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"?
What does the word "unfettered" (Line 9, Para. 2) mean?
选项
A、Unlimited.
B、Extreme.
C、Unwanted.
D、Ultimate.
答案
A
解析
语义理解题。由题干关键词unfettered定位到第二段第二句可知:特殊教育的支持者们说,孩子们不应该在公立学校浪费时问,而应该直接进入能最好地满足他们需求的环境,而各学校董事会则担心这样的规定可能会导致家长无限制地选择私立教育,从而损害了公众利益。由worry about,amount to等词可以推断如果不加以限制,家长们的权力就会过大,从而导致公共资金的不正当使用。所以A“没有限制的”为正确答案。B“极端的”、C“不想要的”和D“最终的”均与文意不符,故排除。
