为什么需要保护野生动物英语作文(热门20篇)

Last week, I visited the geological museum with my best friend, Liu Bing.

It was my first time to go there. The moment we arrived there, we found that the

building was grand. When we walked into it, there was a big hall in front of us.

And then there were several rooms to show different kinds objects. There was a

room for collecting scripts and paintings. There was another room to store

clothes and shoes in the old times. The next room was for collecting the daily

necessities in the old days. In a word, all the things in it had a long history.

I learnt some knowledge from it.

The earth is our mother, is the survival of our homes. With the improvement of living standards, while enjoying the human, but unknowingly destroyed her, our living environment is deteriorating.

At ordinary times is ok, we eat a piece of gum, chewing freely to spit on the ground, after chewing gum stuck firmly on the ground, cleaning workers to use shovels to get it off, and gum also pollute the land. We often when shopping, use large and small plastic bags, plastic bags but dont know by fire, and produce toxic gases after the landfill is not easy to degrade after, can also lead to land is destroyed, the population of China is so much, you can imagine how many plastic bags in the pollution of our environment.

A persons environmental action is like a lamp, when everybody lit the lamp, the whole world would be bright! Lets get started! Dont eat chewing gum; Dont use plastic bags; Dont use disposable chopsticks... Protect the environment, everyone duty! Let our earth more beautiful!

地球是我们的母亲，是我们赖以生存的家园。随着生活水平的提高，人类在享受的同时，却在不知不觉地破坏她，我们的生存环境不断恶化。

平时没事时，我们就吃一块口香糖，嚼完后随口吐在地上，口香糖牢牢地粘在地上，清洁工人得用铲子才能把它弄掉，而且口香糖也污染土地。我们经常在购物时，会用到大大小小的塑料袋，却不知塑料袋被火烧后会制造有毒气体，填埋后还不容易降解，还会导致土地被破坏，中国人口这么多，可想而知会有多少塑料袋在污染我们的环境。

一个人的环保行动就像是一盏灯，当大家都点燃自己的那盏灯，整个世界就会一片光明!让我们行动起来吧!不吃口香糖;不用塑料袋;不用一次性筷子…保护环境，人人有责!让我们的地球更加美丽!

With big eyes， there is an emergency ears like flying up to now。 You guess what？ Let me guess， is the rabbit。

A rabbits eyes like ruby， of course， I also gave a name to my rabbit called ruby。 Because the rabbit eyes glistened like ruby。

眼睛大大的，有紧急情况耳朵像飞的一样竖起来了。大家猜猜是什么？猜不到吧，就是兔子。

兔子的眼睛像红宝石一样，当然，我也给我的兔子起了一个名字叫红宝石。因为兔子的眼睛像红宝石一样亮晶晶的。

记得有一次，妈妈带我去散步，我带着我的红宝石来到了公园。红宝石想起了它多年的家，由于红宝石是在公园里长大的，但是他的爸爸妈妈却消失得无影无踪，我也知道兔子很可怜，但是我也没有找到它的亲人。兔子很快就竖起耳朵跑了起来，可能是伤心了，我追了很久才追到。

这就是我最喜欢的小动物。聪明、可爱的红宝石。

【参考译文】

如今，越来越多的人认识到环境保护的必要和重要性。同时，有些人整天都不注意卫生，而且他们不能停止乱扔垃圾或者随意，随地吐痰。此外，还有一些工厂经常砍伐树木，化学品和污水排放等。并导致像温室效应问题很多。如果他们现在这样做，我们的生活会越来越困难，所以我们必须阻止他们。阻止他们，我们可以贴公益广告，告诉他们破坏环境的危害。所以我们可以从现在开始做一个美好的生活。

今天早上，奶奶带我去买菜，一进菜市场，便发现菜场边围了许多人，我好奇地凑过去一看，不看不知道，一看吓一跳，原来是一位年青人在卖青蛙。只见那位年青人从一只蛇皮袋里捉出一只青蛙，青蛙在年青人手中拼命地挣扎，年青人拿出一把尖刀朝青蛙的肚皮上划了一刀，然后伸手掏出青蛙的五脏六腑，剥了青蛙的“绿大衣”，青蛙悲惨地叫了一声，便死于非命了，我看得心惊胆颤，十分心痛那些青蛙。

青蛙是捉害虫能手，它是对农作物有益的小动物，它的身体的颜色和草的颜色接兵，这样便于它利用伪装来捕捉猎物，它的舌头长长的，沾满了黏液，只要小害虫从身边飞过，它就猛地往上一跳，张开大嘴，从速伸出长长的舌头，一下子把害虫捉住吃掉，青蛙每天平均要吃70多只害虫，一年就能吃1万多只害虫，这是多么大的数字呀!试想一下，如果没有了青蛙保护庄稼，害虫大量繁殖，庄稼遭秧了，最后受害的将是我们人类自己。

青蛙还是歌唱家，每到夏天的夜晚，只要有一只青蛙叫得欢，就会有几十只青蛙甚至几百只青蛙跟 着回应，耳边听着欢快的“呱呱声”仿佛是一支优美的交响曲，伴我入睡。

可是随着人类有意和无意识的破坏，青蛙的数量逐年减少，所以保护青蛙是我们每一个人的责任，行动起来吧，抵制青蛙上餐桌，宣传青蛙是人类的朋友，不要让青蛙从地球上消失，留住可爱的生命。

因为，有很多昆虫都对人类有益。比如说：蜜蜂，它很勤劳，每天早上很早就出去采蜜，一次又一次。到了天黑，吃几口蜜糖后，就马不停蹄地对采来的蜜进行加工。蜜蜂的外形并不起眼，生命也很短暂，只有3个月左右;可它一生都不休息，勤勤恳恳地工作，它们对人类毫无所求，却为人们酿造了甘甜可口、营养丰富、可医治病痛的蜂蜜。

还有青蛙，青蛙披着碧绿的衣裳，两只大眼睛，像两颗晶莹透明的玻璃球，它藏在田里，专吃害虫，保护庄稼。它捉害虫的时候两条后腿一蹬，一纵身，敏捷地将后腿一蜷，跳起老高，长长的舌头一伸，就像一个吸尘器一样转眼就把害虫吃到肚子里去了。可是，我们人类却把它们当成美味佳肴摆在餐桌上。

还有许多可爱的动物，我最喜欢的是大熊猫。大熊猫是我国珍贵的动物，妈妈告诉我大熊猫还是我们国家的国宝呢!大熊猫长的很可爱，胖乎乎、圆滚滚的，走起路来一摇一晃的，特别逗人。它的头部和身体都是白色的，只有眼圈、耳朵和肩部是黑褐色的。特别是那一对黑黑的眼圈，长在白白的脸上，像是戴着一副墨镜，加上那笨拙的动作和走起路来东张西望的神情，显得像个小绅士。

你瞧!它们多么可爱，它们是我们人类的好朋友，我们怎么忍心伤害它们呢

前几天我嚷嚷着让爸爸给我买鱼，他答应了。我们来到一个叫“海洋一族”的水族馆。

[我喜欢的动物英语作文及翻译

Many animals are in danger of dying out. As is shown in the chart, we can

see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will

continue. From 1980 to 2010, at least 1 million animal species have disappeared.

