新西兰代写作业:杜威的实验学校

虽然我承认许多伟大的教育实践最初是在杜威的实验学校发展起来的,但我不能不注意到其中存在的根本缺陷。如果我把杜威在他的学校里展示的东西应用到今天的教育界,我认为他的体系会失败。第一个原因是,杜威似乎是通过“玫瑰色的眼镜”来看待教育的。在我看来,教育理论应该适用于任何情况。我想到杜威在他的学校里所做的一切,在那里,家庭生活被大量地纳入了课堂课程。但是,那些来自破碎家庭的孩子呢?正如我们在当今社会经常看到的那样。如果一个孩子在酗酒的父母的监督下受到虐待或遭受痛苦,而这些父母又不太关心孩子的教育,那么这又如何符合杜威的理论呢?杜威的学校可能会在这样的情况下运作得很好,一个孩子有非常支持他的父母,他们对孩子的教育非常感兴趣,但在当今世界,这种情况有多少次不是这样呢?纽约大学(New York University)的作家兼教育家亨利?佩金森(Henry Perkinson)对杜威的实验学校发表评论说,“杜威的教育哲学描绘了一所学校或一项学校事业,它从未存在过,或许也永远不可能存在。”要实现这一目标,就需要超级教师和超级学生”(佩金森)。虽然我认为杜威把教育带向了正确的方向,但我认为他首先需要找到一种方法来发展一种适用于每个学生的教育理论。

While I do admit that a lot of great education practices were first developed at Dewey’s laboratory school, I cannot help but notice the fundamental flaws that existed in it. If I was to apply what Dewey showcased in his school to today’s world of education, I think his system would fail. The reason for this is first that Dewey seemed to be looking at education through “rose colored glasses” so to speak. In my opinion, a theory on education should be able to apply to any situation. I think about what Dewey had put together in his school, where the home life was heavily incorporated into the class curriculum. But, what about children that come from broken homes, as we see so often in today’s society? If a child is being abused or suffering under the watch of alcoholic parents, who could care less about their child’s education, how would that fit into Dewey’s system? Dewey’s school would probably work well in a case where a child has very supportive parents that are extremely interested in their child’s education, but how often is that not the case in today’s world? Henry Perkinson, an author and educator at New York University, makes a comment about Dewey’s lab school saying, “Dewey’s educational philosophy depicts a school or school enterprise that never existed and probably never could exist. To carry it out would require superteachers and superstudents” (Perkinson). While I believe Dewey is taking education in the right direction, I think he first needs to find a way to develop a theory on education that can apply to each and every student.
