问题     However important we may regard school life to be, there is no denying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the great influence of parents cannot be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong allies of the school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously hinder and obstruct curricular objectives.
    Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents informed of the newer method used in schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program, manuscript writing, and developmental mathematics.
    Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The many interviews carried on during the year as well as new ways of reporting pupils’ progress, can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home.
    To illustrate, suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent convert his natural paternal interest into productive channels. He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a yardstick or measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip, and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.
    If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics and, at the same time, enjoying the work.
    Too often, however, teachers’ conferences with parents are devoted to petty accounts of children ’ s offences, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for penalties and rewards at home.
    What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional adviser, plants ideas in parents’ minds for the best utilization of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom.
    In this way, the school and the home join forces in stimulating the fullest development of youngsters’ capacities.
It can be reasonably inferred that the author
选项 A、thinks that teachers of this generation are inferior to those of the last generation.
B、is satisfied with present relationships between home and school.
C、feels that the traditional program in mathematics is slightly superior to the development program.
D、feels that parent-teacher interviews can be made much more constructive than they are at present.
答案D
解析 A项“这一代老师不如上一代老师”，作者没有这方面的表述，此项是无关项。作者在文章中主要讲述的就是如何在未来通过增进学校和家庭的互动来促进学生的学习和发展，显然是对现状不满，所以B项是不正确的。C项文中未提及。D项“作者认为家长老师会面还可以做得更好”，在倒数第二段提到“老师应用一种更有创造性的方式与家长沟通，使得他们知道如何有效利用课堂外的时间”，第四段中也提到“在友好的会面中提醒家长利用一种有效的方式帮助孩子学数学”。
