Throughout China, there has been a strong emphasis on quality education. However, schoolwork is still a heavy weight on pupils'' back. Write a short argumentative essay(about 300 words)explaining your point of view.
Since the 1980s, debates have been fueled on the ideal means of education. Some observers often emphasize that although schoolwork is regarded as a heavy weight on pupils’back, it improves students’ understanding and proficiency in a particular subject. However, through decades of practice and observation, it turns out that their statement has many restrictions.
Admittedly, the idea held by those arguers does contain an element of truth. For example, excessive school assignments, the symbols of academic burden, can successfully boost the academic ability of a student in certain subjects, literal arts in particular. But these arguers tend to ignore two other essential aspects. First, they fail to take into account the possibility that a student overwhelmed with a gigantic task of spelling or calculating is often deprived of other potentials such as imagination and creation, which are equally important for the sustainable development of a child. In this sense, the monotonous academic practice is not always synonymous to the inspiration of a balanced and healthy personality. Second, the arguers’ assertion doesn’t provide sufficient data to narrow down the exact correlation between the amount of assignment and the future academic success. Therefore, any further conclusion addressing the problem must be based on thorough investigation. As a matter of fact, the educational approach orientated in the mastery and memory of certain information often crams a learner with irrelevant facts or confusing logic. By comparison, quality education tends to be ideal, for it aims at boosting one’s ability, inspiring one’s imagination and cultivating one’s understanding of the world. Given reasons above, the argument that the increase of academic training is central in the development of one’s quality, under a careful scrutiny, turns out to be groundless in its hasty conclusion.
What measures should be taken so that people can benefit from the current educational system? For one thing, the learners, teenagers in particular, are expected to enhance their awareness that examinations are not the sole purpose of their study. For another thing, teachers and educationalists are obliged to initiate creative projects that tailor to the sustainable development of a child. Only in this way can a child enjoy the greatest from their learning, thus paving a way for their prospective career. (361 words)
