突破口语之独白(14):The best kind of education最好的教育

“There is much debate as to the best kind of education for students today.  Some think private schools are tops. A lot of money goes into these schools and the programs are usually of a high quality, yet the tuition¹ fees are often more than the average person can afford. Others think that given a good administration² and teachers who care, public schools can offer good educations as well. One problem is that classes in public schools tend to have many more students than private schools, and therefore individual attention can sometimes suffer. Generally, however, quality is based on the individual schools and student interests rather than whether the schools are publicly or privately³ funded.”

当今，关于什么才是给予学生的最好的教育这个问题是有很大争议的。有些人认为私立学校是首选。这些学校聚集了大批资金，因而通常有着较高的教学质量。然而学费却不是一般人能够支付得起的。另有些人则认为如果学校管理较好，老师也负责任的话，公立学校同样也能够提供良好的教育环境。问题之一是公立学校的班级人数往往比私立学校的多，因而，个人受注意的程度便会降低。然而，一般说来，质量跟各所学校各自的情况及学生的兴趣有关，而不是看学校到底是政府出资还是个人集资。
