问题     Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades. Other forms of parental involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child’s class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.
    The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting (养育子女) where schools expect them to act as partners in their children’s education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready on them. Keith Robinson, the author of the study, said, “I really don’t know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids’ education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative was parents’ help with homework.” Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the tasks. “They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they are still offering advice.”
    Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.
    Common sense suggest it was a good thing for parents to get involved because “children with good academic success do have involved parents”, admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success. “A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives.”
What is the major finding of Robinson’s study? (          )
选项 A、Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way
B、Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging
C、Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected
D、Parents are not able to help with children’s homework
答案C
解析 细节题。根据第四段第二句“In general，about 20% of parental involvement was positive，about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.”可知，20%的家长参与有积极作用，45%有消极作用，剩下的不具有统计学意义，而人们一般认为家长参与对孩子来说是好的。由此可推知，家长的参与并未达到预期的效果，这样C项符合。A项指的是现代的家长用较为科学的方式抚养孩子。B项指的是用不恰当的方式惩罚孩子是对造成精神伤害的。D项指的是父母不能帮助孩子做功课。因此答案选C项。
