Latin is a language no longer spoken by people in their daily routine life,but many Latin words are still widely used in our writings.For example,“In loco parentis”is a Latin term meaning“in the place of a parent”.It describes when someone else accepts responsibility to act in the interests of a child.This idea developed long ago in British common law to define the responsibility of teachers toward their students.For years,American courts supported in loco parentis in cases such as Gott versus Berea College in nineteen thirteen.
Gott owned a restaurant off campus.Berea threatened to expel students who are at places not owned by the sch001.The Kentucky high court decided that in loco parentis justified that rule.In local parentis meant that male and female college students usually had to live in separate buildings.Women had to be back at their dorms by ten or eleven on school nights.
But in the nineteen sixties,students began to protest against rules and restrictions like these.At the same time,courts began to support students who were being punished for being politically and behave different.
Some were not considered adults until twenty-one.Then,in nineteen seventy-one,the twenty-fifth Amendment to the Constitution(《宪法修正案》)set the voting age at eighteen.So in loco parentis no longer really applied.Slowly,colleges began to treat students not as children,but as adults.Some came to be seen as consumers of educational services.
Gary Dickstein,an assistant vice president at Wright State University in Dayton,Ohio,says in loco parentis is not really gone.It just looks different.Today’s parents,he says,are often heavily involved in students’lives.They are known as“helicopter parents”;they always seem to hover over their children.Gary Dickstein says these parents are very likely to question decisions,especially about safety issues and grades.They want to make sure their financial investment is not being wasted.
As a result,in loco parentis has been replaced by what some administrators call a partnership between the school and the family.As a matter of fact,the orientation program for new students at Virginia Tech this summer includes a meeting for parents called“Parents as Partners”.
Overprotective parents could be described as“________”.
选项
A、loco parentis
B、parents as partners
C、shrewd financial investors
D、helicopter parents
答案
D
解析
细节题。根据文章第五段前四句,讲到"in loco parentis"并没有消失,只是看上去不同了而已。当今的父母过多地参与到学生的生活中,他们被认为是"helicopter parents",故选D。
