2、kly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A ), B) , C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the in formation given in the passage.Parents Who Dont ParentAfter years of often dishonest statistical manipula
3、tion, our shameful secret has been revealed: urban education in America is in shambles. A recent report by Americas Promise Alliance documents that our nations 50 largest cities graduate only 50% of their high school students. In low-income communities, where there is no safety net and opportunities
4、 for success already are scarce, dropping out is the death knell of hope. By age 17, urban dropouts are relegated to a life on the fringes: higher rates of poverty, unemployment, government assistance, health problems, etc. In a country that brags of its level playing field and claims to value our c
5、hildren and their education above all else, how have we allowed such a massive failure to fester amongst our own?In my nine years of experience at the school, I have observed two definite factors that separate the dropouts from the graduates: academic skills and parental involvement. Students with s
6、trong academic abilities and supportive parents are basically guaranteed to graduate. Remedial students who benefit from involved, proactive parents are likely to earn a diploma. Conversely, dedicated students who possess good academic skills can possibly graduate despite living with uninvolved pare
7、nts or in dysfunctional home environments. However, students with poor academic skills who also suffer from a lack of parental involvement or support have virtually no chance of graduating from high school.A fifty percent dropout rate necessitates drastic and immediate action. It is not enough to de
8、mand that urban public schools have access to the same quality and quantity of teachers, resources, technologies, facilities, and post-secondary opportunities as are already available in the schools of affluent communities. School systems in low-income communities must also compensate for struggling
9、 or uninvolved parents by providing additional educational support and services that have been traditionally considered the responsibility of individual families.Although many urban schools are experimenting with a number of innovative programs to shoulder this extra burden, two potential initiative
10、s hold the most promise for boosting student performance on Chicagos west side: early education for all children beginning at age 1 and expansion of the academic year at elementary and middle schools with longer days and shorter vacations.A recent Chicago Tribune article quotes a number of prominent
11、 scientists and educators agreeing that the most significant stage of brain development occurs between birth and age 3. And yet this formative period of a childs education is left to the involvement and economic abilities of the parents. My affluent friends pay extraordinary sums to place their chil
12、dren in dynamic daycares in addition to the many hours of educational interaction that occurs in the home. On the other hand, my students children and younger siblings are often left in the televised care of relatives or unlicensed daycares. Although federal Head Start programs are available in many
13、 low-income communities, only three percent of eligible children take advantage of this early education opportunity.As a result, according to a report cited by the Tribune, children with upper-income backgrounds hear 30 million more words by age 3 than those from welfare families. Clearly, many chil
14、dren are entering urban elementary schools at a tremendous learning and socialization disadvantage. Most urban elementary schools do not possess the resources to singularly rectify the educational deficiencies of the lowest performing students. Worse, elementary school teachers report that students
15、who enter the primary grades with insufficient skills fall further behind with each passing academic year. These struggling students rarely find any academic success and their continual failures eventually lead them to drop out.To address this initial and rarely insurmountable inequity, free educati
16、on ought to be compulsory at age 1, not age 5. Early intervention is required to ensure that all children are activating and engaging their brains during these crucial years.Also, the K-8 school year ought to be expanded from 180 days to 220 days and the K-8 school day from six hours to eight hours.
17、 The extra time could be utilized tutoring, reading, practicing skills, completing homework and pursuing the artistic, cultural, and athletic activities that no longer exist in the typical urban school schedule.As important as the academic benefits, the expanded schedule would also offer safety and
18、stability to the lives of urban students. It makes little sense for urban students to be dismissed from school at 2.30 in the afternoon. Affluent or informed parents often organize a full slate of after-school activities for their children. However, too many urban children are left to their own devi
19、ces. Instead of acting in plays, or learning a foreign language, these children are forced to find entertainment on the street or on television. Instead of enjoying a comprehensive education, these children are pursing knowledge and behaviors that run counter to the lessons of school and the expecta
20、tions of the community.Although both initiatives are of course expensive, real world “experiments“ demonstrate that early childhood education and an expanded school year can result in higher academic achievement for urban students. While these improvements are certainly meaningful in the battle agai
21、nst the dropout crisis, the most effective solution to failing schools and failing students is involved parents.Parental involvement is and always will be the key factor in a childs educational success. Yet too many American parents are neither involved nor supportive of their own childs learning an
22、d educational development. Government, community and educational leaders are fierce in their criticism of uninvolved parents, but proposed solutions are few other than demands for personal and community responsibility.According to the Wall Street Journal Barack Obama deems “parents who dont parent“
23、one of the most serious challenges facing the country. In a recent North Carolina campaign ad, Obama vowed to improve education but also emphasized that “the truth is government cant do it all. “ During his campaign speeches, he implores parents “to turn off the TV set. Make sure your child is doing
24、 their homework. Have a curfew so your childs not out all hours of the night. If your child misbehaves in school, dont curse out the teacher. “The Journal also reports that Obamas rhetoric about personal responsibility “brings the loudest applause from African-American audiences. “ Most likely, he i
