Text 2 Disruptive students are a headache for public schools.They distract from lessons,skip class,and often bring down the graduation rates.That's why school districts across the country have resorted to opening altemative schools in recent decades,with hopes that smaller classes and individual attention might help these students get their diplomas.But even these alternative schools(which differ from charter schools in that they are still part of school districts and thus answer to supervisors)can be a burden:They're expensive to run,and their graduation rates are still pretty low.Desperate for help,many school districts are now hiring private companies to manage these altemative schools and educate their most troublesome students.Large,urban districts like Chicago and Philadelphia have been working with this emerging industry for several years now.Though research shows that problematic students in Philadelphia did better in alternative schools than traditional ones,there is a wide variance in school quality,and detailed information about their curricula is scarce.The question on the table is whether a business whose job it is to make money can better educate vulnerable students than a public system with no profit motive.It's not too different from the dynamic between the federal government and the private companies running its prisons across the country.But the Justice Department announced last week that it would stop contracting with the private sector,in part because it doesn't seem to save that much money,and in part because the service didn't improve either.Richmond is one of the latest cities to experiment with outsourcing education.In July,the city hired a Texas-based company called Camelot Education to run the Richmond Altemative SchooL which last year served 223 students from across the city in grades 6 through 11.Nearly all of the students at Richmond Alternative are black(97 percent)and most are poor(87 percent qualify for free lunches).Somc black parents once dubbed it the"colored children's prison"and it has been criticized for contributing to what's called the school-to-prison pipeline-Virginia is the state that refers the most students to law enforcement.Data provided by Richmond's school district shows that its altemative school has been floundering for years,When the school year ended three months ago,the numbers were alarming:The dropout rate had jumped to 38 percent,compared t0 28 percent just two years earlier.And students'scores in nearly every subject had fallen by 50 percent or more during that time.It can be inferred that alternative schools are founded to_____A.offer diplomas to disruptive kidsB.lay heavy burdens on local schoolsC.provide smaller classes and individual attentionD.prevent disruptive children from entering public schools
选项
A.offer diplomas to disruptive kids
B.lay heavy burdens on local schools
C.provide smaller classes and individual attention
D.prevent disruptive children from entering public schools
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。根据定位词定位到第一段第三句。该句提到,“希望小班和个人关注能够帮助这些学生获得文凭”,故A项“给问题学生提供文凭”为正确选项。【干扰排除】B项“给当地学校带来沉重的负担”是当地学校和政府的问题,不是非传统学校的问题,可排除;c项“提供小班和对个人的关注”是校方希望通过这样的方式来帮助问题学生,而不是非传统学校建立的目的,故C项错误;问题学生让公立学校很头疼,但是并没有直接提到他们被公立学校抛弃,他们就读的非传统学校只是酱通学校的一部分,故D项错误。
