老师在TikTok上解释了她为什么不给学生布置家庭作业

Even though most high schoolers might not yet have age-related health issues, wrinkles, or loads of adult-life problems, let’s admit—being young isn’t easy. Teenage years usually mean having quite a bit on your plate and you’re expected to somehow find a balance between all of it. Needless to say, with the whole COVID-19 situation, today’s teenagers have to deal with even more difficult things.

尽管大多数高中生可能还没有与年龄相关的健康问题、皱纹或成年生活中的大量问题，但我们必须承认，年轻并不容易。青少年时期通常意味着你的盘子里有很多东西，你被期望以某种方式在所有这些东西之间找到平衡。毋庸置疑，随着新冠肺炎疫情的全面爆发，如今的青少年不得不面对更加困难的事情。

Texas high school teacher Courtney White clearly understands it. And to help her students deal with stress and all the things life throws at them, Courtney chooses not to assign homework. Recently, this teacher went viral on TikTok after she posted a video explaining her reasons for doing so.

德克萨斯州的高中老师考特尼·怀特对此很清楚。为了帮助她的学生应对压力和生活中所有的事情，考特尼选择不布置家庭作业。最近，这位老师在TikTok上发布了一段解释她这么做的原因的视频后，迅速走红。

Though not everyone supports her kind of teaching. After receiving some criticism for not assigning her students homework, the teacher decided to make a TikTok in which she explained her philosophy behind the decision to do so.

虽然不是每个人都支持她的教学方式。在因为没有给学生布置作业而受到一些批评之后，老师决定做一个小提示，解释她这样做背后的哲学。

“There’s no proof that homework is going to make them better students in my class”

“没有证据表明家庭作业能让他们成为我班上更好的学生”

“Some of them are going home and taking care of their younger siblings because their parents are at work. Some of them just need to go home and sleep. Some of them have to go home and worry about how they’re going to eat because there’s no food at their house,” Courtney continues. “So, if I also give them hours of homework, when do they have time to be kids? When do they have time to relax? Because when you get off of work, you want to go home and relax.”

“他们中的一些人回家照顾弟弟妹妹，因为他们的父母都在工作。有些人只需要回家睡觉就行了。有些人不得不回家，担心自己怎么吃饭，因为家里没吃的了，”考特尼继续说道。“所以，如果我让他们做几个小时的作业，他们什么时候有时间做孩子呢?”他们什么时候有时间放松?因为当你下班后，你想回家放松。”

“I respect their time outside of class, they work hard for me all day, they don’t need to go home and do more homework”

“我尊重他们的课外时间，他们整天努力学习，不需要回家多做作业。”

Speaking to Good Morning America about her unorthodox approach to teaching, White explained that her goal is to take “a small portion of the stress away from them by not assigning extra assignments” and “give them the little extra love that they need in class.”

在接受《早安美国》采访时，怀特谈到了她非传统的教学方式，她解释说，她的目标是“通过不布置额外作业来减轻他们的一小部分压力”，并“给予他们课堂上需要的一点点额外关爱”。

“The sillier I am, the more interested they are in the topics. I try to make it fun. My favorite part of teaching is connecting with students. I like to get to know them as a student in my classroom as well as what they do outside of my classroom just to build that personal relationship. So they feel comfortable and cared for while they are in my class,” the teacher added.

“我越放松，他们对这些话题就越感兴趣。我试着让它变得有趣。教学中我最喜欢的部分就是与学生交流。我喜欢了解我课堂上的学生，以及他们在我的课堂之外做什么来建立个人关系。所以他们在我的课堂上感觉很舒服，受到照顾。”这位老师补充道。
