问题    However important we may regard school life to be, there is no denying 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 obstruct curricular objectives.
   Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents informed of the newer method used in schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program, manuscript writing, and developmental mathematics.
   Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The many interviews carried on during the year as well as new ways of reporting pupils’ 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 convert 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 or measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip, and engaging in scores of 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, teachers’ conferences with parents are devoted to petty accounts of children’s offences, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for penalties and rewards at home.
   What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional adviser, 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 stimulating the fullest development of youngsters’ capacities.  
The author’s primary purpose in writing this passage is to
选项 A、improve the teaching of mathematics.
B、tell parents to pay more attention to the guidance of teachers in the matter.
C、help ensure that every child’s capacities are fully, developed when leaving school.
D、urge the use of a much underused resource-the parent.
答案D
解析 A项“改进数学教育”显然与中心无关，在第四段中提到“在家里培养孩子学习数学能力”只是举的一个例子，为了说明如何以一种更好的方式在家庭中教育孩子，所以不选A项。B、C两项都很牵强附会，没涉及文章中心。第一段和第四段都强调家长的重大影响，“他们是教育孩子的同盟军”，作者目的正是“呼吁学校充分开发潜在的人力资源——家长”。