Worse still, more and more wild animals are in great danger. It is not a piece

of sensational news; it is a fact, a harsh reality. Unfortunately, we may not

see these animals in the near future.

From the second picture, we can find some reasons. Why is the number of

animal species declining year by year? Apparently animals have become victims of

fashion industry. Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and

these clothes sell at a high price. So some greedy people begin to kill animals

in a large quantity. This irresponsible behavior not only breaks the balance of

nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings.

As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal

action. We believe "no buying, no killing". First, we must make concerning laws

to protect these animals in danger. Second, we must take some measures to

protect animals effectively. Animals are our friends and part of our

environment. Third, we should raise peoples awareness to protect animals and

our environment. In this way, we can build a harmonious society and ensure a

sustainable development.

I like small animals have kitten doggie and so on, but my favorite is I buy small crabs.

Remember it was a Sunday, Zhao Yifan to seek me to play, we go out and see there is an old woman in sell crabs, we went to the old woman beside him, said: "grandma, we are going to two crabs." grandma gave us two, we returned home I hurriedly put a basin of wash in clean water, put the crab to the inside, Im afraid crabs dont adapt to the environment, and to put too many POTS I pick up the small stone on the beach, I carefully observe small crabs, see them as a battle-hardened general, commanding, a pair of round eyes can spirit, I touch it, its big claws waving up immediately.

One day, I went to see crabs found that there are many soil and leaves in the water, I will give it in water, holding it, I thought I will hurt it, will try very hard to of struggle, after a while it has no strength, I good the water was going to put it back, it with the tongs lived my fingers, I how to jilt also to throw off, I had to put it in the water, "it was slowly loosen the pliers.

I very like my little crabs, because it brings me a lot of fun, outside my study is to accompany me to play, it let me grow a lot of extra-curricular knowledge.

我喜欢的小动物有小猫小狗等等,但我最喜欢的还是我买的小螃蟹.

记得那是一个星期天,赵逸凡来找我玩,我们一出门便见有一位老奶奶在卖螃蟹,我们走到老奶奶身旁说:"老奶奶我们要两只螃蟹."老奶奶给了我们两只,我们回到家我连忙把一个脸盆洗了洗放进净水,把螃蟹放到了里面,我怕螃蟹不适应环境,又往盆里放了许多我在海边捡的小石头,我仔细观察小螃蟹,只见它们像久经沙场的将军,威风凛凛,一双圆溜溜的眼睛可精神了,我一碰它,它的大钳子立刻就挥舞起来.

有一天,我去看螃蟹发现水里有许多土和树叶,我就给它换水,我捏着它,它还以为我要伤害它,就拼命的挣扎,过了一小会它没有力气了,我接好水正想把它放回去时,它用钳子夹住了我的手指,我怎么甩也甩不掉,我只好服输把它放到水里,它这才慢慢地松开了钳子.

我非常喜欢我的小螃蟹,因为它给我带来了许多乐趣,在我学习之外都是它陪我玩,让我增长了许多课外知识.

With the improvement of our living standard， more and more people can afford a car. As a result，our roads are more often than not crammed with cars.

However，with more and more waste gas being discharged by the cars，the problem of air pollution bees even more serious. So nowadays we advocate to lead a low-carbon life.

My suggestion is we should ride bikes more often instead of driving cars.By riding a bike， we can not only exercise our body but also protect our environment.

Why not have a try， my dear friends?

与我们的生活水平的提高，越来越多的人都买得起汽车的。因此，道路往往没有堆满了汽车。然而，随着越来越多的废气排放是汽车、空气污染问题变得更加严重。所以此刻我们提倡过低碳的生活。

我的推荐是我们就应更经常骑自行车而不是开车骑一辆自行车，我们不仅仅能锻炼身体，也能保护我们的环境。为什么不试试，我亲爱的朋友?

Nowadays, more and more people realize it`s necessary and important to protect the environment. Also,there are some people who don`t pay attention to hygiene and they can`t stop littering the rubbish casually or spitting everywhere all the time.And in addition, there are a few factories often cutting down the trees, discharging chemicals and dirty water and so on.And it causes many problems like the Greenhouse Effect.If they do these day by day and our life will be harder and harder,so we have to stop them. To stop them we can put up commonweal advertisements and tell them the detriment of destroying the environment.So we can start from now to make a beautiful life.

Advice on Protecting Wild Animal

Many animals are in danger of dying out。 As is shown in the chart， we can see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will continue。 From 1980 to 2010， at least 1 million animal species have disappeared。 Worse still， more and more wild animals are in great danger。 It is not a piece of sensational news; it is a fact， a harsh reality。 Unfortunately， we may not see these animals in the near future。

很多动物频临灭绝的危险。图表显示，我们能够看到动物物种数量下降的速度越来越快，而且这种趋势将会持续下去。从1980年到2010年，至少有100万动物物种已经消失。更糟糕的是，越来越多的野生动物处于巨大的危险中。这不是一则耸人听闻的新闻，这是一个事实，一个残酷的事实。不幸的是，将来我们可能看不到这些动物了。

From the second picture， we can find some reasons。 Why is the number of animal species declining year by year? Apparently animals have bee victims of fashion industry。 Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and these clothes sell at a high price。 So some greedy people begin to kill animals in a large quantity。 This irresponsible behavior not only breaks the balance of nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings。

从第二幅图我们能够找到一些原因。为什么动物物种的数量一年年的减少呢?显然，动物成为了时尚工业的受害者。动物的皮被用来做时髦的衣服，而且这些衣服都是高价出售。因此，一些贪婪的人就开始超多屠杀动物。这种不负职责的行为不仅仅打破了自然的平衡，而且使人类居住环境陷入危险。

As far as I am concerned， something must be done to stop this illegal action。 We believe "no buying， no killing"。 First， we must make concerning laws to protect these animals in danger。 Second， we must take some measures to protect animals effectively。 Animals are our friends and part of our environment。 Third， we should raise peoples awareness to protect animals and our environment。 In this way， we can build a harmonious society and ensure a sustainable development。

在我看来，我们务必要做些什么来阻止这种违法行为。我相信“没有买，就没有杀”。首先，我们务必制定有关法律来保护这些处于危险中的动物。其次，我们务必采取一些措施有效的保护动物。动物是人类的朋友，也是我们环境的一部分。再次，我们就应提高人们保护动物和环境的意识。这样一来，我们就能够建立一个和谐的社会，确保其可持续发展。

全市的小朋友们：

小动物是我们人类的好朋友，请求大家好好保护它们吧!

