b. read the paragraph carefully and then choose the best answer below
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

2
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 learning to do all the other things they learn to do without
being taught - to walk, 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 or right answer , as it may be in mathematics or science , give him the answer book . Let him
correct his own papers . Why should our 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, marks. Let us throw them all out , and let the children learn what all educated persons must some days 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 as rapidly changing as ours .Anxious parents and teachers say , ‘but suppose
they fail to learn something essential , they will go out into the world and learn it .
