The government’s plan for teachers to monitor their pupils for signs of extremism stifles debate and encourages secrecy政府的計劃，為教師，以監測他們的學生為極端主義的跡象扼殺辯論，並鼓勵保密

Francis Gilbert 弗朗西斯吉爾伯特 | 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發揮作為一個教師的課堂，它從未發生過，我認為我可能會被要求是不安。 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社會工作者，代父，清潔員，技術員，人群控制器，推銷員的損壞貨物的國家課程，是-但我從沒有想過自己可能需要的是一個準軍情六處代理人，窺探周圍遊樂場 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，這是政府要求公立學校的教師和我一樣的;政府指導今日公佈將要求教師監測學生的行為，並告知有關當局-包括警察-如果他們懷疑青少年被捲入暴力極端主義。

As with much of the guidance that the government provides teachers, it is highly contradictory.正如很多的指導，政府提供的教師，這是非常矛盾的。 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，它鼓勵教師討論這些問題圍繞著恐怖主義-的威脅，極端伊斯蘭組織，基地組織和其他痴迷者h ellbent時炸毀了無辜的公民-這似乎是合理的不夠。 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，該計劃旨在延長“替代父母”的責任教師，學生的監測是否正在成為極端主義分子，並告訴當局。

This begs a couple of questions.這引出了幾個問題。 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?當然，如果學生知道，教師有義務報告如果他們闡明其極端的觀點，那麼他們會非常謹慎，表示任何可能導致自己？ 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，它不會妨礙任何討論這些學生-或教師這個問題-誰不是極端分子，但有一些同情的“自由戰士”誰主張暴力-如納爾遜曼德拉？
I am currently teaching Chinua Achebe’s我目前的教學奇努阿阿切貝的 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. ，這是一個非洲男子的暴力，並最終自殺的回應英國殖民統治在尼日利亞於19世紀，並派出各種左的領域從我的意見第六具，其中一些人指出，非洲是有權拿起武器反對他的壓迫者，即使它明確表示，他的關於自殺的使命。 Should I be reporting these impassioned, engaged students as potential fodder for al-Qaida?我應該將這些慷慨激昂的報告，參與學生的潛在飼料基地組織？ If the pupils knew I might, all sensible discussion about the novel would cease.如果學生知道我可能，所有的理智的討論小說將停止。

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.也許更貼切，我教的學生後， 9 / 11 ，並在伊拉克戰爭期間，誰都表示同情都烏薩馬本拉丹和薩達姆侯賽因。 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,在這兩次會議上，這引起了憤怒的反應，其餘的階級和一個活潑，熱情洋溢的辯論已隨之;的那種辯論宗教原教旨主義，言論自由和改變世界，秘書長部的兒童，家庭和學校， Ed Balls 埃德球 , wants lots of teachers to conduct throughout the country.希望大量的教師進行全國各地。 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.不過，我可以肯定，他們將不會發生，如果學生誰挑起了討論，他們的辯護基地組織和伊拉克前獨裁者知道，我要報告給當局。 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，在這兩種情況下，這些學生顯然是不出芽的恐怖分子，但我所說的聰明的“風”的商家把誰靠大家的支持了。

However, I have come across some characters at school that I have suspected of being serious fanatics.然而，我遇到一些字符在學校裡，我懷疑是嚴重的狂熱分子。 Funnily enough, they weren’t pupils but teachers!有趣的是，他們沒有學生，但教師！ 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.這些教師不是那種嘐，不小心觸發blusterers誰大課堂討論，但安靜的，虔誠的教師誰很明顯的宗教，祈禱每天穿著適當的服裝。 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.雖然我可能已經涉嫌窩藏他們的暴力行為的夢想，我絕對沒有證據表明它之外，他們認為同性戀應該被處決。 They certainly were very careful not to talk about Bin Laden or al-Qaida.他們肯定是非常小心，不要談論本拉丹或基地組織。 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.我有一個同性戀的同事誰是如此憤怒，她質疑這些教師對他們的態度同性戀，她沒有抱怨當局。 She was quickly silenced with the response that it was a religious matter – and no action was taken.她很快被壓制的反應，這是一個宗教問題-並沒有採取行動。 Indeed, that fundamentalist teacher went on to pass his trainee year and now is teaching at a state school as a fully qualified teacher.事實上，這種原教旨主義的老師又通過他的實習一年，現在教學在公立學校作為一個完全合格的教師。

This has made me think that perhaps teachers need to be properly vetted before we turn our attention to the pupils.這使我想到，也許教師需要得到適當的審查之前，我們把注意力轉向了學生。 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.畢竟，一個7 / 7爆炸是一所小學的助理，這是可能的，他很可能已經根深蒂固，如果適當地詢問他的態度對待暴力的面試。 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.也許他就不會脫口而出，他想成為一名自殺炸彈，但他的態度同性戀本來可以很容易發現。 Personally, I think that anyone who believes that gay people should be exterminated should not be allowed to teach our children.就個人而言，我認為任何人誰認為同性戀的人應該被消滅不應該讓教我們的孩子。 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，但似乎不願處理這個棘手的問題，而是要把教師納入無效spooks ，這將導致窒息的所有有意義的辯論。