Animals are friends of human beings. An animal is dependent on the human, also, the human also cannot leave the animals.

Long, long ago, animals and humans are a good friend. They help each other, rely on each other, get along with, who also cannot leave the who. However, with the passage of time, because of human beings, the animals with human relations soured, and there are more and more serious trend.

First of all, human beings to animals is wanton killing, on the one hand, caused a substantial reduction in animals, on the other hand also caused the animals to human hostile, to some extent destroy the animals with human friendly relationship. In fact, for a long time, the behavior of the human animal cruelty has not rested, eat eat peacock, owls, monkey, red-crowned cranes, bear bile absorption, is really to the point of "all things" entrance! What do you want to, so can not cause animal angry? How can you make animals not to stand up and fought back? This is also the animal attack humans, even damage the important reason of human life.

Second, with the progress of human society, some bad behaviors of human beings, not only destroyed the earths environment, and damage to the animals living environment. Factory sewage, automobile exhaust, deforestation of forests and other bad behavior, have caused serious damage to nature, and at the same time there are opposite to the nature of the direct damage caused by animals that makes the animal difficult to live, the type and quantity less and less, destroy the balance of the ecosystem, eventually make human to destruction.

Visible, the relationship between animals and humans have come to the point where serious deterioration, at the same time, also pose a threat to the survival of mankind itself. Humans are still can such wrong-headed, impenitence? ! I think that human beings should be timely change their bad habits, to love animals, protect earths environment.

As a primary school student, we should start from me, start from now, to take care of our nature, protect the animals around us.

Let us act together, take care of animals, people for the ethical treatment of animals, and become a good friend of animals, to improve the relationship between the animals and humans to make their due contribution!

动物是人类的朋友。动物离不开人类，同样，人类也离不开动物。

很久很久以前，动物和人类是一对好朋友。他们互相帮助、互相依靠、和睦相处，谁也离不开谁。但是，随着时间的推移，由于人类自身的原因，造成了动物与人类的关系恶化，而且有越来越严重的趋势。

首先，人类对动物的肆意捕杀，一方面造成了动物的大量减少，另一方面也造成了动物对人类的敌意不断增强，一定程度上破坏了动物与人类的友好关系。事实上，一直以来，人类残害动物的行为一直没有停息过，吃孔雀、吃猫头鹰、吃猴脑、吃丹顶鹤、吸熊胆，真是到了“万物皆入口”的地步!您想，这样怎么能不引起动物的愤怒呢?怎么能让动物不挺身而出、奋起反击呢?这也是造成了动物攻击人类、甚至伤害人类生命的重要原因。

其次，随着人类社会的不断进步，人类自身的一些不良行为，不仅破坏了地球环境，也破坏到了动物的生存环境。工厂的污水、汽车的尾气、对森林的过度砍伐等不良行为，都对大自然造成了严重的破坏，同时也对生存在大自然的动物造成了直接的伤害，使动物生存艰难，种类、数量越来越少，破坏了整个生态系统的平衡，最终使人类走向灭亡。

可见，动物与人类的关系已经到了严重恶化的地步，同时，也威胁到了人类自身的生存。人类难道还能这样执迷不悟、不知悔改吗?!我想，人类应该及时改变自身的不良习惯，爱护动物，保护地球环境。

作为一名小学生，我们应该从我做起，从现在做起，爱护我们的大自然，保护我们周围的动物。

让我们大家一起行动起来，爱护动物，善待动物，成为动物的好朋友，为改善动物与人类的关系做出自己应有的贡献吧!

With the development of science and technology, peoples living standards are getting higher and higher, environmental problems are more and more serious, you found it?

Lets talk about water pollution! Gas stations and other factories always put the water without purification to the river, resulting in small fish without home. 50% of our country can not use clean water, this figure is not terrible? So saving water is imminent, you still waste it?

Lets talk about the problem of reducing trees! Now a lot of trees have been cut down by us, so the dust storm came, the flood came, nature to revenge us. We all know that the use of disposable chopsticks are made of trees, if each of us every day can use a pair of disposable chopsticks, one year down can keep ten thousand trees, see this time, you are still presumptuous Behavior?

Lets take a look at the sky, the blue sky is gone, the white clouds are hidden, is it really gone? No, they are just "smoke" by the smoke from the factory.

These are water caused by it? Are our own human beings, if not felling of trees, garbage, a reasonable discharge of purified sewage, I believe our planet will be beautiful. Protect everyone from the earth, let us work together to protect the environment!

随着科技的发展，人们的生活水平也越来越高，环境问题也越来越严重了，你们发现了吗?

咱们就来说说水被污染的问题吧!加油站和其他工厂总是把未经过净化处理的水排放到河里，导致小鱼没有了家。我们国家有百分之五十一的人都无法用到干净的水，这样的数字难道不可怕吗?所以节约用水已是迫在眉睫，你还在浪费吗?

我们再来说说树木减少的问题吧!现在好多树木已经被我们砍伐叻，所以沙尘暴来了，洪水来了，大自然来报复我们了。我们都知道使用的一次性筷子都是用树木做的，如果我们每个人每天可以少用一双一次性筷子，一年下来就可以保留千万棵树木，看到这时，你还在放肆自己的行为吗?

我们再来看看那天空，蓝蓝的天不见了，白白的云也藏起来了，是真的没有了吗?不是的，它们只是被工厂排放的浓烟给“保护”起来了。

这些都是水造成的呢?都是我们人类自己，如果不乱砍伐树木、垃圾，合理排放净化过的污水，相信我们的地球就会很美。保护地球人人有责，让我们一起来保护环境吧!

我们要保护野生动物，因为我们保护野生动物，野生动物对我们人类也会很友好。

比如说燕子，燕子能帮我们把田里的害虫吃掉。如果我们人类杀害捕捉它们，它们会吃掉那些常常来搔扰我们的蚊子，让我们更好地生活吗?没有了燕子，我们的周围变得很多害虫，这些害虫对我们人类有很大的坏处呀!

我还举个例子。比如说青蛙，青蛙也能帮我们吃田里的害虫，可以说是田里的警察。我们支捕杀他们，一旦没有了青蛙，田里的害虫越来越多，害虫不断地吃菜，难道我们会有美好的丰收吗?

我还举个例子。比如说啄木鸟，啄木鸟是森林中的医生，它可以帮我们吃掉树里的害虫，让树恢复健康。我们杀害它们，树木的害虫会越来越多，树木会慢慢地减少。地球上没有树，会发洪水、地震。

我最后举个例子。比如说猫头鹰，猫头鹰捉田鼠，是对我们人类有好处的，人类却常常捕猎它们。没有猫头鹰，田鼠会增加。田鼠吃的庄稼和菜就更多了，我们人类一样没有好的收成。

所以，我们要保护以上的动物。同时，我们还要保护其他的野生动物!

