Given the poor academic track record of public education in many areas of this country, you would think the government and education establishment would be a little less arrogant about superimposing their will on homeschooling families. It’s not that homeschooling families are afraid of competing with their public school counterparts. According to official reports for the American College Testing Program(ACT), homeschoolers have scored higher on average than students in public and private schools. In 2000, the average composite ACT score for high school students was 21, while homeschool students scored 22.8.
This move to make homeschoolers meet public school standards was "odd" given the superior academic performance of homeschoolers. Nevertheless, some homeschooling families are still reluctant to submit to standardized testing because it would be an indirect method for the state to gain control over the curriculum. If homeschoolers were required to pass standardized tests geared to public school curricula, is it not inevitable that their families would have to alter their curricula to teach to those tests? This is a freedom issue. We’ve seen the extent to which the educational establishment influences public school curricula, often in directions that many parents—not just homeschooling ones—would consider repugnant.
So despite homeschooling’s outstanding academic track record, we can expect persistent opposition from the establishment, sometimes reaching the point of policemen and social workers at homeschoolers homes threatening to snatch away their children. But we can also be sure that homeschooling families will continue to resist this oppression. They deserve our support, because they are fighting over the most fundamental rights of a free society: the right to raise and educate children as they see fit. They are carrying the banner of liberty for all of us.
Which of the following is the author’s viewpoint towards homeschooling?
选项
A、Homeschooling is a form of freedom that needs no regulations.
B、Homeschooling is a better way to educate a child.
C、Homeschoolers need a more flexible form of education.
D、While he doesn’t agree with homeschooling, he supports their right to it.
答案
A
解析
属态度推断题。作者认为家中教育是自由选择的问题,不应受到制约。作者的态度主要体现于二、三两段。B项不是作者态度的重心。C、D两项不是作者的观点。
