So, if youre from the UK or Ireland and feel as though Mothers Day has come around again (27) quickly th
24、is year, its because you already celebrated it on March 30. There are two main dates (28) Mothers Day: in Britain and Ireland its the fourth Sunday of March and for the US, Hong Kong, Australia and most of the world, its the second Sunday in May.The reason for the discrepancy is a somewhat (29) hist
25、ory. Many believe the holidays English (30) can be found in the 16th century where, on Laetare Sunday (fourth Sunday in Lent), Christians would-visit the main church in their region: the “mother church“. This was also an era when children working as (31) would go home to visit family, and so the hol

In Kentucky, parents, educators a
35、nd policy makers can track how many students from a high school go to college, and once they are there, how many require remedial classes (补习班). Massachusetts is one of several states with an early warning indicator system, which notifies school officials when students appear to be at risk for dropp
36、ing out of high school. And in Georgia, teachers can easily access years of test scores, class, grades and attendance rates for any student.B. Student data advocates argue that used correctly data, including student attendance, test scores and demographics (人口统计), can enrich education. Teachers can
37、better personalize instruction for students, principals can view the academic records of students who move across school districts and parents can determine whether a child is on track for college, to name just a few examples.C. But that promise comes with threats to students privacy. Parents have e
38、xpressed concerns that if teachers have easy access to students entire academic histories, they might write off those with poor records, or that student information might fall into the hands of sexual predators (侵害者). Those concerns have led to heated debates about how much data schools should be co
39、llecting, how it should be stored and who should have access to it.D. Over the past year, the Common Core State Standards have also triggered discussions about student data, although the standards do not call for the federal government to collect data. “Theres no denying that education technology ha
40、s the potential to transform learning if its used wisely,“ said Joni Lupovitz, vice president of policy at Common Sense Media, which this fall launched a campaign to raise awareness about student privacy issues. “What were working to ensure is that as educators, parents and student embrace more and
41、more education technology, (and) balance the equation by focusing on student privacy to help ensure that were creating an atmosphere where kids can learn and be engaged and thrive without putting their personal information at risk.“Relying on a 1970s LawE. Until recently, most states weighing privac
42、y questions relied on the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a 1974 law intended to protect student education records. But in recent years, the U.S. Department of Education has made regulatory changes to the law, creating many exceptions. For example, education records now ma
43、y be shared with outside contractors, such as private companies that track grades or attendance on behalf of school systems. The changes have prompted some states to examine whether they should play a stronger role in protecting student data.F. Paige Kowalski, director of state policy and advocacy f
44、or the Data Quality Campaign, a nonprofit that advocates for the effective use of data to improve student achievement, said states are starting to realize they need more sophisticated and comprehensive policies, regulations and practices around student privacy, and that they cant just rely on FERPA.
45、G. “All states have privacy laws on the books, but a lot of them are old,“ Kowalski said. “A lot of them just dont have modem policies that were written acknowledging that data is even at the state level, let alone stored electronically and because of technology is able to move.“ Kowalski added that
46、 states privacy policies might refer to outdated information practices, such as checking out paper documents, while failing to discuss modem needs like encryption (加密).H. Most school districts rely on cloud computingmeaning data are stored on servers that can be accessed through the Internetfor ever
47、ything from cafeteria payments to attendance records. But a recent study by the Center on Law and Information Policy at Fordham Law School concluded that most cloud-based services are “poorly understood, nontransparent and weakly governed“ by schools. Most school districts fail to inform parents tha
48、t they are using cloud-based services, and many contracts with web-based vendors (供应商) fail to address privacy issues, the study found.Keeping Parents in the DarkI. The Electronic Privacy Information Center, a nonprofit research group in Washington, D.C., filed a lawsuit in February 2012 against the U.S. Department of Education challenging its FERPA changes, but a federal court dismissed the lawsuit for lack of standing.J.
