鉴于很久没出现了 现在看到这篇文 还是忍不住想发....
不需要说什么“想当年”了吧...
小奥我也不做什么评价 毕竟那时其实是喜欢的 当然 不是说所有人都喜欢...
教小孩子数学的时候 觉得那些“天生对数学抵触”的人 真的是由于没有好的资源
就像 跑步的时候被教练殴打一样
当初一下子考狂补习就考出数学竞赛的人不少 但是还是那句 真的对自己好么?
废话不多说 来看看这个全世界教育界都面临的问题吧...
大家怎么想的??


在被审核....呃... 我内容蛮健康向上的...真的

Pros and Cons of Math Competitions

先是说 微积分陷阱～
因为九年级之后就上完十二年级数学的人很多
大家可以尽情地将括号内的内容忽略～
（（（Mathematics competitions such as MATHCOUNTS and the American Mathematics Competitions are probably the extracurricular math programs with the widest participation.））） The most immediate value of these math contests is obvious – they pique students’ interest in mathematics and encourage them to value intellectual pursuits. Kids love games, and many will turn just about any activity into a contest, or in other words, something to get good at. Math contests thus inspire them to become good at mathematics just like sports encourage physical fitness. Eventually, students put aside the games. By then, hopefully an interest in the underlying activity has developed.
（话外：恩 说得很对...）
Beyond encouraging an interest in mathematics, contests help prepare students for competition. For better or worse, much of life is competition, be it for jobs or resources or whatever. （这也是所有竞赛都会说的吧..）Competition of any sort trains students to deal with success and failure, and teaches them that effective performance requires practice. Moreover, nearly every interesting and worthwhile venture in life comes with some element of pressure; competition teaches students how to handle it.（上升到高度了..）
Despite all the benefits of math contests, they are not an unmitigated good. First of all, not all contests are designed well. Students shouldn’t take too seriously contests that greatly emphasize speed or memorization. （（Curricular contests (particularly calculus contests for high school students) can also be misleading, as they deepen the misconception that there is no more to math than what is in the classroom. Such contests run the risk of encouraging students to overvalue skills that aren’t nearly as valuable as the one asset a contest should help them develop – the ability to think about and solve complex problems.
（除去我不知道生物/信息竞赛是什么样子的 。。这都是一些和中国教育系统没有啥重叠的东东..）））
A second danger of contests is extending kids beyond their ability. Students should certainly be challenged with problems they can’t do from time to time, but if this happens consistently, the experience goes from humbling and challenging to humiliating and discouraging.
（到重点了！！ "but if this happens consistently, ....."   应该没人会说从没有过这种感受吧！尤其实验的～ 每个人应该都有在完全不在自己水平范围内 和别人惨烈竞争的经历吧 无论多么地强。。。 总会有让你目前望而却步的东西。 这中感受真的好么 humiliating and discouraging? 这种东西不可整天做的对不对..??）
A third potential pitfall, burnout, often comes on the heels of the first two. Participants in math contests are just as much at risk of burnout as musicians or athletes.(关键词！ BURNOUT!) Parents, teachers, and the students themselves should be on the lookout for signs of decreased interest, and they must be willing to back off and allow the student to rediscover an interest in mathematics on his or her own. Burnout is particularly pernicious because the end result often isn’t a backlash against competition, but against math in general. Indeed, even students not involved in contests have to watch out for burnout, though the pressure of contests tends to encourage burnout more quickly than the classroom. (可惜的是 在实验 在这个环境之下 我们万一有了burnout 后果必然不会好 一点也不会！ 这种抗拒的心理，尽管不是所有人都有过，是很强烈的。 比如提到数学会难受到哭的孩子，即使本人成绩一点儿不差 但就是一之被迫地忍受burnout的各种副作用... 还有那些身在数学班 但觉得自己不是数学班料的人--其实很多人的数学跟别人比都是不错 但就是受不了这种竞赛之类 让人绝望东西 才会有抵触)

老实说… 现在没人上这了

。。。。

话说我前几天被百度block了...
没人上这?嘿嘿 是不是应该发到家长论坛啊..
走走走 复习高考去 别到时我把你们带坏了..那就罪人了
