问题     However important we regard school life to be, there is no denying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the great influence of the parents cannot be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong allies of the school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously hinder (阻碍) and thwart(阻止) curricular objectives.
    Administers have been aware of the need’ to keep parents acquainted with the newer methods used in schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program, manuscript writing and developmental mathematics.
    Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The informal tea and the many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of reporting pupils’ progress, can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home.
    To illustrate, suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent elevate his natural paternal interest into productive channels. He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a yardstick or measuring up at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.
    If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics, and at the same time, enjoying the work.
    Too often, however,  teachers’ conferences with parents are devoted to petty accounts of children’s misdemeanors, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for penalties and rewards at home.
    What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional adviser, plants ideas in parents’ minds for the best utilization of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom.
    In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters’ capacities. [br] It can be inferred that the author______.
选项 A、is satisfied with present relationships between home and school
B、feels that traditional program in mathematics is highly superior to the developmental program
C、feels that parent-teacher interviews can be made much more constructive than they are at present
D、is of the opinion that teachers of this generation are superior to those of the last one
答案 C
解析 推断题，该题要求考生判断作者的观点。答题依据在第六段。从该段开头的however及其所引出的内容可以知道，作者认为教师和家长在联系过程中所讨论的内容都是无关紧要的问题，并对此提出了不同意见。由此，我们可以推断出作者的观点为[C] feels that parent—teacher interviews can be made much more constructive than they are at present(作者认为家长和教师交流的现状应该改进，使其更富有成果。)
