问题     However important we may regard school life to he, there is no gainsaying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the great influence of 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 and thwart curricular objectives.
    Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents apprised of 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 teachers, 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 pupil’s 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 sublimate 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 of measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engaging in scares or 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, teacher’s conferences with parents are devoted to petty accounts of children’s misdemeanors, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestion for penalties and rewards at home.
    What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional advisor, 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] The author implies that ______.
选项 A、participation in interesting activities relating to a subject may improve one’s achievement in that area
B、too many children are lazy and have poor work habits
C、school principals do more than their share in interpreting the curriculum to the parents
D、teachers should occasionally make home visits to parents
答案 A
解析 文章第四段最后一句意思是“可以说服家长让其孩子参与讨论家庭预算、购买食品、在家里使用量杯、调拨时钟……等种种以数学知识为基础的相关活动”。作者在这里的言外之意是：让孩子们参与一些与某学科相关的趣味性活动，能促进孩子们在此学科中的发展，这一隐含的观点与选项A吻合，故A项是正确答案。
