School shootings are in the news again. An Ohio teenager opened fire on five classmates, killing three students and injuring two others. In Seattle, the 9-year-old boy brought a gun to school and seriously injured a classmate when it was accidentally discharged in his backpack.
Children are injured and murdered every day, but school violence carries a symbolic effect because we like to think of schools as safe havens from the harshness of adult life. It’s horrifying to think that the institutions could be a place of injury or even death.
Politicians and taxpayers like to hold teachers accountable for their students’ failures for the belief that a child’s fate rests largely in the hands of the teacher in whose care he or she spends approximately 1,000 hours per year. Yet the remaining 7,760 hours are on someone else’s watch:the parents—children spend on average only about 11% of their childhood lives in school.
But we rarely talk honestly about what can happen during the other eight-ninths of their waking and even sleeping hours. Children arrive at school poorly nourished and too fatigued to work. They spend too much time on television and too little on exercise. They are poorly socialized in ways that inhibit learning and kindness. They also bring unsecured weapons to school and use them on innocent people, including, sometimes, themselves.
Where are the parents? Children are being injured and killed through the shameful negligence of the adults who are responsible for them. Roughly one-third of households with children report owning at least one gun. 43% of these homes report keeping firearms in an unlocked place, while only 39% of these homes keep the guns locked, unloaded and separate from bullet, as recommended by many gun-safety advocates. Nationally, 90% of fatal firearm shootings of children ages 0 to 14 occur in the home.
We are not saying that every time a kid does something wrong, a parent must be held responsible or be blamed. But a system that focuses its attention for kids’ failings everywhere but at home is equally blind. We hold hosts liable when a driver drinks at their home and kills someone while driving drunk. Having an unlocked, loaded gun in a home with a child under 16 should be a crime. [br] The author suggests in the last paragraph that______.
选项
A、teachers should not be blamed for children’s wrong deeds
B、parents should be responsible for their children’s wrong deeds
C、those having children under 16 get punished if they can’t keep their gun safely
D、education system should focus its attention on kids’ failures everywhere
答案
C
解析
观点态度题。根据原文可知,作者认为许多儿童受到伤害都是在家庭中由于家庭枪支保管不善而造成的。因此作者建议家庭中有16岁以下儿童而又不对枪支进行上锁和退膛的行为都应算作犯罪,故C)正确。A)“老师不应当因学生的不当行为受责备”、B)“父母应当为孩子的不当行为负责”都不符合原文意思,故排除;D)“教育体系应当关注儿童在任何地方的失误”是对原文的错误理解,原文指出一个看不到家庭对儿童影响的教育体系是盲目的,故排除。
