Surprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals, still less the content or quality of that education. Proper records are just not kept.
We know that more than 850,000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital. We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1,000 children in hospital.
Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country. It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter have only a part-time teacher. The special children’s hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off.
From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher—and that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games.
Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as "the library lady" or just "the helper".
Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work. Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school. Once back at school, children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best they can.
Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.
We can conclude from the passage that the author is _______.
选项
A、unfavourable towards children receiving education in hospitals
B、in favour of the present state of teaching in hospitals
C、unsatisfied with the present state of hospital teaching
D、satisfied with the results of the latest survey
答案
C
解析
本题询问作者对医院内教学状况的态度。全文表明,目前医院内的教学状况不尽如人意。例如:尽管每个儿童在住院时都有受教育的权利,但实际上每1000个住院儿童只配有1位教师。英格兰收治儿童的医院中有一半都没有教师,还有四分之一的医院只有兼职教师。而在有教师的医院里,儿童与教师接触的时间仅有两个小时。因此C为正确选项。
