Every other week it seems a new study comes out that adds to our already-formidable store of parental worries. But even by those upgraded standards, the report issued last week by the federal government’s National Center for Health Statistics contained a jaw-dropper: the parents of nearly one of every five boys in the United States were concerned enough about what they saw as their sons’ emotional or behavioral problems that they consulted a doctor or a healthcare professional. By comparison, about one out of 10 parents of girls reported these kinds of problems.
The report confirms what many of us have been observing for some time now: that lots of school-age boys are struggling. And, parents are intensely worried about them.
What is bothering our sons? Some experts suggest we are witnessing an epidemic of ADD(attention deficit disorder)and say boys need more treatment. Others say that environmental pollutants found in plastics, among other things, may be eroding their attention spans and their ability to regulate their emotions.
Those experts may be right but I have another suggestion. Let’s examine the way our child rearing and our schools have evolved in the last 10 years. Then ask ourselves this challenging question: could some of those changes we have embraced in our families, our communities and our schools be driving our sons crazy?
Instead of unstructured free play, parents now schedule their kids’ time from dawn till dusk(and sometimes beyond). By age 4, an ever-increasing number of children are enrolled in preschool. There, instead of learning to get along with other kids, hold a crayon(蜡笔)and play Duck, Duck, Goose, children barely out of diapers are asked to fill out work sheets, learn calculation or study Mandarin. The drumbeat(鼓声)for early academics gets even louder when they enter "real" school. Veteran teachers will tell you that first graders are now routinely expected to master a curriculum that, only 15 years ago, would have been considered appropriate for second, even third graders. The way we teach children has changed, too. In many communities, elementary schools have become test-prep factories — where standardized testing begins in kindergarten and "teaching to the test" is considered a virtue. At the same time, recess(休息时间)is being pushed aside in order to provide extra time for reading and math drills. So is history and opportunities for hands-on activities — like science labs and art. Active play is increasingly frowned on — some schools have even banned recess and tag. In the wake of school shootings like the tragedy at Virginia Tech, kids who stretch out a pointer finger, bend their thumb and shout "pow!" are regarded with suspicion and not little fear. [br] The author wants the parents to be aware that______.
选项
A、it is useless sending boys to preschools
B、they should spend more time with their kids
C、the current way of educating children might have problems
D、their children face serious emotional or behavioral problems
答案
C
解析
根据题干中The author将本题出处准确定位到第四段。该段首句明确提到作者对孩子出问题的原因有一个看法,接着作者作了进一步说明:让我们回顾一下养育孩子的方式以及学校在过去十年里的变化方式,然后问我们自己这个有挑战性的问题:有没有可能是我们所支持的发生在我们家里、社区和学校里的一些变化正在把我们的孩子逼疯呢?下段讲述了孩子在学前班和小学所接受的教育,以此来说明学校教育方式对孩子的不良影响。由此可知,作者写这篇文章想让家长意识到现在教育方式可能存在问题,故答案为[C]。