作文素材：请放过野生动物

【素材】

2017年2月，有网友晒出一名被戏称为“穿山甲公主”的女子，称其在微博上多次晒出食用穿山甲等野味的照片。

根据截图显示，该微博主名为“绽放的多多”，其在2011年9月8日曾发微博表示，“第一次吃穿山甲血炒饭，很特别。”当晚，“绽放的多多”还称喝了用八种动物熬了5小时的汤，“有穿山甲、蛇、天鹅肉……长辈的盛情难却，硬着头皮喝了两碗下去，确实很滋补，因为刚刚我就流鼻血了。”2012年，该微博主又发微博称，“好客的廖总提前叫人炖了四小时的冬虫草穿山甲汤，非常美味。”

除了食用穿山甲等动物外，“绽放的多多”还曾在微博中晒出被关在笼子里的猫头鹰和穿山甲等照片。“穿山甲公主”事件引发广泛关注后，2月14日，深圳城市管理局就此事发布最新通报称，2月13日18时许，深圳市公安局森林分局将家住深圳市宝安区的“绽放的多多”微博主带回归案，接受调查。目前该案件正在进一步调查中，调查进展将会及时公布。

【素材解读】

长期以来，针对猎杀、贩卖野生保护动物的事件，不管是执法还是舆论关注上，焦点大多集中在链条的前几个环节，即捕杀、贩卖及经营，而对整个链条末端的食客，缺乏有效的监管和惩治手段。因此，许多人认为好食野味仅是个人喜好，别人管不着，有的甚至以食用国家重点保护的野生动物为荣，四处炫耀。没有买卖就没有杀害，而食用是野生动物非法买卖的最根本的驱动力量。非法猎杀贩卖、购买食用野生保护动物，就像一枚硬币的两面，一面写着利益、一面写着欲望。要是不能管住非法食用者的嘴，国家重点保护野生动物被杀害、端上餐桌的现象就很可能屡禁不止。目前，我国经济社会发展已经越过上述阶段，个别地方食用野生动物的陋习应该摈弃。但生态伦理、生态文明的发展有一定的滞后性，应该冷静、理性、客观地看待这一现象，并通过人工驯养、采用替代品等方式来加以引导。

2. Damaging Research

A study by National Parent-Teacher Organization revealed that in the average American school, eighteen negatives are identified for every positive that is pointed out. The Wisconsin study revealed that when children enter the first grade, 80 percent of them feel pretty good themselves, but by the time they get to the sixth grade, only 10 percent of them have good self-images.

3. Education and Citizenship

An important aspect of education in the United States is the relationship between education and citizenship. Throughout its history this nation has emphasized public education as a means of transmitting democratic values, creating equality of opportunity, and preparing new generations of citizens to function in society. In addition, the schools have been expected to help shape society itself. During the 1950s, for example, efforts to combat racial segregation focused on the schools. Later, when the Soviet Union launched the first orbiting satellite, American schools and colleges came under intense pressure and were offered many incentives to improve their science and mathematics programs so that the nations would not fall behind the Soviet Union in scientific and technological capabilities.

Education is often viewed as a tool for solving social problems, especially social inequality. The schools, t is thought, can transform young people from vastly different backgrounds into competent, upwardly mobile adults. Yet these goals seem almost impossible to attain. In recent years, in fact, public education has been at the center of numerous controversies arising from the gap between the ideal and the reality. Part of the problem is that different groups in society have different have different expectations. Some feel that children should be taught basic job-related skills; still others believe education should not only prepare children to compete in society but also help them maintain their cultural identity (and, in the case of Hispanic children, their language). On the other hand, policymakers concerned with education emphasize the need to increase the level of student achievement and to improve parents in their children’s education.

Some reformers and critics have called attention to the need to link formal schooling with programs designed to address social problems. Sociologist Charles Moscos, for example, is a leader in the movement to expand programs like the Peace Corps, Vista, and Outward Bound into a system of voluntary national service. National service, as Moscos defines it, would entail “the full-time undertaking of public duties by young people whether as citizen soldiers or civilian servers-who are paid subsistence wages” and serve for at least one year. In return for this period of service, the volunteers would receive assistance in paying for college or other educational expenses.

Advocates of national service and school-to-work programs believe that education does not have to be confined to formal schooling. In devising strategies to provide opportunities for young people to serve their society, they emphasize the educational value of citizenship experiences gained outside the classroom. At this writing there is little indication that national service will become a new educational institution in the United States, although the concept is steadily gaining support among educators and social critics.

4. The Teacher’s Role

Given the undeniable importance of classroom experience, sociologists have done a considerable amount of research on what goes on in the classroom. Often they start from the premise that, along with the influence of peers, students’ experiences in the classroom are of central importance to their later development. One study examined the impact of a single first-grade teacher on her students’ subsequent adult status. The surprising results of this study have important implications. It is evident that good teachers can make a big difference in children’s lives, a fact that gives increased urgency to the need to improve the quality of primary-school teaching. The reforms carried out by educational leaders like James Comer suggest that when good teaching is combined with high levels of parental involvement the results can be even more dramatic.

Because the role of the teacher is to change the learner in some way, the teacher-student relationship is an important part of education. Sociologists have pointed out that this relationship is asymmetrical or unbalanced, with the teacher being in a position of authority and the student having little choice but to passively absorb the information provided by the teacher. In other words, in conventional classrooms there is little opportunity for the students to become actively involved in the learning process. On the other hand, students often develop strategies for undercutting the teacher’s authority: mentally withdrawing, interrupting, and the like. Hence, much current research assumes that students and teachers influence each other instead of assuming that the influence is always in a single direction.

5. Education Philosophy

For the past fifty years our schools have operated on the theories of John Dewey (1859-1953), an American educator and writer. Dewey believed hat the school’s job was to enhance the natural development of the growing child, rather than to pour information, for which the child had no context, into him or her. In the Dewey system, the child becomes the active agent in his own education, rather than a passive receptacle for facts.

Consequently, American schools are very enthusiastic about teaching “life skills” –logical thinking, analysis, creative problem--solving. The actual content of the lessons is secondary to the process, which is supposed to train the child to be able to handle whatever life may present, including all the unknowns of the future. Students and teachers both regard pure memorization as an uncreative and somewhat vulgar.

In addition to “life skills”, schools are assigned to solve the ever growing stoke of social problems. Racism, teenage pregnancy, alcoholism, drug use, reckless driving, and are just a few of the modern problems that have appeared on the school curriculum.

This all contributes to a high degree of social awareness in American youngsters.

6. Student Life

To the students, the most notable difference between elementary school and the higher levels is that in junior high they start “changing classes”. This means that rather than spending the day in one classroom, they switch classrooms to meet their different teachers. This gives them three or four minutes between classes in the hallways, where a great deal of the important social action of high school traditionally takes place. Students have lockers in these hallways, around which thy congregate.

