Schoolboy organizes mass protest over lack of homework

英國一個少年被強制停課了,因為他嫌作業太少而組織了一次大規模抗議活動.

A British schoolboy has been excluded from lessons after he organized a mass protest over a lack of homework.

3月12號,14歲的亞倫帶領了100名同學在自己的母校---英國布萊克浦的布里斯哈姆中學里罷課游行,以此表達對學校教學水平的擔憂.

Aaron Parfitt, 14, led 100 of his fellow pupils on a walkout at Bispham High School in Blackpool on 12 March over concerns about teaching standards.

盡管亞倫對知識有著強烈的渴求,他還是被告知接下來兩天將被強制停課.校方聲稱,在老師和他的母親3月17號會面前還是禁止他上課.

Despite his eagerness to learn, Aaron was told he was banned from lessons for the next two days, and now claims to have been excluded again ahead of a meeting between teachers and his mother on 17 March.

亞倫曾聯系英國布萊克浦地方政務會和教育標準局,希望他們關注提高教學質量的問題.后來,他忍無可忍后就在上周三組織了約100名同學進行游行抗議.學校老師對他的行為十分不滿,在上周四和上周五禁止他上課.這讓他的母親、52歲的珍妮特非常氣憤.

Aaron originally contacted Blackpool Council and Ofsted to raise concerns over the quality of teaching before losing patience and organizing the 100-strong walkout last Wednesday. Teachers took a dim view of his actions and excluded him for two days on Thursday and Friday last week - much to the anger of his mother Janet, 52.

她說："我很生氣,他們不讓我兒子上課就因為他在竭盡所能地為自己爭取更好的教育.她又補充說："他只是在試圖表達自己和同學的意見,卻被告知停課兩天."

"I'm absolutely fuming they've excluded him because he's doing the best he can to get a good education," she said. "He was only trying to stick up for himself and his mates and then he gets told to stay away from the school for two days," she added.

艾倫說："我們有很多很多老師,但我們的家庭作業太少了.我數學沒考及格,我很著急因為我只想保證自己能有足夠多的作業量."

Aaron said, "We've had loads of different teachers and we weren't getting enough homework. I failed my maths exam in school and I was really worried because I just wanted to make sure I was able to do the work properly."
