At the time the alphabatically disadvantaged may think they have had a lucky escape. Yet the result may be worse qualifications, because they get less

25、hey are feeling humiliated.DThey are busy with word puzzles.28.Americans today don’t place a very high value on intellect. Our heroes are athletes, entertainers, and entrepreneurs, not scholars. Even our schools are where we send our children to get a practical education-not to pursue knowledg

26、e for the sake of knowledge. Symptoms of pervasive anti-intellectualism in our schools aren’t difficult to find. Schools have always been in a society where practical is more important than intellectual, says education writer Diane Ravitch. Schools could be a counterbalance. Ravitch’s la

27、test book, Left Back: A Century of Failed School Reforms, traces the roots of anti-intellectualism in our schools, concluding they are anything but a counterbalance to the American distaste for intellectual pursuits. But they could and should be. Encouraging kids to reject the life of the mind leave

28、s them vulnerable to exploitation and control. Without the ability to think critically, to defend their ideas and understand the ideas of others, they cannot fully participate in our democracy. Continuing along this path, says writer Earl Shorris, We will become a second rate country. We will have a

29、 less civil society. Intellect is resented as a form of power or privilege, writes historian and professor Richard Hofstadter in Anti-Intellectualism in American Life, a Pulizer Prize winning book on the roots of anti-intellectualism in US politics, religion, and education. From the beginning of our

30、 history, says Hofstadter, our democratic and populist urges have driven us to reject anything that smells of elitism. Practicality, common sense, and native intelligence have been considered more noble qualities than anything you could learn from a book. Ralph Waldo Emerson and other Transcendental

31、ist philosophers thought schooling and rigorous book learning put unnatural restraints on children: We are shut up in schools and college recitation rooms for 10 or 15 years and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing. Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn exemplified America

32、n anti-intellectualism. Its hero avoids being civilized - going to school and learning to read - so he can preserve his innate goodness. Intellect, according to Hofstadter, is different from native intelligence, a quality we reluctantly admire. Intellect is the critical, creative, and contemplative

33、side of the mind. Intelligence seeks to grasp, manipulate, reorder, and adjust, while intellect examines, ponders, wonders, theorizes, criticizes, and imagines. School remains a place where intellect is mistrusted. Hofstadter says our country’s educational system is in the grips of people who

34、joyfully and militantly proclaim their hostility to intellect and their eagerness to identify with children who show the least intellectual promise.We can learn from the text that Americans have a history of().Aundervaluing intellectBfavoring intellectualismCsupporting school reformDsuppressing nati
