一个国家应该要求所有的学生在进入大学之前都学习由国家统一制定的课程,而不是允许由国家不同地区的学校去决定课程的安排。

1. On the one hand, a national curriculum contributes to preserving a unified national culture and national cohesion.
2. Furthermore, a general curriculum decided by authority rather than by local schools avoids limiting students to a narrow scope of knowledge too early.
3. On the other hand, in a multi-cultural society, different ethnic communities should be given the opportunity to preserve and promote their traditional cultures.
4. It’s beneficial to grant local schools the freedom to offer students some elective courses, which can help the school to build its unique culture charisma.
不管在校园外不同领域之间薪水的差异有多大,学校对于所有学科老师的待遇应该是一视同仁的。比如,低年级的数学和美术老师应该享有同样的收入,即便在校外,数学专家的收入一般是要比艺术家高得多。
1. The salary rate a teacher receives should be related not to his/ her discipline but his/her effort and contribution to the educational course.
2. Absolutely identical rate is unfair. Teachers of some disciplines have to assume more harsh work under worse circumstances.
3. If the differences in salaries for related fields in the world outside of school or college are dismissed, schools and colleges may have to face the loss of its staff.
孤立的校园
与其要求学生们选修各种各样的学科----从艺术和人文科学到物理和生物科学----大学还不如允许学生们仅仅去选择那些有助于他们今后工作的学科。这种集中在当今这个工作至上的社会是必要的。
1. To begin with, schools should attach enough importance to courses that can help students prepare for jobs in their chosen fields.
2. However, work-oriented courses is never incompatible with other courses such as arts, humanities and the like, which also play an important role in one career success.
3. Inter-disciplinary study is crucial for the improvement of either discipline.
4. Though courses of a wide range of disciplines should be made compulsory, sufficient freedom should be granted to students.
