The United States Values the Disable and Sick Child’s Education
The Supreme Court will hear arguments about the use of public money for the private schooling of children with special needs. It’s interesting to note what’s not at issue: namely, that when a public school system is unable to provide an appropriate education, it has to pay the costs of private school.
The case to be heard by the court is about whether parents have to enroll a child with special needs in public school before the child can attend private school at public expense. Special-education advocates say students shouldn’t have to waste time before being placed in a setting that best suits their needs, while school boards worry about a ruling that could amount to an unfettered right to private schooling at public expense. What strikes us about the emotionally charged debate is the acceptance by both sides that sometimes it is appropriate to use public money to pay for a child go to a private school. So. why all the argument about the approximately $ 14 million for a federally funded program that lets 1,700 D. C. students attend private schools instead of failing public schools?
To hear critics of the D. C. Opportunity Scholarship Program tell it. The use of public money for private schooling is as unprecedented, in addition to the billions of dollars spent annually on private school tuitions for students with disabilities, private schools get public money for books, technology and teacher training. As long as the money is seen as benefiting the child, it is considered a proper, even desirable, use of public dollars.
Don’t get us wrong. We’re not arguing for the unilateral right of parents to enroll their sons and daughters in any school they wish with the taxpayer picking up the bill. Abuse of special education policies has contributed to increase costs that threaten to take needed money from general public education funds. Safeguards are needed. Public schools should be pressed to do a better job for students with disabilities and students without. But there are schools in Washington where statistics show that failure is almost guaranteed. If a school system can’t educate a child whether because of acute special needs or its own historical failings why should that child not have options for a "free appropriate public education"?
What can we infer from the last paragraph?
选项
A、While putting public money in private schools, public schools can also benefit.
B、Public schools only consider the need of students without disabilities.
C、It is children’s right to choose private schools when public ones aren’t good enough.
D、There is evidence to show that public schools in Washington D.C. are terrible.
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。由题干关键词last paragraph定位到第四段。由最后一句可知:如果学校不能保证对学生的教育——不管是因为特殊需求的快速攀升还是因为历史原因导致的失败一一为什么孩子们不能得到另外一个“免费而且恰当的公立教育"的机会呢?因此[C]“当公立学校不够好时,孩子们有权选择私立教育”为正确答案。当公共资金大量进入私立学校时,公立学校会受到冲击,所以[A]“公立学校也会从中受益”错误,故排除;文章没有说[B]“公立学校只考虑身体没有残疾的儿童的教育”,故排除;是有数据显示华盛顿特区的有学校在残疾儿童教育方面一定会失败,但这并不是说[D]“有证据显示华盛顿特区的公立学校都糟透了”,故排除。
