The government’s plan for teachers to monitor their pupils for signs of extremism stifles debate and encourages secrecy政府的计划，为教师，以监测他们的学生为极端主义的迹象扼杀辩论，并鼓励保密

Francis Gilbert 弗朗西斯吉尔伯特 | Of all the roles I thought I might play as a classroom teacher, it never occurred to me that I might be called upon to be a spook. |在所有的角色我想我可以发挥作为一个教师的课堂，它从未发生过，我认为我可能会被要求是不安。 Social worker, surrogate parent, cleaner, technician, crowd controller, salesman for the damaged goods of the national curriculum, yes – but I never imagined I might be required to be a quasi-MI6 agent, snooping around the playground for社会工作者，代父，清洁员，技术员，人群控制器，推销员的损坏货物的国家课程，是-但我从没有想过自己可能需要的是一个准军情六处代理人，窥探周围游乐场 budding terrorists 萌芽恐怖分子 . 。 Yet this is what the government is calling for state school teachers like me to be; government guidance published today will ask teachers to monitor pupils’ behaviour and inform the authorities – including police – if they suspect teenagers are being drawn into violent extremism.然而，这是政府要求公立学校的教师和我一样的;政府指导今日公布将要求教师监测学生的行为，并告知有关当局-包括警察-如果他们怀疑青少年被卷入暴力极端主义。

As with much of the guidance that the government provides teachers, it is highly contradictory.正如很多的指导，政府提供的教师，这是非常矛盾的。 On the one hand, it encourages teachers to discuss the issues surrounding terrorism – the threat from extreme Islamist groups, al-Qaida, and other fanatics hellbent upon blowing up innocent citizens – which seems reasonable enough.一方面，它鼓励教师讨论这些问题围绕着恐怖主义-的威胁，极端伊斯兰组织，基地组织和其他痴迷者h ellbent时炸毁了无辜的公民-这似乎是合理的不够。 But on the other, the plan aims to extend the “in loco parentis” responsibilities of teachers to monitoring whether pupils are becoming extremists and telling the authorities.但另一方面，该计划旨在延长“替代父母”的责任教师，学生的监测是否正在成为极端主义分子，并告诉当局。

This begs a couple of questions.这引出了几个问题。 Surely, if pupils know that teachers are obliged to report them if they articulate their extreme views, then they’ll be very cautious about saying anything that might incriminate themselves?当然，如果学生知道，教师有义务报告如果他们阐明其极端的观点，那么他们会非常谨慎，表示任何可能导致自己？ Furthermore, won’t it inhibit any discussion from those pupils – or teachers for that matter – who are not extremists but have some sympathy for “freedom fighters” who advocate violence – such as Nelson Mandela?此外，它不会妨碍任何讨论这些学生-或教师这个问题-谁不是极端分子，但有一些同情的“自由战士”谁主张暴力-如纳尔逊曼德拉？
I am currently teaching Chinua Achebe’s我目前的教学奇努阿阿切贝的 Things Fall Apart 事情土崩瓦解 , which is about an African man’s violent and ultimately suicidal response to British colonial rule in Nigeria in the 19th century, and fielding all sorts of left-of-field comments from my sixth formers, some of whom are suggesting that the African is right to take up arms against his oppressors, even though it’s clear he’s on a suicide mission. ，这是一个非洲男子的暴力，并最终自杀的回应英国殖民统治在尼日利亚于19世纪，并派出各种左的领域从我的意见第六具，其中一些人指出，非洲是有权拿起武器反对他的压迫者，即使它明确表示，他的关于自杀的使命。 Should I be reporting these impassioned, engaged students as potential fodder for al-Qaida?我应该将这些慷慨激昂的报告，参与学生的潜在饲料基地组织？ If the pupils knew I might, all sensible discussion about the novel would cease.如果学生知道我可能，所有的理智的讨论小说将停止。

