主持人:美国公立学校学生的数学和阅读能力测试结果令人担忧,学生们的基础能力严重不足,这反映出美国教育体系的严重问题。 Dr. Phil:美国在学术方面不再处于领先地位,数学、科学和阅读能力都在下降。许多学生无法达到基本的阅读水平,却被不断地升到下一个年级,这掩盖了教育系统的问题。如果学生在三四年级时阅读能力达不到标准,他们辍学的可能性会大大增加,而这问题却无人有效解决。许多学校采用了无效的教学方法,浪费了大量资金和时间。新冠疫情期间学校停课的决定对学生的情绪发展、社交能力和教育造成了负面影响,这些差距至今未弥补。 Dr. Phil:互联网和智能手机的普及既带来了机遇也产生了负面影响,部分是设计使然,部分是意外后果。智能手机的普及改变了人们的生活方式,导致人们过度依赖社交媒体,并进行不健康的自我比较。社交媒体算法会推送负面内容来吸引用户点击,从而增加广告收入,这会对青少年的心理健康造成损害。一些精英大学教授的社会主义和马克思主义思想,以及对结果平等的追求,是错误的。大学现在更倾向于培养学生的受害者意识,并把被冒犯的情绪医疗化。一些学校降低了教学标准,根据学生的学习兴趣而非能力进行评分,这是不合理的。学术界对标准的操纵最终会在现实世界中带来负面后果。一些学校取消SAT考试是因为他们认为考试有种族偏见,但这实际上剥夺了一些弱势学生通过考试展现自身能力的机会。包容性语言的过度使用已经变得荒谬,一些说法已经失去了其本来的意义。大型企业和大学内部存在语言审查制度,限制了言论自由。当前社会中的一些负面现象,一部分是协调行动的结果,一部分是个人为了保住工作而采取的妥协行为。一些边缘激进分子采取协调行动,通过网络机器人和恐吓手段来影响公众舆论。当前社会存在对家庭的攻击,这正在削弱家庭的凝聚力。
