Admittedly, undue skepticism might be counterproductive in educating young children. I am
not an expert in developmental psychology; yet observation and common sense informs me
that youngsters must first develop a foundation of experiential knowledge before they can
begin to think critically about what they are learning. Even so, in my view no student, no matter
how young, should be discouraged from asking "Why?" and "Why not?"

To sum up, skepticism is the very stuff that progress is made of, whether it be in science,
sociology, politics, the law, or the arts. Therefore, skepticism should be encouraged at all but
the most basic levels of education.
Issue 68
"Both parents and communities must be involved in the local schools. Education is too
important to leave solely to a group of professional educators."
Should parents and communities participate in local education because education is too
important to leave to professional educators, as the speaker asserts? It might be tempting to
agree with the speaker, based on a parent's legal authority over, familiarity with, and interest in
his or her own children. However, a far more compelling argument can be made that, except
for major decisions such as choice of school, a child's education is best left to professional
educators.
Communities of parents concerned about their children's education rely on three arguments
for active parental and community participation in that process. The fzrst argument, and the
one expressed most often and vociferously, is that parents hold the ultimately legal authority to
make key decisions about what and how their own children learn including choice of
curriculum and text books, pace and schedule for learning, and the extent to which their child
should learn alongside other children. The second argument is that only a parent can truly
know the unique needs of a child including what educational choices are best suited for the
child. The third argument is that parents are more motivated--by pride and ego--than any other
person to take whatever measures are needed to ensure their children receive the best
possible education.
Careful examination of these three arguments, however, reveals that they are specious at
best. As for the first one, were we to allow parents the right to make all major decisions
regarding the education of their children, many children would go with little or no education. In
a perfect world parents would always make their children's education one of their highest
priorities. Yet, in fact many parents do not. As for the second argument, parents are not
necessarily best equipped to know what is best for their child when it comes to education. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（56） 》一文，查字典出国留学网()编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。GRE，全称Graduate Record Examination，中文名称为美国研究生入学考试，适用于除法律与商业外的各专业。由美国教育考试服务处(Educational Testing Service，简称ETS)主办，GRE是美国、加拿大的大学各类研究生院（除管理类学院，法学院）要求申请者所必须具备的一个考试成绩，也是教授对申请者是否授予奖学金所依据的最重要的标准。 另有，Generic Routing Encapsulation（通用路由封装）也简称GRE。
Although most parents might think they are sufficiently expert by virtue of having gone through
formal education themselves, parents lack the specialized training to appreciate what
pedagogical methods are most effective, what constitutes a balanced education, how
developmental psychology affects a child's capacity for learning at different levels and at
different stages of childhood. Professional educators, by virtue of their specialized training in
these areas, are far better able to ensure that a child receives a balanced, properly paced
education.
There are two additional compelling arguments against the speaker's contention. First,
parents are too subjective to always know what is truly best for their children. For example,
many parents try to overcome their own shortcomings and failed self-expectations vicariously
through their children's accomplishments. Most of us have known parents who push their child
to excel in certain areas--to the emotional and psychological detriment of the child. Secondly, if
too many parties become involved in making decisions about day-to-day instruction, the end
result might be infighting, legal battles, boycotts, and other protests, all of which impede the
76
educational process; and the ultimate victims are the children themselves. Finally, in many
jurisdictions parents now have the option of schooling their children at home, as long as certain
state requirements are met. In my observation, home schooling allows parents who prefer it
great control over a child's education, while allowing the professional educators to discharge
their responsibilities as effectively as possible--unfettered by gadfly parents who constantly
interfere and intervene.
In sum, while parents might seem better able and better motivated to make key decisions
about their child's education, in many cases they are not. With the possible exceptions of
responsible home-schoolers, a child's intellectual, social, and psychological development is at
risk when communities of parents dominate the decision-making process involving education.
Issue 69
"There is no such thing as purely objective observation. All observation is subjective; it is
always guided by the observer's expectations or desires."
The speaker claims that all observation is subjective--colored by desire and expectation. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（56） 》一文，查字典出国留学网()编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。GRE，全称Graduate Record Examination，中文名称为美国研究生入学考试，适用于除法律与商业外的各专业。由美国教育考试服务处(Educational Testing Service，简称ETS)主办，GRE是美国、加拿大的大学各类研究生院（除管理类学院，法学院）要求申请者所必须具备的一个考试成绩，也是教授对申请者是否授予奖学金所依据的最重要的标准。 另有，Generic Routing Encapsulation（通用路由封装）也简称GRE。
While it would be tempting to concede that we all see things differently, careful scrutiny of the
speaker's claim reveals that it confuses observation with interpretation. In fact, in the end the
speaker's claim relies entirely on the further claim that there is no such thing as truth and that
we cannot truly know anything. While this notion might appeal to certain existentialists and
epistemologists, it runs against the grain of all scientific discovery and knowledge gained over
the last 500 years.
It would be tempting to afford the speaker's daim greater merit than it deserves. After all, our
everyday experience as humans informs us that we often disagree about what we observe
around us. We've all uttered and heard uttered many times the phase "That's not the way I see
it!" Indeed, everyday observations--for example, about whether a football player was out of
bounds, or about which car involved in an accident ran the red light--vary depending not only
on one's spatial perspective but also on one's expectations or desires. If I'm rooting for one
football team, or if the player is well-known for his ability to make great plays while barely
staying in bounds, my desires or expectations might influence what I think I observe. Or if I am
driving one of the cars in the accident, or if one car is a souped-up sports car, then my desires
or expectations will in all likelihood color my perception of the accident's events.
However, these sorts of subjective "observations" are actually subjective "interpretations'' of
what we observe. Visitors to an art museum might disagree about the beauty of a particular
work, or even about which color predominates in that work. In a court trial several jurors might
view the same videotape evidence many times, yet some jurors might "observe" an incident of
police brutality, will others "observe" the appropriate use of force to restrain a dangerous
individual. Thus when it comes to making judgments about what we observe and about
remembering what we observe, each person's individual perspective, values, and even
emotions help form these judgments and recollections. It is crucial to distinguish between
interpretations such as these and observation, which is nothing more than a sensory
experience. Given the same spatial perspective and sensory acuity and awareness, it seems
to me that our observations would all be essentially in accord--that is, observation can be
objective. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（56） 》一文，查字典出国留学网()编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。
