问题     About 2 percent of American students are now taught at home. Educators are confused about how this growing practice should be regulated, and also wonder whether children who are not fully registered in school should get some public services. The issue shows how dim the line between public and private education can become, even when that private education is delivered at home.
    Probably about half the parents who teach at home are religiously motivated and use lessons by mail (or Internet) from church schools. Perhaps an additional fourth have some doubts about public education, think schools are unsafe or the fact that their children have special needs that regular schools don’t meet. In some cases, parents home-school to escape compulsory(义务) education: they do least teaching while having older children care for younger sisters or brothers or work in home businesses. Although children often learn well at home, weak regulations in most states mean that officials rarely challenge or monitor parents who say they are home-schooling. With growing frequency, however, public schools offer services to the home-schooled. Districts may permit them to enroll part time for instance: educators fear that otherwise these children could later return full time with serious academic weaknesses, and in any case some districts wanting to qualify for state aid can benefit from part-timers filling empty seats.
    Here in Helena, Mary Brown has taught her 12 children at home while manufacturing clothing there in her non-teaching hours. Mrs. Brown says her motive is to give more training in basics, like phonics(发音学) than public schools offer. Most of her curriculum is from a church school, with tests returned by mail.
    Two years ago her seventh child, Andrea, wanting to join regular athletic programs, enrolled at Capital High School. Andrea soon changed her mind and continued home study. But she had liked gym and chorus (合唱) , so Mrs. Brown asked that she be allowed to continue in them while taking other courses at home.
It can be inferred from the passage that______.
选项 A、no measures can be taken to regulate the home-schooling education
B、most parents are not satisfied with public education
C、it is wiser for schools to accept part-time enrollment
D、the home-schooled have no difference with those in public schools
答案C
解析 推理判断题。根据短文第二段的最后一句可推知，选项C正确。第一段开头提到教育专家对如何规范家庭教育感到困惑，但这并不意味着没有解决办法，因此选项A不恰当；第二段提到有四分之一的家长对公共教育持怀疑态度，所以B项错误；选项D在文中没有提及。故选C。
