When our children are born, we study their every eyelash and marvel at the perfection of their toes, and in no time become experts in all that they do. But then the day comes when we are expected to hand them over to a stranger standing at the head of a room full of bright colors and small chairs. Well aware of the difference a great teacher can make-and the damage a bad teacher can do-parents turn over their kids and hope. Please handle with care. Please don’t let my children get lost. They’re breakable. And precious. Oh, but push them hard and don’t let up, and make sure they get into Harvard.
But if parents are searching for the perfect teacher, teachers are looking for the ideal parent, a partner but not a
pest
, engaged but not obsessed, with a sense of perspective and patience. And somehow just at the moment when the experts all say the parent-teacher alliance is more important than ever, it is also becoming harder to manage. At a time when competition is rising and resources are strained, when battles over testing and accountability force schools to adjust their priorities, when cell phones and e-mail speed up the information flow and all kinds of private ghosts and public quarrels creep into the parent-teacher conference, it’s harder for both sides to step back and breathe deeply and look at the goals they share.
Ask teachers about the best part of their job, and most will say how much they love working with kids. Ask them about the most demanding part, and they will say dealing with parents. In fact, a new study finds that of all the challenges they face, new teachers rank handling parents at the top. According to preliminary results from the MetLife Survey of the American Teacher, parent management was a bigger struggle than finding enough funding or maintaining discipline or enduring the toils of testing. It’s one reason that 40% to 50% of new teachers leave the profession within five years. Even master teachers who love their work call this "the most treacherous part of their jobs".
" Everyone says the parent-teacher conference should be pleasant, civilized, a kind of dialogue where parents and teachers build alliances," Lawrence Lightfoot observes. "But what most teachers feel, and certainly what all parents feel, is anxiety, panic and vulnerability. " While teachers worry most about the parents they never see, the ones who show up faithfully pose a whole different set of challenges. "I could summarize in one sentence what teachers hate about parents," says the head of a private school. "We hate it when parents undermine the education and growth of their children. That’s it, plain and simple.
In the last sentence of the second paragraph the author mentions some situations to make the point that______.
选项
A、parent-teacher relationship is complicated by the changes of time
B、both teachers and parents attach too much importance to testing
C、many parents become trouble-makers at the parent teacher conference
D、parent-teacher cooperation is all the more important in today’s world
答案
D
解析
例证题。第二段第三句提到了一些状况,如竞争加剧、教育资源有限等。作者的目的显然是照应本段第一、二句提到的内容,即专家强调家长和老师的合作比以往任何时候都更加重要。但是,在当今社会这种复杂的背景下,家长却没有理顺自己与老师的关系,没有足够的耐心,无法静下心来与老师探讨一些他们共同的目标——共同合作教育孩子。
