It’s late at night. A 36 stops in the middle of a forest. After 37 off their three teenagers, the parents say “good luck” and drive away. The teenagers, totally lost, have to 38 their way back home by themselves.
It may sound 39 to you, but this is a tradition in the Netherlands(荷兰) called “dropping”. Dutch people believe that children should not depend too much on their 40 and should learn how to solve problems through activities like “dropping”.
41 , for many other parents around the world, their top concern(担心) is their children’s 42 . After all, why should they put their children at risk 43 there are many other ways to develop their independence

They want their children to 45 their vacation as much as possible.

But this might not be a good parenting style either, according to American parenting 49 Kenneth Ginsburg. Good parents need to find a balance(平衡) between protecting their children and letting go. As Kenneth Ginsburg writes, parents should “make sure their children don’t crash against the rocks, yet 50 them to ride the waves(冲浪)…”

In a class last December, I wrote some directions on the blackboard for students about their final exam. 36 young girl quickly took a picture of the board using her smartphone. When I looked in her direction,

It may be 43 to use cameras as note takers. Yet it does 44 some questions about the classroom. Is a picture an effective replacement for the 45 of note-taking
Teachers encourage students to take notes because the 46 of doing so is more than only recording necessary information. It 47 prepare the way of understanding.

Taking a picture does record the information. 50 , it deletes some of the necessary mental involvement (参与) that note-taking is rich in. So can the two be equally effective
