Question

In a small open courtyard, outside a school building, there were flowers here and there. In the sunshine, a 1was lying on the grass, reading a book with 2concentration. Near her, another child was carefully watering the flowers, while a third was3with his back against a tree and had a 4on his knees. He appeared to be drawing or writing something on it. He was 5in his task, like the first child.
6the building, there were pleasant carpeted areas. Many children were busy with their tasks in a variety of 7, while teachers wandered among them, talking to them, 8them, and encouraging their efforts.
9I watched this scene on a morning in May years ago, it 10to me that a visitor here would11 have thought be had entered a formal school. He would have been even more12if he had been told that the children he was13came from different kinds of academic levels.
That14has been staying with me ever since. I have been15about some problems. Why in many schools are our children16asked to acquire skills in a way 17from a real-life context(情境)? Why does a18school child so often become a defeated school failure?
Developmental psychologist Margaret Donald once said,”19of the intellectual framework (知识框架) on which we20our teaching is misleading.” In my opinion, a child learns everything in human situation. And if every child could learn in the same way as the children in the school I visited, they would develop better.
