　　Let children learn *** judge their own w***k. A child learn***g *** talk does not learn by be***g 1 all the ti***. If ***rrect*** ***o much, he will2 talk***g. He not***es a thousand ti***s a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him3. Bit by bit, he makes the ***cessary changes *** make his language4what other people say. In the5way, when children learn *** do all the other th***gs， they learn *** do without be***g t***ght-*** w***k, run, c***mb, whistle, *** ride a b***ycle. They ***mpare those perf***mances 6 those of m***e skill*** people, and slowly make the ********* changes. But *** school we ***ver give a child a chance *** f***d 7 his own mistakes f*** himself, let 8 ***rrect them. We do it all f*** him. We act as if we thought that he would ***ver not***e a mistake u***ess it was po***t*** 9 *** him, *** ***rrect it10he was made ***. Soon he be******s dependent11 the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him w***k 12, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this w***d says, what answer is 13 that problem, whether this is a ***od way of say***g *** do***g this *** not. If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be *** mathemat***s *** science, give him the answer book. Let him ***rrect his own papers. Why ***uld we teachers waste ti*** on such 14 w***k? Our job ***uld be *** help the child when he tells us that he can't f***d a way *** get the right answer. Let's end this15of grades, exams and marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all ***ucat*** persons must so*** day learn, that is, how *** ***asure their own understand***g and how *** know what they know *** do not know. Let them get 16this job *** the way that seems most 17*** them, with our help as school teachers if they ask 18 it. The idea that there is a body of knowl***ge *** be learnt at school and us*** f*** the rest of o***'s ***fe is nonsense *** a w***ld as ***mp***cat*** and rapidly 19as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, "But suppose they fail *** learn so***th***g essential, so***th***g they will ****** *** get *** the w***ld? Don't w***ry! If it is20 , they will *** out ****** the w***ld and learn it."
