问题     However important we may regard school life to he, there is no gainsaying 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 thwart curricular objectives.
    Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents apprised of the newer methods used in schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program, manuscript writing and developmental mathematics.
    Moreover, the classroom teachers, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The informal tea and the many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of reporting pupil’s 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 sublimate 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 of measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engaging in scares or 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, teacher’s conferences with parents are devoted to petty accounts of children’s misdemeanors, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestion for penalties and rewards at home.
    What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional advisor, 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 fostering the fullest development of youngsters’ capacities.
It can reasonably be inferred that the author ______.
选项 A、is satisfied with present relationships between home and school
B、feels that the traditional program in mathematics is slightly superior to the developmental program
C、believes that schools are lacking in guidance personnel
D、feels that parent-teacher interviews can be made much more constructive than they are at present
答案D
解析 本题可用排除法。选项A、B、C在文中找不到相应的依据，均与事实不符或相悖，故均可被排除。而从文章第六、七段可知，作者认为家长会不能开成告状会，而应开成相互沟通、协调及具有指导性的会议。故选D。
