What is happening in the United States today is truly astonishing. In a society that prides itself on its preference for facts over hearsay, on its openness to research, and on its respect for "expert" opinion, parents, educators, administrators, and legislators are ignoring the facts, the research, and the expert opinion about how young children learn and how best to teach them.
All across the country, educational programs intended for school-aged children are being appropriated for the education of young children. In some states (for example, New York, Connecticut, and Illinois) educational administrators are advocating that children enter school at age four. Many kindergarten programs have become full-day kindergartens, and nursery-school programs have become pre-kindergartens. Moreover, many of these kindergartens have introduced curricula, including work papers, once reserved for first-grade children. And in books addressed to parents a number of writers are encouraging parents to teach infants and young children reading, math, and science.
When we instruct children in academic subjects, or in swimming, gymnastics, or ballet, at too early an age, we miseducate them; we put them at risk for short-term stress and long-term personality damage for no useful purpose. There is no evidence that such early instruction has lasting benefits, and considerable evidence that it can do lasting harm.
Why, then, are we engaging in such unhealthy practices on so vast a scale? Like all social phenomena, the contemporary miseducation of large numbers of infants and young children derives from the coming together of multiple and complex social forces that both generate and justify these practices. One thing is sure: miseducation does not grow out of established knowledge about what is good pedagogy for infants and young children. Rather, the reasons must be sought in the changing values, size, structure, and style of American families, in the residue of the 1960s efforts to ensure equality of education for all groups, and in the new status, competitive, and computer pressures experienced by parents and educators in the eighties.
While miseducation has always been with us — we have always had pushy parents — today it has become a societal norm. If we do not wake up to the potential danger of these harmful practices, we may do serious damage to a large segment of the next generation.
Which of the following statements is wrong?
选项
A、We educate our children wrongly because social forces make us to do so.
B、We educate our children wrongly because we believe it is good for infants and young children.
C、We educate our children wrongly because our values, size, structure, and style of American families have changed.
D、We educate our children wrongly because we did it to ensure better education of our children.
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。第四段第二句提到,当今对大量婴幼儿的过早教育源于多重复杂的社会力量,故[A]项正确,予以排除。第四段第三句提到,过早教育儿童不是源自关于什么是好的婴幼儿教育的已有知识,结合第一段提到的美国人忽视事实、研究以及专家对于孩子如何学习和教育孩子最佳方式的意见,可知他们是由于错误认为过早教育儿童对孩子有益才如此的,故[B]项正确,予以排除。第四段最后一句提到,过早教育儿童的原因应该从美国家庭不断变化的价值观念、大小、结构和风格中寻找,故[C]项正确,予以排除。第四段最后一句提到,过早教育儿童的原因应该从20世纪60年代追求教育公平的努力的残余中寻找,并未提到是为了保证更好的教育,故[D]项错误,为答案。
