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.

诚然,这些争论者持有的想法并包含一个元素的真理。例如,过多的学校作业,学业负担的符号,可以成功地提高学生的学术能力在某些科目,尤其是文字艺术。但这些争论者倾向于忽视其他两个基本方面。首先,他们没有考虑到学生不知所措的可能性与一个巨大的任务,拼写或计算往往剥夺了其他如想象力和创造性,这是同样重要的是可持续发展的一个孩子。在这个意义上,单调的学术实践并不总是代表灵感的一个平衡和健康的人格。第二,争论者的论断没有提供足够的数据来缩小分配的确切数量之间的相关性和学术成就未来。因此,任何进一步的结论解决问题必须建立在彻底调查。事实上,面向教育方法的掌握和记忆某些信息经常饱一个学习者的无关紧要的事实或混乱逻辑。相比之下,素质教育往往是理想的,因为它旨在促进一个人的能力,激发人的想象力和培养一个人的对世界的理解。鉴于以上原因,认为学术培训的增加是中央的.发展质量,在仔细审查,草率的结论被证明是毫无根据的。

应采取哪些措施,这样人们可以受益于当前的教育制度?首先,学习者,特别是青少年,预计将提高他们的意识,考试不是学习的唯一目的。另一方面,教师和教育家必须启动创意项目,调整孩子的可持续发展。只有这样,孩子才能享受最大的从他们的学习,从而为他们的未来职业铺平了道路。