Society in general does not take the business of studying very seriously. Schoolchildren have a great deal of free time, which they are encouraged to fill with extracurricular activities—sports, clubs, cheerleading, scouts—supposed to inculcate such qualities as leadership, sportsmanship, ability to organize, etc. those who don’t become engaged in such activities or have afterschool jobs have plenty of opportunity to “hang out”, listen to teenager music, and watch television.

Compared to other nations, American students do not have much homework. Studies also show that American parents have lower expectations for their children’s success in school than other nationalities do. (Historically, there has not been much correlation between American school success and success in later life.) “He’s just not a scholar”, the American parents might say, content that their son is on the swim team and doesn’t take drugs. (Some of the young do choose to study hard, for reason of their own, such as determining that the road to riches lies through Harvard Business School.)

What American schools do effectively teach is the competitive method. In innumerable ways children are pitted against each other—whether in classroom discussion, spelling bees, reading groups, or tests. Every classroom is expected to produce a scattering of A’s and F’s (teachers often grade A=excellent; B=good; C=average; D=poor; and F=failed). A teacher who gives all A’s looks too soft—so students are aware that they are competing for the limited number of top marks.

Foreign students sometimes don’t understand that copying from other people’s papers or from books is considered wrong and taken seriously. Here, it is important to show that you have done your own work and are displaying your own knowledge. It is more important than helping your friends to pass, whom we think do not deserve to pass unless they can provide their own answers. Group effort goes against the competitive grain, and American students do not study together as many Asians do. Many Asians in this country consider their group study habits a large contributor to their school success.

7. Adult Education

After complaining about many aspects of American life, a 40-year-old woman from Hong Kong concluded, “But where else could someone my age go back to school and get a degree in social work? Here you can change your whole life, start a new business, do what you really want to do.”

So at least to this person, school requirements weren’t inhibiting. And to millions of others, adult education is the path to a new career, or if not to a new career, to a new outlook. Schools generally encourage the older person who wants to start anew, and besides regular classes, schedule evening classes in special programs. Today there are so many people of retirement age in college that it is no longer remarkable.

8. Moral Relativism in American

Improving American education requires not doing new things but doing (and remembering) some good old things. At the time of our nation’s founding, Thomas Jefferson listed the requirements for a sound education in the Report of the Commissioners for the University of Virginia. In this landmark statement on American education, Jefferson wrote of the importance of education and writing, and of reading history, and geography. But he also emphasized the need “to instruct the mass of our citizens in these, their rights, interests, and duties, as men and citizens.” Jefferson believed education should aim at the improvement of both one’s “morals” and “faculties”. That has been the dominant view of the aims of American education for over two centuries. But a number of changes, most of them unsound, have diverted schools from these great pursuits. And the story of the loss of the school’s original moral mission explains a great deal.

Starting in the early seventies, “values clarification” programs started turning up in schools all over America. According to this philosophy, the schools were not to take part in their time-honored task of transmitting sound moral values; rather, they were to allow the child to “clarify” his own values (which adults, including parents, had no “rights” to criticize). The “values clarification” movement didn’t clarify values; it clarified wants and desires. This form of moral relativism said, in effect, that no set of values was right or wrong; everybody had an equal right to his own values; and all values were subjective, relative, and personal. This destructive view took hold with a vengeance.

In 1985 The York Times published an article quoting New York area educators, in slavish devotion to this new view, proclaiming, “They deliberately avoid trying to tell students what is ethically right and wrong.” The article told of one counseling session involving fifteen high school juniors and seniors. In the course of that session a student concluded that a fellow student had been foolish to return one thousand dollars she found in a purse at school. According to the article, when the youngsters asked the counselor’s opinion, “He told them he believed the girl had done the right thing, but that, of course, he would not try to force his values on them. ‘If I come from the position of what is wrong,’ he explained, ‘then I’m not their counselor.’”

Once upon a time, a counselor offered counselor, and he knew that an adult does not form character in the young by taking a stance of neutrality toward questions of right and wrong or by merely offering “choices” or “options”.

In response to the belief that adults and educators should teach children sound morals, one can expect from some quarters indignant objections (I’ve heard one version of it expressed countless times over the years): “Who are you to say what’s important?” or “Whose standards and judgments do we use?”

The correct response, it seems to me, is, is we ready to do away with standards and judgments? Is anyone going to argue seriously that a life of cheating and swindling is as worthy as a life of honest, hard work? Is anyone (with the exception of some literature professors at our elite universities) going to argue seriously the intellectual corollary, that a Marvel comic book is as good as Macbeth? Unless we are willing to embrace some pretty silly position, we’ve got to admit the need for moral and intellectual standards. The problem is that some people tend to regard anyone who would pronounce a definitive judgment as an unsophisticated Philistine or a closed-minded “elitist” trying to impose his view on everybody else.

The truth of the real world is that without standards and judgments, there can be no progress. Unless we are prepared to say irrational things—that nothing can be proven more valuable than anything else or that everything is equally worthless—we must ask the normative question. It may come, as a surprise to those who fell that to be “progressive” is to be value-neutral. But as Matthew Amold said, “the world is forwarded by having its attention fixed on the best things” and if the world can’t decide what the best things are, at least to some degree, then it follows that progress, and character, is in trouble. We shouldn’t be reluctant to declare that some things, some lives, books, ideas, and values are better than others. It is the responsibility of the schools to teach these better things.

At one time, we weren’t so reluctant to teach them. In the mid-nineteenth century, a diverse, widespread group of crusaders began to work for the public support of what was then called the “common school”, the forerunner of the public school. They were to be charged with the mission of school felt that the nation could fulfill its destiny only if every new generation was taught these values together in a common institution.

The leaders of the common school movement were mainly citizens who were prominent in their communities—businessmen, ministers, local civic and government officials. These people saw the schools as upholders of standards of individual morality and small incubators of civic and personal virtue; the founders of the public schools had faith that public education could teach good moral and civic character from a common ground of American values.

But in the past quarter century or so, some of the so-called experts became experts of value neutrality, and moral education was increasingly left in their hands. The commonsense view of parents and the publicthat schools should reinforce rather than undermine the values of home, family, and country, was increasingly rejected.

There are those today still that claim we are now too diverse a nation, that we consist of too many competing convictions and interests to instill common values. They are wrong. Of course we are a diverse people. We have always been a diverse people. And as Madison wrote in FederalistNo.10, the competing, balancing interests of a diverse people can help ensure the survival of liberty. But there are values that all American citizens share and that we should want all American students to know and to make their own: honesty, fairness, self-discipline, fidelity to task, friends, and family, personal responsibility, love of country, and belief in the principles of liberty, equality, and the freedom to practice one’s faith. The explicit teaching of these values is the legacy of the common schools, and it is a legacy to which we must return.

