问题    However important we may regard school life to be, the fact cannot be denied that children spend more time at home than in the classrooms. Therefore, the great influence of parents cannot be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong allies of school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously hinder and thwart curricula 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 reading readiness programs, 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 sublimate his natural parental 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 misdemeanors, 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 fostering the fullest development of youngsters’ capacities.
What should be done to help parents to understand and further the objectives of the school?
选项 A、The teacher should keep in touch with parents.
B、The teacher should tell parents their children’s shortcomings.
C、The teacher should make a curricula objectives for parents.
D、The teacher should make good friends with parents.
答案A
解析 推理题。作者认为“The many interviews significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home”，由此可知，教师和家长之间保持联系是帮助家长共同参与完成学校目标的一个方式。
