addressing the problem must be based on thorough investigation. As a matter of fact, the educational approach orientated in the mastery and memory of certain information often crams a learner with irrelevant facts or confusing logic. By comparison, quality education tends to be ideal, for it aims at boosting one’s ability, inspiring one’s imagination and cultivating one’s understanding of the world. Given reasons above, the argument that the increase of academic training is central in the development of one’s quality, under a careful scrutiny, turns out to be groundless in its hasty conclusion.

What measures should be taken so that people can benefit from the current educational system? For one thing, the learners, teenagers in particular, are expected to enhance their awareness that examinations are not the sole purpose of their study. For another thing, teachers and educationalists are obliged to initiate creative projects that tailor to the sustainable development of a child. Only in this way can a child enjoy the greatest from their learning, thus paving a way for their prospective career.

自1980年代以來,爭論一直在推動教育的理想手段。一些觀察人士經常強調,儘管學業學生退回被視為一個沉重的重量,還可以提高學生的理解和能力在一個特定的主題。然而,通過幾十年的實踐和觀察,事實證明,他們的聲明有許多限制。

誠然,這些爭論者持有的想法幷包含一個元素的真理。例如,過多的學校作業,學業負擔的符號,可以成功地提高學生的學術能力在某些科目,尤其是文字藝術。但這些爭論者傾向於忽視其他兩個基本方面。首先,他們沒有考慮到學生不知所措的可能性與一個巨大的任務,拼寫或計算往往剝奪了其他如想象力和創造性,這是同樣重要的是可持續發展的一個孩子。在這個意義上,單調的學術實踐並不總是代表靈感的一個平衡和健康的人格。第二,爭論者的論斷沒有提供足夠的數據來縮小分配的確切數量之間的相關性和學術成就未來。因此,任何進一步的結論解決問題必須建立在徹底調查。事實上,面向教育方法的掌握和記憶某些信息經常飽一個學習者的無關緊要的事實或混亂邏輯。相比之下,素質教育往往是理想的,因為它旨在促進一個人的能力,激發人的想象力和培養一個人的對世界的理解。鑑於以上原因,認為學術培訓的增加是中央的.發展質量,在仔細審查,草率的結論被證明是毫無根據的。

應採取哪些措施,這樣人們可以受益於當前的教育制度?首先,學習者,特別是青少年,預計將提高他們的意識,考試不是學習的唯一目的。另一方面,教師和教育家必須啟動創意項目,調整孩子的可持續發展。只有這樣,孩子才能享受最大的從他們的學習,從而為他們的未來職業鋪平了道路。