9. Schools Should Teach Values

People often said, “Yes, we should teach these values, but how do we teach them?” this question deserves a candid response, one that isn’t given often enough. It is by exposing our children to good character and inviting its imitation that we will transmit to them a moral foundation. This happens when teachers and principals, by their words and actions, embody sound convictions. As Oxford’s Mary Warnock has written, “You cannot teach morality without being committed to morality yourself; and you cannot be committed to morality yourself without holding that some things are right and others wrong.” The theologian Martin Buber wrote that the educator is distinguished from all other influences “by his will to take part in the stamping of character and by his consciousness that he represents in the eyes of the growing person a certain selection of what is, the selection of what is ‘right’, of what should be.” It is in this will, Buber says, in this clear standing for something, that the “vocation as an educator finds its fundamental expression.”

There is no escaping the fact that young people need as example principals and teachers who know the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, and who themselves exemplify high moral purpose.

As Education Secretary, I visited a class at Waterbury Elementary School in Waterbury, Vermont, and asked the students, “Is this a good school?” They answered, “Yes, this is a good school.” I asked them, “Why?” Among other things, one eight-year-old said, “The principal Mr. Riegel, makes good rules and everybody obeys them.” So I said, “Give me an example.” And another answered, “You can’t climb on the pipes in the bathroom. We don’t climb on the pipes and the principal doesn’t either.”

This example is probably too simple to please a lot of people who want to make the topic of moral education difficult, but there is something profound in the answer of those children, something education should pay more attention to. You can’t expect children to take messages about rules or morality seriously unless they see adults taking those rules seriously in their day-to-day affairs. Certain must be said, certain limits lay down, and certain examples set. There is no other way.

We should also do a better job at curriculum selection. The research shows that most “values education” exercises and separate courses in “moral reasoning” tend not to affect children’s behavior; if anything, they may leave children morally adrift. Where to turn? I believe our literature and our history are a rich quarry of moral literacy. We should mine that quarry. Children should have at their disposal a stock of examples illustrating what we believe to be right and wrong, good and bad—examples illustrating what are morally right and wrong can indeed be known and that there is a difference.

What kind of stories, historical events, and famous lives am I talking about? If we want our children to know about honesty, we should teach them about Abe Lincoln walking three miles to return six cents and conversely, about Aesop’s shepherd boy who cried wolf if we want them to know about courage, we should teach them about Joan of Arc, Horatius at the bridge, and Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. If we want them to know about persistence in the face of adversity, they should know about the voyages of Columbus and the character of Washington during the Civil War. And our youngest should be told about the Little Engine That Could. If we want them to know about respect for the law, they should understand why Socrates told Crito: “No, I must submit to the decree of Athens.” If we want our children to respect the rights of others, they should read the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, the Gettysburg Address, and Martin Luther King, Jr.’ “Letter from Birmingham jail.” From the Bible they should know about Ruth’s loyalty to Naomi, Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers, Jonathan’s friendship with David, the Good Samaritan’s kindness toward a stranger, and David’s cleverness and courage in facing Goliath.

These are only a few of the hundreds of examples we can call on. And we need not get into issues like nuclear war, abortion, creationism, or euthanasia. This may come as a disappointment to some people, but the fact is that the formation of character in young people is educationally a task different from, and prior to, the discussion of the great, difficult controversies of the day. First things come first. We should teach values the same way we teach other things: one step at a time. We should not use the fact that there are many difficult and controversial moral questions as an argument against basic instruction in the subject.

After all, we do not argue against teaching physics because laser physics is difficult, against teaching American history because there are heated disputes about the Founders’ intent. Every field has its complexities and its controversies. And every field has its basics, its fundamentals. So they are too with forming character and achieving moral literacy. As any parent knows, teaching character is a difficult task. But it is a crucial task, because we want our children to be healthy, happy, and successful but decent, strong, and good. None of this happens automatically; there is no genetic transmission of virtue. It takes the conscious, committed efforts of adults. It takes careful attention.

10. College Pressures

Mainly I try to remind that the road ahead is a long one and that it will have more unexpected turns than they think. There will be plenty of time to change jobs, change careers, change whole attitudes and approaches. They don not want to hear such liberating news. They want a map—right now – that they can follow unswervingly to career security, financial security, Social Security and, presumably, a prepaid grave.

What I wish for all students is some release from the clammy grip of the future. I wish them a chance to savor each segment of their education as an experience in itself and not as a grim preparation for the next step. I wish them the right to experiment, to trip and fall, to learn that defeat is as instructive as victory and is not the end of the world.

My wish, of course, is na?ve. One of the national gods venerated in our media—the million-dollar athlete, the wealthy executive—and glorified in our praise of possessions. In the presence of such a potent state religion, the young are growing up old.

I see four kinds of pressure working on college students today: economic pressure, parental pressure, peer pressure, and self-induced pressure. It is easy to look around for villains—to blame the colleges for charging too much money, the professors for assigning too much work, the parents for pushing their children too far, and the students for driving themselves too hard. But there are no villains: only victims.

“In the late 1960s.” one dean told me. “The typical question that I got from students was ‘Why is there so much suffering in the world’ or ‘how I can make a contribution?’ Today it’s ‘Do you think it would look better for getting into law school if I did a double major in history and political science, or just majored in one of them?’” many other deans confirmed this pattern. One said: “They are trying to find an edge—the intangible something that will look better on paper if two students are about equal.”

Note the emphasis on looking better. The transcript has become a sacred document, the passport to security. How one appears on paper is more important than how one appears in person. A is for Admirable and B is for Borderline, even though, in Yale’s official system of grading, A means “excellent” and B means “very good.” Today, looking very good is no longer good enough, especially for students who hope to go on to law school or medical school. They know that entrance into the better schools will be an entrance into the better law firms and better medical practices where they will make a lot of money. They also know that the odds are harsh. Yale Law School, for instance, matriculates 170students from an applicant pool of 3,700; Harvard enrolls 550 from a pool of 7,000.

It’s all very well for those of us who write letters of recommendation for our students to stress the qualities of humanity that will make them good lawyers or doctors. And it’s nice to think that admission officers are ready reading our letters and looking for the extra dimension of commitment or concern. Still, it would be hard for a student not to visualize these officers shuffling so many transcripts studded with As that they regard a B as positively shameful.

The pressure is almost as heavy on students who just want to graduate and get a job. Long gone are the days of the “gentleman’s C.” when students journeyed through college with a certain relaxation, sampling a wide variety of courses-music, art, philosophy, classics, anthropology, poetry, religion—that would send them out as liberally educated men and women. If I were an employer I would rather employ graduates who have this range and curiosity than those who narrowly pursued safe subjects and high grades. I know countless students whose inquiring minds exhilarate me. I like to hear the play of their ideas. I do not know if they are getting As or Cs, and I do not care. I also like them as people. The country needs them, and they will find satisfying jobs. I tell them to relax. They cannot.

