Part Four: Monologue
“There is much debate as to the best kind of education for students today. Some think private schools are tops. A lot of money goes into these schools and the programs are usually of a high quality, yet the tuition fees are often more than the average person can afford. Others think that given a good administration and teachers who care, public schools can offer good educations as well. One problem is that classes in public schools tend to have many more students than private schools, and therefore individual attention can sometimes suffer. Generally, however, quality is based on the individual schools and student interests rather than whether the schools are publicly or privately funded.”
當今，關于什么才是給予學生的最好的教育這個問題是有很大爭議的。有些人認為私立學校是首選。這些學校聚集了大批資金，因而通常有著較高的教學質量。然而學費卻不是一般人能夠支付得起的。另有些人則認為如果學校管理較好，老師也負責任的話，公立學校同樣也能夠提供良好的教育環(huán)境。問題之一是公立學校的班級人數(shù)往往比私立學校的多，因而，個人受注意的程度便會降低。然而，一般說來，質量跟各所學校各自的情況及學生的興趣有關，而不是看學校到底是政府出資還是個人集資。
