Gifted children are supposed to be the ones who excel in thinking, remembering, observing and etc.And We believed that gifted children should be educated separately.
1 Firstly, we believed that seperated education offers gifted children
a chance to get more challenging tasks. We all know Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development theroy. It indicates that everyone has the possibility of further development and we need to push children to achieve their possible development. How could gifted children achieve their proximal development learning something they already know? If we don’t give gifted children seperated education, we deprive them of chance to proximal development.(TAO Q: Can I interpret what you just said in this way: normal children don’t need challenging tasks? They should just some content within their reach ?A: No, I don’t mean to say that. Normal children also need challenging tasks to get further development. When we say some material is Chanllenging, we say it is challenging for some body. For example, addition is something challenging for the first grade, but it is not ecessary to learn for the forth grade. ) We have examples to illustrate this. Edision was labeled as changeling because he always asked some question beyond his age.
2Secondly, we believed that communication will be definitely
smoother among people who are at the same level. We mean to say that gifted children will develop a good relationship with their classmates who think in the same level.
3Thirdly, we believed that separated education makes practical
sense. It will save a lot of time and efforts for the teachers and the schoolmaster. As we all know individualized education is always been advocated and there is plenty of proof that it is right to do so. How could a teacher conduct his individualized education in a class where children are quite different in their way of thinking, interest and level of understanding? Separated education, we can’t say completely solve this dilemma; at least will make it easier.
反方一辩陈词
1 firstly, we believed that everyone was born to be equal and there
are laws to ensure everyone’s right to equal education, such as the law of compulsory education. The core content of educational equality is no discrimination. According to provision of law, every citizen has the right to same education and every citizen has equal access to education. Giving different education to different person is not allowed.(Q:what do you mean by different education? It is a fact that everyone’s education is different for people study in different school, class, situation and different family. A: I agree that people can’t get completely the same education.I mean to say that every
student should have accss to any learning material. Seperated education isolated normal children from some learning content and this is not fair.) We believe that separated education is discrimination.
2. Secondly, we believed that separated education will lead the
regular class to be drained of academic role models. We all know that role model is very important factor in children’s grow-up. Besides that, the normal children may not perform well in intelligence, but they may succeed in society in the future development. For example, a teacher in Hangzhou had done a research on 150 pupils who graduated in 1990. The research had found that students who used to ranked 4thto20th had done a very good job in their later career and study. On the contrary, those students who used to got excellent grades had confronted many frustrations in their later work and study.
3. Thirdly, separating students according to their IQ levels may send
a message to those who take regular courses that their work is not valued by the school, which is very likely to reduce their self-confidence and damage their self-esteem. Besides it will hurt parents to get some children labeled. It will lead to them to make
wrong perception and judgments on their children. These children, you know, just need some time to catch-up.
4. The ability to cooperate is a necessary quality for people in both
modern society and the future society. It requires children cooperate and communicate with people of different interests, different abilities, different personalities and different backgrounds. Separated education is a violation of such a trend.
正方二辩
1.We do agree that everyone is entitled with the right to equal
education, but we have to point out that everyone has the right to choose the content of education. Separated education offer gifted children a chance to choose more appropriate education. Besides, we believe that there is no absolute fairness. Separated
education is not a violation of education equality. Give every one what they exactly need is the fairness. Moreover, separated education doesn’t mean we give the normal children the unqualified teachers, bad educational facilities and something like bad, we just believe that we should give everyone what they really need.
2And what we advocate is a dynamic system which ensures everyone the right to choose more challenging tasks. Successful
education is supposed to offer gifted children a stage and give normal children a chance. (ZHANG Q:would you explain what is your dynamic system?A: we will carry out evaluation regularly. If any normal child is prepared to get more challenging tasks, we offer them access to it. We will establish scientific scale to test children’s thinking ability, observation ability, spatial thinking, etc)
2As we both talked about the power of role model, we can’t
deny that role model can bring motivation as much as inferiority. And there is no doubt that it can bring more inferiority than motivation when a role model is too excellent to catch up. And we believe that gifted children are not perfect role models for normal children because they are more likely to bring inferiority rather than motivation to normal children.
3 As referred to cooperation, we do agree that cooperation is
inevitable in modern society, but it is a false theory that cooperation only exists among children who are in one classroom. Separated education doesn’t mean isolation from each group. Children are separated for class. After class they are not separated.
反方二辩
1 Vertical development of children is uneven, which means
children could change their cognition habits at any stage. Separated education has neglected such a possibility that normal children could change into gifted children when they are encouraged to do some challenging work. Separated education deprived Normal children of challenging tasks; it deprives them of further development.
2We do agree that separated education helps teacher a lot. The
only purpose of education is the development of children; it is the development of every child, no matter who they are. As long as we talk about education, our first focus is children, not teacher, not schoolmaster. We can’t accept separated education just because it saves efforts and time for teachers’ work. If we do, we are putting the cart before the horse.
3We do agree that communication will be smoother among
children who are at the same level, but we expect much more than just a smooth communication when we start a conversation. We always carry some purpose When we communicate with others, for instance, seeking for help, gaining inspiration. And in terms of this, communication among people of different interests, abilities, personalities and backgrounds is more likely to achieve
our purpose of communication. (Q: )Besides, it is a necessary ability to communicate with people of different interests, abilities, personalities and backgrounds.
4 We do agree that there is no absolute fairness, but how could
it be the reason that we stop to pursue fairness? It is negative attitude towards education.
反方总结陈词
Now , i’d like to emphasize some of our points.
At first, seperated education deprive normal children of the right to choose education.The present education in our country is under the environment
of
scarce
resources.We
should
strive
for
fairness.seperated education is a man-made wall that seperated normal children from possility of further development. Eduction should be an important means to maintain social equality. Otherwise, it must be bound to affect social stablity.
Secondly, we can’t negelect the potential danger to get children labelled. No matter what the standards of the seperated education is and how scientific this action is, it is a fact that people like to be treated equally. Seperated education will definitely hurt normal children’s feelings and their parent’s feelings. Everyone here will be fatherhood or motherhood in five years.i think we are not willing to let our children to be classified by stratification at an early age.
Thirdly, we have to keep it in mind that the only purpose of education is the development of children. We can’t accept seperated eduction because it helps teacher a lot. We can’t accept seperated education at the cost of some children’s development. Education aims to take every child into consideraion.