Nor can I blame them. They live in a brutal economy. Tuition, room, and board at most private colleges now come to at least $7,000, not counting books and fees. This might seem to suggest that the colleges are getting rich. But they are equally battered by inflation. Tuition covers only 60 percent of what it costs to educate a student, and ordinarily the remainder comes from what college receives in endowments, grants, and gifts. Now, the remainder keeps being swallowed by the cruel costs—higher every year—of just opening the doors. Heating oil is up. Insurance is up. Postage is up. Health-premium costs are up. Everything is up. Deficits are up. We are witnessing in American the creation of a brotherhood of paupers—colleges, parents, and students, joined by the common bond of debt.

Today it is not unusual for a student, even if he works part time at college and full time during the summer, to accrue $5,000 in loans after four years—loans that he must start to repay within one year after graduation. Exhorted at commencement to go forth into the world, he is already behind as he goes forth. How could he not feel under pressure throughout college to prepare for this day of reckoning? I have used “he,” incidentally, only for brevity. Women at Yale are under no less pressure to justify their expensive education to themselves, their parents, and society. In fact, they are probably under more pressure. For although they leave college superbly equipped to bring fresh leadership to traditionally male jobs, society has not yet caught up with this fact.

Along with economic pressure goes parental pressure. Inevitably, the two are deeply intertwined.

I see many students taking pre-medical courses with joyless tenacity. They go off to their labs as if they were going to the dentist. It saddens me because I know tem in other corners of their life as cheerful people.

“Do you want to medical school?” I asked them.

“I guess so,” they say, without conviction, or “Not really.”

“Then why are you going?”

“Well, my parents want me to be a doctor. They are paying all this money and …”

Poor students, poor parents, they are caught in one of the oldest webs of love and duty and guilt. The parents mean will; they are trying to steer their sons and draughts toward a secure future. But the sons and daughter want to major in history or classics or philosophy—subjects with no “practical” value. Where’s the payoff on the humanities? It’s not easy to persuade such loving parents that the humanities do indeed pay off. The intellectual faculties developed by studying subjects like history and classics—an ability to synthesize and relate, to weigh cause and effect, to see events in perspective—are just the faculties that make creative leaders in business or almost any general field. Still, many fathers would rather put their money on courses that point toward specific profession—courses that are pre-law, pre-medical, pre-business, or, as I sometimes heard it put, “pre-rich.”

But the pressure on students is severe. They are truly torn. One part of them feels obliged to fulfill their parents’ expectations; after all, their parents are older and presumably wiser. Another part tells them that the expectations that are right for their parents are not right for them.

I know a student who wants to be an artist. She is very obviously an artist and will be a good one—she has already had several modest local exhibits. Meanwhile she is growing as a well-round person and taking humanistic subjects that will enrich the inner resources out of which her art will grow. But her father is strongly opposed. He thinks that an artist is a “dumb” thing to be. The student vacillates and tries to please everybody. She keeps up with her art somewhat furtively and takes some of the “dumb” courses her father wants her to take—at least they are dumb courses for her. She is a free spirit on a campus of tense students—no small achievement in it—and she deserves to follow her muse.

Peer pressure and self-induced pressure are also intertwined, and they begin almost at the beginning of freshman year.

“I had a freshman student I’ll call Linda,” one dean told me, “who came in and said she was under terrible pressure because her roommate, Barbara, was much brighter and studied all the time. I could not tell her that Barbara had come in two hours earlier to say the same thing about Linda.”

The story is almost funny—except that it is not. It is symptomatic of all the pressure put together. When every student thinks every other student is working harder and doing better, the only solution is to study harder still. I see students going off to the library every night after dinner and coming back when it closes at midnight. I wish they would sometimes forget about their peers and go to a movie. I hear the clacking of typewriters in the hours before dawn. I see the tension in their eyes when exams are approaching and papers are due: “Will I get everything done?”

Probably they won’t. They will get blocked. They will sleep. They will oversleep. They will bug out.

Part of the problem is that they are expected to do. A professor will assign five page papers. Several students will start writing ten page papers to impress him. Then more students will write ten page papers, and a few will raise the ante to fifteen. Pity the poor student who is still just doing the assignment.

“Once you have twenty or thirty percent of the student population deliberately overexerting,” one dean points out, “It’s bad for everybody. When a teacher gets more and more effort from his class, the student who is doing normal work can be perceived as not doing well. The tactic work, psychologically.”

Why cannot the professor just cut back and not accept longer papers? He can, and he probably will. But by then the term will be half over and the damage done. Grade fever is highly contagious and not easily reversed. Besides, the professor’s main concern is with his course. He knows his students only in relation to the course and does not know that they are also overexerting in their other courses. Nor is it really his business. He did not sign up for dealing with the student as a whole person and with all the emotional baggage the student brought along from home. That’s what deans, masters, chaplains, and psychiatrists are for.

To some extent this is nothing new: a certain number of professors have always been self-contained islands of scholarship and shyness, more comfortable with books than with people. But the new pauperism has widened the gap still further, for professors who actually like to spend time with students do not have as much time to spend. They are also overexerting. If they are young, they are busy trying to publish in order not to perish, hanging by their figure nails onto a shrinking profession.

If they are old and tenured, they are buried under the duties of administering departments—as departmental chairmen or members of committees—that have been thinned out by the budgetary axe.

Ultimately it will be the students’ own business to break the circles in which they are trapped. They are too young to be prisoners of their parents’ dreams and their classmates’ fears. They must be jolted into believing into themselves as unique men and women who have the power to shape their own future.

“Violence is being done to the undergraduate experience,” says Carlos Hortas. “College should be open-ended: at the end it should open many, many roads. Instead, students are choosing their goal in advance, and their choices narrow as they go along. It’s almost as if they think that the country has been codified in the type of jobs that exist-that they’ve got to fit into certain slots. Therefore, fit into the best paying slot.”

“They ought to take chances. Not taking chances will lead to life of colorless mediocrity. They’ll be comfortable. But something in the spirit will be missing.”

I have painted too drab a portrait of today’s students, making them seem a solemn lot. That is only half of their story; if they were so dreary I wouldn’t so thoroughly enjoy their company. The other half is that they are easy to like. They are quick to laugh and to offer friendship. They are not introverts. They are usually kind and are more considerate of one another than any student generation I have known.

Nor are they so obsessed with their studies that they avoid sports and extracurricular activities. On the contrary, they juggle their crowded hours to play on a variety of teams, perform with musical and dramatic groups, and write for campus publications. But this in turn is one more cause of anxiety. There are too many choices. Academically, they have 1,300 courses to select from; outside class they have to decide how much spare time they can spare and how to spend it.

This means that they engage in fewer extracurricular pursuits than their predecessors did. If they want to row on the crew and play in the symphony they will eliminate one; in the ‘60s they would have done both. They also tend to choose activities that are self-limiting. Drama, for instance, is flourishing in all twelve of Yale’s residential colleges, as it never has before. Students hurl themselves into these productions—as actors, directors, carpenters, and technicians—with a dedication to create the best possible play, knowing that the day will come when the run will end and they can get back to their studies.

