Some people think that teachers should be responsible for teaching students to judge what is right and wrong and how to behave well. Others say that teachers should only teach students academic subjects. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
题目解读
本题是一道非常经典的讨论学校教育目的的双观点议论文，难度较低。范文采用中立结构，首先在第一个主体段分析了为什么有人认为老师应该仅仅教授文化课；然后在第二个主体段论证了道德教育的重要性；最后在第三个主体段总结了学校教育的主要重点应该放在学术科目上，但教师也应该在适当的时候帮助学生区分是非，并进一步说明教师可以示范道德行为，并将价值观讨论融入日常教学中，从而促进全面发展，而不会压倒学术课程。
参考范文
There is an ongoing debate about whether teachers should assume responsibility for students’ moral development in addition to their academic education. While some argue that a teacher’s primary role is to foster intellectual growth, others believe that educators also have a duty to guide students in understanding ethics and appropriate behavior. This essay will delve into these perspectives and propose a balanced viewpoint.
On the one hand, many people contend that teachers should focus solely on delivering academic knowledge. Given the increasing complexity of school curricula, teachers already face considerable pressure to ensure students meet academic standards. Adding the task of teaching moral values could detract from valuable instructional time and dilute the primary mission of schools, which is to prepare students for higher education and future employment. Moreover, values and beliefs are often culturally sensitive, and teachers may unintentionally impose their own perspectives, leading to conflict with the educational viewpoints of the student‘s family.
On the other hand, proponents of moral education argue that schools are not isolated from society and that developing responsible citizens should be part of their role. Students spend a significant portion of their formative years in school, making it an ideal environment to instill principles such as honesty, respect, and empathy. Furthermore, academic knowledge alone is insufficient for personal success and social harmony; character development is equally important in shaping individuals who can contribute positively to society.
In my view, while the main focus of education should remain on academic subjects, teachers should also help students distinguish right from wrong where appropriate. Rather than formal "moral classes," teachers can model ethical behavior and integrate discussions of values into everyday teaching, thus promoting well-rounded development without overwhelming the academic curriculum.
In conclusion, although there are valid arguments on both sides, a balanced approach that combines academic teaching with moral guidance seems most beneficial for students' overall growth.
