Lesson 1 Text A Fixed subjects and curricula are likely to go into the melting pot and school themselves, if not as physical locations then at least as places exclusively for children, are threatened with extinction. 固定的学科和课程可能会融为一体，学校自身若不是因为实际位置，那么至少会因为只招收儿童而面临灭绝的威胁。 2. Because the tradition they were established to pass on became a dead weight, because school became an institution instead of an approach to life, because there was too much emphasis on the written words, too much subject-division, too much authoritarianism----in a word, too much school and not enough learning. 因为他们所建立并延续的传统已成为沉重的负担，因为学校已成为一个机构而非一种生活方式，因为有太多的教条、太细的科目划分、太注重权威――总而言之，太多的正规教育而缺乏足够的自我学习。 3.

What is needed is not equal treatment for everybody, but provision for each individual of a suitable education at a suitable pace for his particular needs. 单纯地增加学校的数量并非解决问题之道。我们所需要的不是千篇一律地对待每个人，而是根据个人需要以合适的速度为他们提供合适的教育。 6. Schools, insofar as they continue to exist as we have known them, cease, under this system, to be reserved to children and become places of learning for future and present adults. 在此体系下，那些为人熟知的学校，便不再专为儿童所设
