问题     To illustrate the obstacles that parents unconsciously place in their children’s educational path, I’ll tell you a little story: An excellent, conscientious elementary school teacher who I know has a group of twenty-five 4-year-old children. The brand new school still lacks some basic supplies for the pupils. Also, consumable classroom materials, such as scissors and paper, generally tend to be paid for by their parents, who deposit funds into a common account for the teachers to draw from as needed. Anyway, the first general parent-teacher meeting was held and the teacher stated that after having evaluated the students’ development during the first week of class, her evaluation was that her primary objectives would include encouraging sharing amongst the children and stimulating an early interest in reading by providing them with a small library of picture books for them to leaf through, which would be donated to the class by the children themselves. As you would expect at this age, many of the little students were recalcitrant to share their property with the rest of their class. However, what’s really surprising is that many of their parents were even more uncooperative with this teacher’s approach than their own children. The general feeling amongst these querulous parents was that if the teacher wanted to get those books, the school should pay for them. Granted, their opinions are to be respected, but whether by commission or omission the eager teacher’s first two projects were shot down in their infancy. Sadly, I think it would take a mighty big-hearted teacher to risk approaching this particular group of parents, or any other for that matter, with another project of similar proportions. In short, if parents and students obstinately insist on making teachers and schools completely responsible for their children’s education, they can actually hinder it. Ironic, isn’t it?
选项
答案 为了说明家长在孩子的教育之路上无意中设置的障碍。我给你们讲个故事。我认识的一位优秀、尽职的小学老师教一组25名4岁大的儿童。崭新的学校仍缺乏供学生使用的基本设施。而且，课堂的损耗用品，如剪刀、纸张等通常倾向于由孩子的家长来负担，家长将资金存在老师们的共同账户上随需取用。教师和家长总算举行了第一次全体见面大会，这位老师声明，在对学生头一个星期课程中的发展状况进行评估后，她的评估结果是，她的主要目标包括鼓励孩子们相互分享并通过为他们提供一个让其迅速翻阅的小型图画书库来激发他们早期的阅读兴趣。这些图画书是由学生们自己捐赠的。正如你们对这个年龄所期望的那样，这些小学生中的许多都执拗地反对与班里的其他孩子分享他们的财产。然而，真正让人吃惊的是，许多家长甚至比他们的孩子更不配合老师的这个做法。在这些发牢骚的家长中，一种普遍的感觉是，如果老师想获得这些图书，学校应该出钱购买。诚然，他们的意见要尊重，但不管是出于有心还是无意，这位热忱的老师提出的前两项计划被扼杀在摇篮中了。我悲哀地认为，要想再以其他类似的计划去冒险接近这群特殊的或其他任何家长，恐怕需要极为宽阔的胸怀。简而言之，如果家长和学生固执地坚持让教师和学校为孩子的教育负全责，他们实际上会阻碍孩子的教育。具有讽刺意味，不是吗?
