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 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 ages 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.
Why is it horrifying to think that schools could be a place of injury or even death?
选项
A、Because some children bring weapons to school.
B、Because children may get injured at school.
C、Because people thought school is a safe place.
D、Because school violence carries a chain reaction.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。由定位句可知,人们总是认为学校是一个安全的地方,能保护孩子免遭成人世界中的一切磨难,故C)正确。A)“因为一些孩子把武器带到学校”、B)“因为孩子可能在学校受伤”都是学校暴力的表现形式,与题干不符,故排除;D)“因为学校暴力会产生连锁反应”,原文并未提到,故排除。
