****************Part one Problems with us Education***************
Listening Script one
When I was in college I had an English major and for a while I considered going into teaching. While I was exploring the possibility of becoming a teacher, I did a lot of thinking about the way that the education system in the United States is run. And I disagree with a lot of the ways that things seem to happen and have happened for a long time in our educational system.
Uh ... people don't seem to recognize various kinds of intelligence; they seem to just want to give standardized tests and peg you for what you are capable of very early on your education. I've always felt that a lot of classes that you’re forced to take in high school are not really geared towards what you are going to be doing. There’s very little emphasis on your own special interests. Uh ... everybody’s sort of treated like they're the same person. Everything is very generalized. There’s a lot of uh ... there’s a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible. I think being well-rounded isn’t really possible because it becomes impossible to develop any one part of yourself, um ... to any great degree. And as a result people can’t get into good colleges if they, yaknow, haven’t, yaknow, scored the ... the right thing on the math section of SAT, even if they are brilliant writers, and vice versa. You know, um... people just really are not given a chance, I think, in a lot of cases.
Another thing that really disturbs me is the way that students are separated from each other. I got involved with vocational education, uh ... which means that the kids go out to a technical or trade school for part of the week, and then they come back to the home school for the other part of the week and they take their academic classes. However, those kids are kept separate from the rest of the school almost as if they’re below them. There’s a lot of stratification. Um ... at any rate I feel that the kids are very aware of the way that they’re perceived by the educators, by their teachers and, yaknow, by their peers. And I think that it ... it causes them to act in a way that... is ... not really optimal. And that’s pretty sad to me. I actually had kids tell me when I was teaching them, “yaknow, we’re the just bad class; we... yaknow, it’s not that we have a problem with you personally; yaknow, we are just bad. We are bad kids” because pretty much that was what they felt they were. And yaknow, their classes were very limiting, uh the teachers never try to do anything creative with those classes. I think that many of the kids in that class were intelligent, but never actually realized their potential because of the way they were tracked very early on their education.

Margaret Warner: Mr. Unz. Why do you believe that bilingual education should be scrapped?
Ron Unz: Well, the overwhelming practical evidence is that bilingual education has failed on every large scale case that’s been tried in the United States, in particular in California. The origins of this initiative was the case last year of a lot of immigrant Latino parents in downtown LA, who had to begin a public boycott of their local elementary school to try to force the school to give their children the right to be taught English, which the school was denying. And I think that really opened my eyes to the current state of the program in California, where the statistics are dreadful.
Margaret Warner: Mr. Lyons.
Janies Lyons: It is not the case that bilingual education is failing children. There are poor bilingual education programs, just as there are poor programs of every type in our schools today. But bilingual education has made it possible for children to have continuous development in their native language, while they're in the process of learning English, something that doesn't hap pen overnight, and it’s made it possible for children to learn math and science at a rate equal to English-speaking children while they’re in the process of acquiring English.
Margaret Warner: Mr. Unz, what about that point — for these children who don't speak English well they will fall behind in the basic subjects if they can't be taught those in Spanish, or whatever language? I shouldn’t say just Spanish, but whatever their family’s language is.
Ron Unz: That’s a very reasonable point. And to the extent that we’re talking about older children. 14 or 15 year olds who come to the United States, don't know any English and are put in the public schools I think a very reasonable case can be made for bilingual education. I don’t know if it’s correct, but at least you can make a case for it. But most of the children we're talking about enter California or America public schools when they’re five or six or seven. At the age of five years old, the only academic subjects a child is really doing is drawing with crayons or cutting and, you know, with paper and that type of thing. And at that age children can learn another language so quickly and easily that the only reasonable thing to do is to put them in a program where they're taught English as rapidly as possible and then put into the mainstream classes with the other children so they can move forward academically.
Margaret Warner: There is something to that point, isn’t there, Mr. Lyons, that very young children do absorb languages very quickly?
James Lyons: They absorb certain facets of language very quickly. They learn to speak in an unaccented form like a native English speaker. But the research shows that actually adults are much more efficient and quicker language learners than children because they're working from a broader linguistic base, a greater conceptual base. I really take objection to what Mr. Unz is saying that children at the age of five, six, and seven are only coloring and cutting out paper. That isn't going to lead to the high standards.