They also cannot afford to be the willing slave of organizations like the Yale Daily News. Last spring at the one-hundredth anniversary banquet of that paper—who’s past chairmen include such once and future kings as Potter Stewart, Kingman Brewster, and William F. Buckley, Jr.—much was made of the fact that the editorial staff used to be small and totally committed and that “newsies” routinely worked fifty hours a week. In effect they belonged to a club; Newsies is how they defined themselves at Yale. Today’s students will one or two articles a week, when he can, and he defines himself as a student. I’ve never heard the word Newsie except at the banquet.

If I have described the modern undergraduate primarily as a driven creature who is largely ignoring the blithe spirit inside who keeps trying to come out and play, it’s because that’s where the crunch is, not only at Yale but throughout American education. It’s why I think we should all be worried about the values that are nurturing a generation so fearful of risk and so goal-obsessed at such an early age.

I tell students that there is no one “right” way to get ahead—that each of them is a different person, starting from a different point and bound for a different destination. I tell neither them that change is a tonic and that all the slots are not codified nor the frontiers closed. One of my ways of telling them is to invite men and women who have achieved success outside the academic world to come and talk informally with my students during the year. They are heads of companies or ad agencies, editors of magazines, politicians, public officials, television magnates, labor leaders, business executives, Broadway products, artists, writers, economists, photographers, scientists, historians—a mixed bag of achievers.

I asked them to say a few words about how they got started. The students assume that they started in their present profession and knew all along that it was what they wanted to do. Luckily for me, most of them got into their field by a circuitous route, to their surprise, after many detours. The students are startled. They can hardly conceive of a career that was not pre-planned. They can hardly imagine allowing the hand of God or chance to nudge them down some unforeseen trail.

11. To Err Is Wrong

In the summer of 1979, Boston Red Sox first baseman Carl Yastrzemski became the fifteenth player in baseball history to reach the three thousand hit plateaus. This event drew a lot of media attention, and for about a week prior to the attainment of this goal, hundreds of reports covered Yaz’s every more. Finally, one reporter asked, “Hey Yaz, aren’t you afraid all of this attention will go to your head?” Yastrzemski replied, “I look at this way: in my career I’ve been up to bat over ten thousand times. That means I’ve been unsuccessful at the plate over seven thousand times. That fact alone keeps me from getting a swollen head.”?

Most people consider success and failure as opposites, but they are actually both products of the same process. As Yaz suggest, an activity that produces a hit may also produce a miss. It is the same with creative thinking; the same energy that generates good creative ideas also produces errors.

Many people, however, are not comfortable with errors. Our educational system, based on “the right answer” belief, cultivates our thinking in another, more conservative way. From an early age, we are taught that right answers are good and incorrect answers are bad. This value is deeply embedded in the incentive system used in most schools:

Right over 90% of the time = “A”

Right over 80% of the time = “B~”

Right over 70% of the time = “C~” Right over 60% of the time = “D~” Less than 60% correct, you fail.

From this we learn to be right as often as possible and to keep our mistakes to a minimum. We learn, in other words, that “to err is wrong.

Playing It Safe

With this kind of attitude, you aren’t going to be taking too many chances. If you learn that failing even a litter penalizes you (e.g., being wrong only 15% of the time garners you only a “B” performance), you learn not to make mistakes. And more important, you learn not to put yourself to situation where you might fall. This leads to conservative thought pattern designed to avoid the stigma our society puts on “failure”.

I have a friend who recently graduated from college with a Master’s degree in Journalism. For the last six month, she has been trying to find a job, but to no avail. I talked with her about situation, and realized that her problem is that she doesn’t know how to fail. She went through eighteen years of schooling to try any approaches where she might fail. She has been conditioned to believe that failure is bad in and of itself, rather than a potential stepping-stone to new ideas.

Look around. How many middle managers, housewives, administrators, teachers, and other people do you see who are to try anything new because of this failure? Most of us have learned not to make mistakes in public. As a result, we remove ourselves from many learning experience except for those occurring in the most private of circumstances.

Different Logic

From a practical point of view, “to err is wrong” makes sense. Our survival in the everyday world requires us to perform thousand of small tasks without failure. Think about it: you wouldn’t last very long if you were to step out in front of traffic or stick your hand a pot of boiling water. In addition, engineers whose bridges collapse, stock brokers who lose money for their clients, and copywriters whose ad campaigns decrease sales won’t keep their jobs very long.

Nevertheless, too great an adherence to the belief “to err is wrong” can greatly undermine your attempts to generate new ideas. If you are more concerned with producing right answers than generating original ideas, you’ll probably make uncritical use of the rules, formulae, and procedures used to obtain these right answers. By doing this, you’ll by-pass the germinal phase of the creative process, and thus spend litter time testing assumptions, challenging the rules, asking what-if questions, or just playing around with the problem. All of these techniques will produce some incorrect answers, but in the germinal phase errors are viewed as a necessary by-product of creative thinking. As Yaz would put it, “if you want the hits, be prepared for the misses.” That’s the way the game of life goes.

Errors as Stepping Stones

Whenever an error pops up, the usual response is “Jeez, another screw up, what went wrong this time?” the creative thinker, on the other hand, will realize the potential value of errors, and perhaps say something like, “Would you look at that! Where can it lead our thinking?” and then he or she will go on to use the error as a stepping stone to a new idea. As a matter of fact, the whole history of discovery is filed with people who used erroneous assumptions and failed ideas as stepping-stones to new ideas. Columbus thought he was finding a shorter route to India. Johannes Kepler stumbled on to the idea of interplanetary gravity because of assumptions that were right for the wrong reasons. And, Thomas Edison knew 1800 ways not to build a light bulb.

The following story about the automotive genius Charles Kettering exemplifies the spirit of working through erroneous assumptions to good ideas. In 1912, when the automobile industry was just beginning to grow, Kettering was interested in improving gasoline engine efficiency. The problem he faced was“knockthe phenomenon in which gasoline takes too long to burn in the cylinder-thereby reducing efficiency.

Kettering began searching for ways to eliminate the “knock.” He thought to him, “How can I get the gasoline to combust in the cylinder at an earlier time?” the key concept here is “early”. Searching for analogous situations, he looked around for models of “things that happen early.” He thought of historical models, physical models, and biological models. Finally, he remembered a particular plant, the trailing arbutus, which “happens early,” i.e., it blooms in the snow (“earlier” than other plants). One of this plant’s chief characteristics is its’ red leaves, which help the plant retain light at certain wavelengths. Kettering figured that it must be the red color, which made the trailing arbutus bloom earlier.

Now came the critical step in Kettering’s chain of thought. He asked himself, “How can I make the gasoline red?” perhaps I’ll put red dye in the gasoline—maybe that’ll make it combust earlier.” He looked around his workshop, and found that he didn’t have any red dye. But he did happen to have some iodine—perhaps that would do. He added the iodine to the gasoline and, lo and behold, the engine didn’t “knock”.
