问题     Maintaining classroom discipline is a growing problem for many schools. (46)Some children seem incapable of following the rules, perhaps because they feel they are unreasonable or unclear.
    There can be no such excuse at Bebington High School on the Wirral. When children misbehave at Bebington, the teacher immediately writes their names on the classroom board. They know they are in trouble and they know what the penalty is likely to be. Their classmates know too that the choice to break the rules was their own.
    (47)The effect, claim the proponents of this American system of discipline, has been to improve behaviour, allowing more time to be spent on teaching. "Assertive discipline" was introduced into Bebington last September and Margaret Hodson, a science teacher, says the results are "little short of a miracle".
    Since the program was introduced into England two years ago, 450 schools, 80 per cent of them primary have adopted the scheme. Whether the program spreads more widely depends to some extent on the government’s attitude. (48)Adrian Smith, of Behaviour Management, the Bristol—based company marketing the scheme in Brian, will this week meet Eric Forth, the Junior Schools Minister, to tell him of the benefits achieved by schools using the program.
    Bebington, a 1000-pupil ll-to-18 secondary modern school, was always considered good for a school of its type, but staff claim that standards of behaviour increased dramatically last term, with an improvement in the work rate of the children and less stress on the teachers.
    (49)The basis of the programme, which costs schools $22 a day for each person trained, is that all children have a right to choose how they behave but they must face the consequences of that choice. A set of straightforward rules is displayed on a wall in each classroom, together with a set of rewards and consequences.
    (50)The rules at Bebington are: arrive on time to lessons and enter the room quietly; remain in your seat unless asked to move; come to lessons properly equipped; listen to and follow instructions the first time they are given; raise your hand before answering or speaking; and treat other, their work and equipment with respect.

选项
答案这种美国式纪律制度的拥护者声称，这样做的效果使学生的行为好转，就可以把更多的时间用于教学。
解析 该句是由几个短句构成的，翻译起来比较容易。"claim the proponents of this American system of discipline"，是一句插入语，从语法角度分析，他是对前一句做进一步的解释和说明，或者可代替前面整个一句话，依据汉语的表达习惯，我们可采用"分译法"。"allowing more time"中分词短语作状语，表示伴随。
