布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
About the time that we succeeded in burning our first kiln of bricks we began facing in an emphasized form the objection of the students to being taught to work. By this time it had gotten to be pretty well advertised throughout the state that every student who came to Tuskegee, no matter what his financial ability might be, must learn some industry. Quite a number of letters came from parents protesting against their children engaging in labour while they were in the school. Other parents came to the school to protest in person. Most of the new students brought a written or a verbal request from their parents to the effect that they wanted their children taught nothing but books. The more books, the larger they were, and the longer the titles printed upon them, the better pleased the students and their parents seemed to be.

白话
大约在我们成功烧出第一窑砖的时候，学生反对被教做工的声浪开始凸显。那时全州已经广为人知：每个来塔斯基吉的学生，无论经济能力如何，都必须学一门手艺。许多家长来信抗议孩子在学校做工，有些家长亲自来校抗议。大多数新生带来家长书面或口头的要求，说只想让孩子学书本知识。书本越多、越大、标题越长，学生和家长似乎越高兴。这反映了当时普遍轻视体力劳动、崇尚书本教育的观念。

塔斯基吉学院强制学生学一门手艺，引发家长和学生反对。当时黑人刚获解放，普遍认为教育就是读好书、脱离体力劳动。
今日一问
你是否也曾轻视实践技能，而只重视书本知识？如何平衡两者？
