Nowadays, a new style homework correcting appears in school which has become a hot point under discussion. We usually get a mark tick for right answer and get a cross for wrong, but things has been changed, educator use “o” for “x”, which makes the correcting more gentle. As to this new type correcting, there is no consensus agreement among people.

現(xiàn)在，校園里出現(xiàn)一種新型的作業(yè)批改方式成為了人們討論的熱點。我們通常是做對打勾做錯打叉，但現(xiàn)在改了，教育學家用o代替x，這讓種方式更加柔和一點。對于這種新方式，人們的看法不一。

People who agree with this new style homework correcting hold the views that our educational method should be gentle. The child’s mind is not mature enough, teachers should choose a more acceptable way when they are correcting student’s homework. Such as an “o” is softer than an “x”. Because in our mind, “x” represent absolutely wrong, on contrary, an “o” means “you should think twice, there is a better answer waiting for you to find out”. It could lead on a student to correct his answer without hurting his feels.

同意這種新方式的人認為我們的教育模式應(yīng)該溫和一些。孩子的心智還不夠成熟，老師應(yīng)該選更加容易讓人接受的方式去批改學生的作業(yè)。例如o就比x溫和一些。因為在我們的心目中，x代表了絕對的錯誤，相反，o意味著“你應(yīng)該三思，還有更好的答案”。這能在不傷害孩子的感情之下讓他改正錯誤。

However, some people think that if we always use a gentle way to teach students, how could we develop the student’s ability to face the error and frustration. There is a reason for educator use “x” for wrong answer, students should have the courage to face the error that they made, and they should remember why they do it wrong.

然而，有些人認為如果我們總是用柔和的方式去教育學生，那我們怎么培養(yǎng)他們面對錯誤和挫折的能力？教育學家用x批改錯誤的答案是有理由的，學生應(yīng)該有勇氣去面對他們犯下的錯誤，還有他們應(yīng)當記住為什么他們會做錯。

Weighing up these two arguments, I prefer the former one. I think once student has accepted their error, they will voluntarily to correct. Otherwise, students see an “x” and their defensive mechanisms automatically come up.

權(quán)衡以上兩種觀點，我傾向于前者。我認為一旦學生接受了自己的錯誤，他們就會自愿地改正。否則，學生一看到x就會自然而然地產(chǎn)生一種抵觸心理。
