The United States Values the Disable and Sick Child’s Education
The Supreme Court will hear arguments about the use of public money for the private schooling of children with special needs. It’s interesting to note what’s not at issue: namely, that when a public school system is unable to provide an appropriate education, it has to pay the costs of private school.
The case to be heard by the court is about whether parents have to enroll a child with special needs in public school before the child can attend private school at public expense. Special-education advocates say students shouldn’t have to waste time before being placed in a setting that best suits their needs, while school boards worry about a ruling that could amount to an unfettered right to private schooling at public expense. What strikes us about the emotionally charged debate is the acceptance by both sides that sometimes it is appropriate to use public money to pay for a child go to a private school. So. why all the argument about the approximately $ 14 million for a federally funded program that lets 1,700 D. C. students attend private schools instead of failing public schools?
To hear critics of the D. C. Opportunity Scholarship Program tell it. The use of public money for private schooling is as unprecedented, in addition to the billions of dollars spent annually on private school tuitions for students with disabilities, private schools get public money for books, technology and teacher training. As long as the money is seen as benefiting the child, it is considered a proper, even desirable, use of public dollars.
Don’t get us wrong. We’re not arguing for the unilateral right of parents to enroll their sons and daughters in any school they wish with the taxpayer picking up the bill. Abuse of special education policies has contributed to increase costs that threaten to take needed money from general public education funds. Safeguards are needed. Public schools should be pressed to do a better job for students with disabilities and students without. But there are schools in Washington where statistics show that failure is almost guaranteed. If a school system can’t educate a child whether because of acute special needs or its own historical failings why should that child not have options for a "free appropriate public education"?
Which of the following is true about the special-education advocates’ opinion?
选项
A、They strongly believe that children should be put directly into the private schools.
B、They think that children should try out both places before making the decision.
C、They don’t feel there is still a need to argue about this problem any more.
D、They hold the opinion that parents can make decisions for the children.
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。由题干关键词the special-education advocates定位到第二段第二句。本段第一句说:法院庭议主要围绕在当家长把孩子送往私立学校之前,是否必须先让有特殊需求的孩子接受一定的公立学校教育。而第二句马上说:特殊教育的支持者们说,孩子们不应该浪费时间,而应该直接进入能最好地满足他们需求的环境,也就是说他们认为孩子们应该直接进入私立学校接受合适的教育,故[A]为正确答案。[B]“他们认为孩子们应该两边都试试”,这在特殊教育支持者眼中是明显的浪费时间,故排除;“他们认为没有什么可争论的”与本句后半部分的内容冲突,本句就是在说双方的不同意见,故排除[C];“他们认为父母应该来做决定”没有依据,故排除[D]。
