第一篇



Recently I attended several meetings where we talked about
ways to retain students and keep younger faculty members from
going elsewhere.

It seems higher education has become an industry of
meeting- holders whose task it is to — real or
imagined. And in my position as a professor at three different
colleges, the actual problems in educating our young people and
older students have deepened, while the number of people hired
— not to teach but to hold meetings — has increased significantly.
Every new problem creates a new job for an administrative fixer.

Take our Center for Teaching Excellence. Contrary to its title, the
center is a clearing house (信息交流中心) for using technology
in classrooms and in online courses. It's an administrative sham
(欺诈) of the kind that has multiplied over the last 30 years.


I offer a simple proposition in response: Many of our
problems — class attendance, educational success, student
happiness and well-being — might be improved by cutting down
the bureaucratic (官僚的) mechanisms and meetings and instead
hiring an army of good teachers. If we replaced half of our
administrative staff with classroom teachers, we might actually get
a majority of our classes back to 20 or fewer students per teacher.
This would be an environment in which teachers and students
actually knew each other.


The teachers must be free to teach in their own way — the
curriculum should be flexible enough so that they can use their
individual talents to achieve the goals of the course. Additionally,
they should be allowed to teach, and be rewarded for doing it well.
Teachers are not people who are great at and consumed by
research and happen to appear in a classroom. Good teaching and
research are not exclusive, but they are also not automatic

companions. Teaching is an art and a craft, talent and practice; it
is not something that just anyone can be good at. It is utterly
confusing to me that people do not recognize this, despite the fact
that pretty much anyone who has been a student can tell the
difference between their best and worst teachers.
