children learn to judge their own work. A child {{U}} {{U}} 1
{{/U}} {{/U}}to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if
corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices the differences between the
languages be uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he
{{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}the necessary changes to make his
{{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}like other people's: In the same way,
children learning to do all the other things learn to do without being taught—to
walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle—{{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}}
{{/U}}their own performances with those of more skilled people, and {{U}}
{{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}make the needed changes. But in school we never
give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct
them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a
mistake unless it was {{U}} {{U}} 6 {{/U}} {{/U}}out to him, or
correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes {{U}} {{U}} 7
{{/U}} {{/U}}on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the
{{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}} {{/U}}of other children if he wants it,
what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good
way of saying or doing this or not. If it is a matter of right answers, as it
may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his
own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such {{U}} {{U}}
9 {{/U}} {{/U}}work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells
us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let's end all this
nonsense of grades, exams, and marks. Let us {{U}} {{U}} 10
{{/U}} {{/U}}them all out, and let the children learn what all educated
persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know
what they know or do not know. A. compare

routine B. learning G.
dependent L. pointed C.
