School children are now constantly asked by their parents and teachers to study harder and harder. And the competition 36 the students themselves is growing in most schools in China. In my opinion, the fierce（激烈的） 37 in school 38 more harm than good.
Visiting a German city, I was 39 to be present at a parent-teacher meeting at a school. 40 were told at the meeting that their children's school grades were held to be a personal information 41 by the law, and that the school would not disclose（透露）the students' marks, 42 would the school report them to the parents. It is their view that a 43 school should encourage children to learn 44 without pressure. A student's intelligence（智力）and ability will be 45 later by competition in society.
In China, ranking students according to their examination has been 46 as a means of encouraging students to study harder.
A friend told me about a parent-teacher meeting she 47 with her daughter who was in the second grade.
At the meeting, a teacher read aloud 48 students in the class and their marks for different 49 . Good students came at the top of the list and poor 50 at the bottom. And in front of everybody at the meeting, the teacher gave warning 51 those poor students and their parents.
