?{{B}}Goal of American Education{{/B}} ? ?Education is an enormous
and expensive part of American life. Its size is matched by its
variety. ? ?Differences in American schools compared with those
found in the majority of other countries 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, and 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, and languages. Students choose their curricula depending on their
interests, future goals, and level of ability. The underlying goal of American
education is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own
possibilities, and to give each one a sense of civic and community
consciousness. ? ?Schools have traditionally played an important
role in creating national unity and "Americanizing" the millions of immigrants
who have poured into this country from many different backgrounds and 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 and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities.
Students spend much time, learning how to use resource materials, libraries,
statistics and computers. Americans believe that if children are taught to
reason well and 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 thoughtful parents all over
the world are asking themselves in the fast-moving time: "How can one prepare
today’s child for a tomorrow that one can neither predict nor
understand?"
According to the passage, American education meets the needs of all the following EXCEPT
