问题     However important we may regard school life to he, there is no gainsaying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the great influence of parents cannot be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong allies of the school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously hinder and thwart curricular objectives.
    Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents apprised of the newer methods used in schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program, manuscript writing and developmental mathematics.
    Moreover, the classroom teachers, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The informal tea and the many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of reporting pupil’s progress, can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home.
    To illustrate, suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent sublimate his natural paternal interest into productive channels. He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a yardstick of measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engaging in scares or other activities that have a mathematical basis.
    If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics, and at the same time, enjoying the work.
    Too often, however, teacher’s conferences with parents are devoted to petty accounts of children’s misdemeanors, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestion for penalties and rewards at home.
    What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional advisor, plants ideas in parents’ minds for the best utilization of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom.
    In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters’ capacities.
We may infer that the writer of the article does not favor ______.
选项 A、father’s helping his son with the latter’s studies.
B、written communications to the latter’s studies.
C、having the parent observe lessons which the children are being taught
D、principal-parent conferences rather than teacher-parent conferences.
答案D
解析 从文章第三段可以看出，教师在启迪家长方面的作用是至关重要的，因此，教师常与家长沟通、在一起开会远远胜过校长主持的家长会，这是作者赞成的观点。而选项D恰恰表达了与此相反的观点，因此是作者所不赞成的观点，即本题的正确答案。
