School shootings are in the news again. An Ohio teenager opened fire on five classmates, killing three students and injuring two others. In Seattle, the 9-year-old boy brought a gun to school and seriously injured a classmate when it was accidentally discharged in his backpack.
Children are injured and murdered every day, but school violence carries a symbolic effect because we like to think of schools as safe havens from the harshness of adult life. It’s horrifying to think that the institutions could be a place of injury or even death.
Politicians and taxpayers like to hold teachers accountable for their students’ failures for the belief that a child’s fate rests largely in the hands of the teacher in whose care he or she spends approximately 1,000 hours per year. Yet the remaining 7,760 hours are on someone else’s watch-, the parents— children spend on average only about 11% of their childhood lives in school.
But we rarely talk honestly about what can happen during the other eight-ninths of their waking and even sleeping hours. Children arrive at school poorly nourished and are too fatigued to work. They spend too much time on television and too little on exercise. They are poorly socialized in ways that inhibit learning and kindness. They also bring unsecured weapons to school and use them on innocent people, including, sometimes, themselves.
Where are the parents? Children are being injured and killed through the shameful negligence of the adults who are responsible for them. Roughly one-third of households with children report owning at least one gun. 43% of these homes report keeping firearms in an unlocked place, while only 39% of these homes keep the guns locked, unloaded and separate from bullet, as recommended by many gun-safety advocates. Nationally, 90% of fatal firearm shootings of children aging 0 to 14 occur in the home.
We are not saying that every time a kid does something wrong, a parent must be held responsible or be blamed. But a system that focuses its attention for kids’ failings everywhere but at home is equally blind. We hold hosts liable when a driver drinks at their home and kills someone while driving drunk. Having an unlocked, loaded gun in a home with a child under 16 should be a crime.
People tend to blame teachers for their students’ failures because________.
选项
A、students spend 11% of their childhood life in school
B、they believe teachers largely determine their students’ fate
C、children don’t have to study under the supervision of parents
D、parents pay a lot of money to school for their children’s education
答案
B
解析
题干中的blame sb.for与定位句中的hold sb.accountable for为同义转述,意为“认为某人应为某事负责”。定位句指出,政治家和纳税人往往认为老师应当为学生的事故负责,因为他们相信由于孩子每年有大约l 000小时时间处在老师监管下,因而孩子的性命很大程度上掌握在老师手中,故B为答案。A“学生在学校度过大约1l%的童年时光”是原文提到的事实,但作者提出这一事实是为了表明孩子在学校度过的时光只占他们全部时间的一小部分,故排除;C“孩子不需要在父母的监督下学习”和D“父母们为孩子的教育付很多学费给学校”原文均未提及,故排除。
