Internet Problems 上网困扰

Some educational specialists point out the negative effect the Internet can bring to people, especially the young learners. 让我们听听教育家们是如何论述网络的弊端的。

教育专家们怀疑的3个观点：

1. Computers in the classroom can raise educational standards.电脑教学能够提高教学水平。

Educational specialists point out that there is no evidence to support this. Some even question whether it is a good idea to encourage young learners to have access to the Internet.

2. Internet is a vast storehouse of valuable knowledge. 网络是个巨大的知识宝库。

Educational specialists describe the Internet as a medium that has no quality control（质量监控） because anyone can post anything on the Internet. No editors will test their contributions. It is like a library that contains works of both the talentless and the talented, a picture gallery that exhibits both great works of art and childish scribbles¹, a museum that contains rubbish as well as wonderful treasures.

3. We should give young learners increased access to the Internet so that they can get a vast amount of materials. 我们应该增加年轻人接触网络的机会，让他们通过网络汲取大量的资料。

Educational specialists point out that this is a mixed blessing（好坏参半） because if the young learners are not educated to be discriminating² (有辨别能力的), they may gain knowledge and genuine understanding, but at the same time they may be exposed to ignorance and foolishness as well.