*********************Part two Arts Education *******************
Listing script one
Interviewer: Professor Gardner, what did you find in your studies to be the biggest difference between arts education in the United States and arts education in China? What struck you most, then?
Gardner: I was so struck by the differences between arts education in the United States and arts education in China. US youngsters love to explore and think that they explore very well; and yet, without the requisite discipline, their products are typically of little interest — except perhaps to their doting parents.
Education in all of the arts in China is very precisely prescribed. Teachers and parents know exactly what they want children to be able to do and they know how to get the desired behaviour and performance in almost perfect fashion. On the other hand, there is little free exploration.
But I must add another surprise. When young children in China were given a novel task in the arts, they performed very well. Before visiting China, I had thought that young people must always begin with a period of free exploration, before they begin to acquire discipline and skills. After visiting China and thinking about what I had seen, I came to a different conclusion. It is not important that one "explore" first; what is important is that one has a significant period for exploration, either before, during, or after one has acquired some discipline.
Interviewer: As you might have noticed, these days after-school classes in music, dance, painting and calligraphy are very popular in China, although many of the "young emperors" might not be so willing to learn all these "extra skills." What's your opinion on this?
Gardner: The fewer children you have, and the more resources at your disposal, the more likely you are to give your children every form of enrichment. China has thousands of years of history of encouraging talent development, so it is not at all a surprise that many kids are taking after-school arts classes. But what children do when their parents push them, is very different than what they do when they grow up, and their parents are no longer in control of the rewards and punishment. By and large, those grown up students who continue their area of talent are those who use the talent professionally and those who gain intrinsic pleasure from the activity.
Interviewer: In recent years, art museums and community arts centres have been mushrooming in China as the country experiences rapid modernization and internationalization. How do you balance arts education in schools and arts education beyond school Walls?
Gardner: It is entirely to the good that students now have opportunities to learn about the arts outside of class — in museums, in children’s palaces, through the electronic media, community centres, and outdoor installations. Very often children learn much more comfortably and personally in what we call “informal educational settings.”
Optimally, there should be a division of labour between schools and informal settings. As just one example: Schools could focus more on providing history and cultural background — whereas museums might provide the opportunity to learn about special topics, or probe into a topic more deeply.
Listening Script two
Ann: Do you find there’s much opportunity... to do other things, besides studying, during term- time? I mean, if you have a, a very academic course, you say the social life is good, but you might not always have time to, er, enjoy it, if you ... have a lot...
Ian: Not being a very academic course, I wouldn’t know.
Ann: How about you, Tony?
Tony: I suppose ... a business course isn’t particularly academic, if you like, but, er, I certainly find quite enough time to do newspapers and ... all I want to do on the social side. [Yes] Go to dances and so, on.
Ian: But then you work till five in the morning, don’t you? [Laughter]
Tony: Let’s not bring personalities into this!
Ann: D'you think that a lot of students, are interested in producing things like newspapers and plays and writing poetry?
Tony: No, but a lot of students like to have those things and a few students like to do them. This is why, I mean if you had—out of a college of, what is it, fifteen hundred students — if you had five hundred students going along to the Drama Club on the first week of term ... they try and mount two productions out of five hundred people. It’d be absolutely impossible. Yet, there are those, the sufficient people to see, what is it, twenty, thirty people, doing those productions. It’s the same with the newspaper.
Ann: Yes. But erm, I think this is because more students haven’t got the confidence to show the work they do. I think a lot of students write things and paint, in the background, and just don’t like to er ...
Ian: Er, I think, I think myself, they’re just not interested, in [You don’] sort of taking part in joint efforts. They prefer just to erm, well, they might write poetry on their own or something, but they were asked to write something for a newspaper, they wouldn’t be interested.
Ann: Is this because the courses are too difficult? They have too much academic work, as I said before?
Tony: I think it’s all psychological, to bring a nice big word into it! Erm ... those students think they shouldn’t do it, because they think they won’t have [Mm] time and so on. I think this is the thing. It’s not a question of not having enough time. It’s just organizing it. I mean, Ian says I stay up till five in the morning or whatever, you know, never go to bed till two. [Yes] You can, if you, if you’re determined to do something, you can arrange it. You can say, “Okay, I’ll do the newspaper between lectures finishing at four, or whatever, and go home at six”, and you have two hours a day on the newspaper, say. You know, [Yes] just, say, this is a way of organizing things. A lot of other
