Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
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 learn all the other things they learn to do without being taught – to talk, 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 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 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 child 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, and 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 on in the world?” Don’t worry! If it is essential,
they will go out into the world and learn it.
