A材料题回答11-15题Goal of American Education Education is an enormous expensive part of American Lfie Its size is matched by its variety. Differences in American schools compared with those found in the majority of other comuntries lie in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyone--not just for a privileged elite. Schools are expected to meet the needs of every child, regardless of ability,also the needs of society itself. This means that public schools offer more than academic subjects. It surprises many people when they come here to find high schools offering such courses as typing,sewing, radio repair, computer programming or driver training,along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics, history,languages. Students choose their curricula depending on their interests,future goals, level of ability. The underlying goal of American education is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities,to give each one a sense of civic community consciousness. Schools have traditionally played an important role in creating national unity "Americanizing" the millions of immigrants who have poured into this country from many different backgrounds origins. Schools still play a large role in the community, especially in the small towns.The approach to teaching may seem unfamiliar to many, not only because it is informal, but also because there is not much emphasis on learning facts. Instead, Americans try to teach their children to think for themselves to develop their own intellectual creative abili- ties. Students spend much time,learning how to use resource materi- als,libraries,statistics computers. Americans believe that if chil- dren are taught to reason well to research well, they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives. Knowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation of facts. This is America's answer to the searching question that thought- ful parents all over the world are asking themselves in the fast-mov- ing time:"How can one prepare today's child for a tomorrow that one can neither predict nor understand?"11.
