The difference is that Ellen Glanz was a twenty-eight-year-old high school socia
19、l studies teacher who was a student for six months to improve her teaching Uby gaining a fresh perspective/U of her school.(2)She found many classes boring, students doing as little as necessary to pass tests and get good grades, students using ruses (借口) to avoid assignments, and students manipulat
20、ing teachers to do the work for them. She concluded that many students are turned off be- cause they have little power and responsibility for their own education.(3)Ellen Glanz found herself doing the same things as the students. There was the day when Glanz wanted to join her husband in helping fri
21、ends celebrate the purchase of a house, but she had homework for a math class. For the first time, she knew how teenagers feel when they think something is more important than homework.(4)She found a way out and confided: “I considered my options: Confess openly to the teacher, copy someone elses sh
22、eet, or Umake up an excuse/U.“ Glanz chose the third optionthe one most widely usedand told the teacher that the pages needed to complete the assignment had been ripped from the book. UThe teacher accepted the story, never checking the book/U. In class, nobody else did the homework; and student afte
23、r student mumbled responses when called upon.(5)“Finally,“ Glanz said,“ the teacher, thinking that the assignment must have been difficult, went over each question at the board while students copied the problems at their seats. The teacher Uhad covered the material/U and the students had listened to
24、 the explanation. But had anything been learned? I dont think so.“(6)Glanz found this kind of thing common. “In many classes,“ she said, “people simply didnt do the work assignment, but copied from someone else or manipulated the teacher into doing the work for them.“(7) “The system encourages incre
25、dible passivity,“ Glanz said. “In most classes one sits and listens. A teacher, whose role is activity, simply cannot understand the passivity of the students role,“ she said. “When I taught,“ Glanz recalled, “my mind was going constantlyfiguring out how to best present an idea, thinking about whom
26、to call on, whom to draw out, whom to shut up; how to get students involved, how to make my point clearer, how to respond; when to be funny, when serious. As a student, I experienced little of this. Everything was done to me.“(8)Class methods promote the feeling that students have little control ove
27、r or responsibility for their own education because the agenda is the teachers, Glanz said. The teacher is convinced the subject matter is worth knowing, but the student may not agree. Many students, Glanz said, are not convinced they need to know what teachers teach; but they believe good grades ar
28、e needed to get into college.(9) Students, obsessed with getting good grades Uto help qualify for the college of their choice/U, believe the primary responsibility for their achievement rests with the teacher, Glanz said. “It was his responsibility to teach well rather than their responsibility to l
29、earn carefully.“(10)Teachers were regarded by students, Glanz said, not as “people,“ but as “role-players“ who dispensed information needed to pass a test. “I often heard students describing teachers as drips, bores, and numerous varieties of idiots,“ she said. “Yet I knew that many of the same peop
30、le had traveled the world over, conducted fascinating experiments or learned three languages, or were accomplished musicians, artists, or athletes.“(11)But the sad reality, Glanz said, is the failure of teachers to recognize their tremendous communications gap with students. Some students, she expla
31、ined, believe that effort has little value. Some have heard reports of unemployment among college graduates and others, and after seeing political corruption they conclude that honesty takes a back seat to get- ting ahead any way one can, she said. “I sometimes estimated that half to two-thirds of a
32、 class cheated on a given test,“ Glanz said. “Worse, Ive encountered students who feel no remorse (自责) about cheating but are annoyed that a teacher has confronted them on their actions.“(12)Glanz has since returned to teaching at Lincoln-Sudbury. Before her period as a student, she would worry that
33、 perhaps she was demanding too much. “Now I know I should have demanded more,“ she said. Before, she was quick to accept the excuses of students who came to class unprepared. Now she says, “You are responsible for learning it.“ But a crack- down is only a small part of the solution.(13)The larger is
34、sue, Glanz said, is that educators must recognize that teachers and students, though physically in the same school, are in separate worlds and have an on-going power struggle. “A first step toward ending this battle is to convince students that what we attempt to teach them is genuinely worth knowin
35、g,“ Glanz said. “We must be sure, our- selves, that what we are teaching is worth knowing.“ No longer, she emphasized, do students assume that “teacher knows best.“（分数：40.00）(1).In this section, there are ten incomplete statements or questions, followed by four choices marked A, B, C and D.
