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.
The author doesn’t think schools should take full responsibility for children’s safety because________.
选项
A、adults who are responsible for children sometimes neglect them
B、about one-third of households with children own at least one gun
C、children spend too much time on television when at home
D、only 39% of homes having guns follow the gun-safety recommendation
答案
A
解析
本题考查作者认为学校不应为孩子的安全负全责的原因。定位句指出,孩子也会因为监护人疏忽大意而受伤甚至死亡,由此可知儿童受到伤害的责任不应完全由学校承担,故A为答案。B“大约三分之一有孩子的家庭不止拥有一把枪支”、C“孩子在家里看电视的时间过长”以及D“只有39%拥有枪支的家庭采纳了枪支安全建议”都是父母对孩子监护不力的具体表现,故排除。
