Picture comparison 2—Oral Skill

There are two pictures both relating to classroom rule. The first one is of a freedom and leisure classroom environment and the second is of order-well classroom environment.

According to the decoration of the first one, the classroom could be a primary school, and the pupils may be under 10 years old. The teacher doesn't require them sitting in the class at all the time. So some kids walk around to get something and some kids turn around for team work. The second picture, the classroom could be a class of intermediate or secondary school. Their students' ages should range from 10 to 13. That class is an order-well one. Teacher requires all students sitting during the class. If students want to do something, please raise your hand first. After the student gets the permission, he/she can do it.

In my opinion, regarding as different students' age, we need to use different ways to educate, so I agree with both. Because kids are quite energy, and are not good self-controls. They cannot keep one position still for a long time. They always focus on something interested. So teachers can teach them with freedom environment, children will enjoy learning. However in the intermediate or secondary school, students should learn how to follow the order and control themselves well. Teachers require them to respect somebody else. As a result, an order-well classroom environment is suit for teenage students.