Perhaps even more pertinently, I have taught pupils after 9/11, and during the Iraq war, who have expressed sympathies for both Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.也许更贴切，我教的学生后， 9 / 11 ，并在伊拉克战争期间，谁都表示同情都乌萨马本拉丹和萨达姆侯赛因。 On both occasions, this has provoked a furious response from the rest of the class and a lively, impassioned debate has ensued; the sort of debate about religious fundamentalism, freedom of speech and changing the world that the Secretary for the Department of Children, Families and Schools,在这两次会议上，这引起了愤怒的反应，其余的阶级和一个活泼，热情洋溢的辩论已随之;的那种辩论宗教原教旨主义，言论自由和改变世界，秘书长部的儿童，家庭和学校， Ed Balls 埃德球 , wants lots of teachers to conduct throughout the country.希望大量的教师进行全国各地。 However, I am pretty sure that they wouldn’t have happened if the pupils who provoked the discussions with their defence of al-Qaida and the former Iraqi dictator knew that I would have to report them to the authorities.不过，我可以肯定，他们将不会发生，如果学生谁挑起了讨论，他们的辩护基地组织和伊拉克前独裁者知道，我要报告给当局。 Interestingly, in both cases, these pupils were clearly not budding terrorists, but what I would call clever “wind-up” merchants who relished putting everyone’s backs up.有趣的是，在这两种情况下，这些学生显然是不出芽的恐怖分子，但我所说的聪明的“风”的商家把谁靠大家的支持了。

However, I have come across some characters at school that I have suspected of being serious fanatics.然而，我遇到一些字符在学校里，我怀疑是严重的狂热分子。 Funnily enough, they weren’t pupils but teachers!有趣的是，他们没有学生，但教师！ These pedagogues were not the sort of bombastic, careless blusterers who trigger great classroom discussions but quiet, devout teachers who were obviously very religious, praying every day and wearing the appropriate garb.这些教师不是那种嘐，不小心触发blusterers谁大课堂讨论，但安静的，虔诚的教师谁很明显的宗教，祈祷每天穿着适当的服装。 While I might have suspected them of harbouring dreams of violence, I had absolutely no evidence of it, beyond their belief that homosexuals should be executed.虽然我可能已经涉嫌窝藏他们的暴力行为的梦想，我绝对没有证据表明它之外，他们认为同性恋应该被处决。 They certainly were very careful not to talk about Bin Laden or al-Qaida.他们肯定是非常小心，不要谈论本拉丹或基地组织。 I had a gay colleague who was so incensed when she questioned one of these teachers about their attitudes towards homosexuality that she did complain to the authorities.我有一个同性恋的同事谁是如此愤怒，她质疑这些教师对他们的态度同性恋，她没有抱怨当局。 She was quickly silenced with the response that it was a religious matter – and no action was taken.她很快被压制的反应，这是一个宗教问题-并没有采取行动。 Indeed, that fundamentalist teacher went on to pass his trainee year and now is teaching at a state school as a fully qualified teacher.事实上，这种原教旨主义的老师又通过他的实习一年，现在教学在公立学校作为一个完全合格的教师。

This has made me think that perhaps teachers need to be properly vetted before we turn our attention to the pupils.这使我想到，也许教师需要得到适当的审查之前，我们把注意力转向了学生。 After all, one of the 7/7 bombers was a primary school assistant; it is possible, he could well have been rooted out if properly questioned about his attitude towards violence in a job interview.毕竟，一个7 / 7爆炸是一所小学的助理，这是可能的，他很可能已经根深蒂固，如果适当地询问他的态度对待暴力的面试。 Perhaps he would not have blurted out that he wanted to be a suicide bomber, but his attitudes towards homosexuality could have been fairly easily discovered.也许他就不会脱口而出，他想成为一名自杀炸弹，但他的态度同性恋本来可以很容易发现。 Personally, I think that anyone who believes that gay people should be exterminated should not be allowed to teach our children.就个人而言，我认为任何人谁认为同性恋的人应该被消灭不应该让教我们的孩子。 The government, though, seems to reluctant to deal with this thorny issue and instead wants to turn teachers into ineffectual spooks, which will have the effect of stifling all meaningful debate.政府，但似乎不愿处理这个棘手的问题，而是要把教师纳入无效spooks ，这将导致窒息的所有有意义的辩论。
