Students who do well in school might get to skip a grade. They move up to learn with older kids and face tougher work. But this has its problems too. We asked some young reporters if they think kids should skip grades. They gave good reasons for both sides. Here are some of their answers. What do you think?
在学校表现好的学生可能会跳级。他们跳级是为了和大一点的孩子一起学习,面对更艰巨的任务。但这也有它的问题。我们问了一些年轻的记者,他们是否认为孩子应该跳级。他们为双方都给出了充分的理由。以下是他们的一些答案。你觉得呢?
Students should be allowed to skip grades, but that doesn’t mean all students should do it. Advanced students may learn more in a higher grade, but it may be hard for them to make friends. Grade-skippers risk getting bullied for their age or academic skills. For the kids who really want to skip a grade, go ahead. Skipping a grade has its pros and cons, but students should be allowed the choice. — Meyer Ballas, 12
学生应该被允许跳级,但这并不意味着所有的学生都应该这样做。高水平的学生可能会在更高的年级学到更多,但他们可能很难交到朋友。跳级者可能会因为他们的年龄或学习技能而受到欺负。对于那些真的想跳级的孩子,请便吧。跳级有利有弊,但应该允许学生选择。——Meyer Ballas, 12岁
Education is important, but so is being social. If a student skips a grade, they may struggle to find friends, and can feel left out. This can also affect learning. Instead, schools can place students into classes based on their academic level. My old school did this for classes I was good at, such as math and writing. I was able to socialize with classmates my age while being challenged. This is a win-win situation. I believe this should be done at more schools. — Nate Rhew, 13
教育很重要,但社交也很重要。如果一个学生跳级,他们可能很难找到朋友,感觉被冷落了。这也会影响学习。相反,学校可以根据学生的学术水平将他们分组。我以前的学校对我擅长的课程也这么做,比如数学和写作。我能够在受到挑战的同时与同龄人交往。这是一个双赢的局面。我认为更多的学校应该这样做。——Nate Rhew, 13岁
Students should not skip grades. Kids deserve the time to grow without being rushed through valuable experiences. Feeling this pressure could negatively affect a student’s self-confidence. Social intelligence is just as important as academic intelligence, because it allows you to find out who you are. I think there is a better way to push students academically while letting them be social. Advanced classes offer kids the flexibility to grow as students — but, when the break between classes comes, they can have fun in a social environment that helps them thrive. —Vivian Goldhirsh, 11
学生不应该跳级。孩子们应该有时间成长,而不是匆忙地经历宝贵的经历。这种压力会对学生的自信心产生负面影响。社交智力和学术智力一样重要,因为它能让你发现自己是谁。我认为有一个更好的方法来推动学生的学业,同时让他们参与社交活动。高级课程为孩子们提供了作为学生成长的灵活性——但是,当课间休息时,他们可以在一个帮助他们茁壮成长的社会环境中享受乐趣。——vivian Goldhirsh,11岁
