A Good School

A group of Grade 5 students were discussing what they thought about school.

Hannah: In my opinion, the good school is the one that makes a balance between discipline
and fun.

Allan: I completely agree with you, Hannah. Too much focus on the discipline can
make a school like a prison, and excessive focus on fun makes it a park rather than a school.
So, balance is better.
Paul: I‘m sorry to say this, but I totally disagree with you. What is the point of fun in a
school? In my mind, the good school is the one where you don‘t have to study such useless
subjects as English language. A good school is one that teaches you what you need to now to
get a good job.

Allan: I don‘t agree with you, Paul. I think English language is very important nowadays.
Schools need to be about more than just getting a job– they need to teach you other things like
social skills, computers and technology, how to get on with people, not just ere at home but
in other countries as well. This is where English language comes in.

Hannah: You are right Allan. There is no good school today that doesn‘t teach English
language. It is the most commonly spoken language in the world.
Juanita: I agree with Paul. We need to learn practical things at school and about our own
country and culture rather than other places. What is the point of knowing about other
countries when we live here?

Frida: You’ve all made some good points about school – I think I agree with all of you!
Group yourselves by 6. Write your answers to the questions in the worksheets provided.
Choose a representative from each group who will share their answers to the class.

Q1. What do Hannah and Allan mean by ‘balance’?

Q2. What arguments are given for and against the teaching of English Language?

Q3. How can you tell that this group is trying to be polite to each other even though they disagree?
Q4. What do Paul and Juanita agree on about what makes a good school?

Q5. Allan compares a school with too much discipline as a’ prison ‘and too much fun as a
’park.’ How are these two comparisons appropriate for his argument?
Q6. Turn this conversation into a written text entitled ‘Should English Language be taught in
schools?’ Some of it has been done for you.

Should English Language be taught in schools?

Many people have different views about whether English Language should be taught in schools.
