We would lay less stress on “facts and figures“ and more on a good memory, on applied psychology, and on the capacity of a man to get along with
7、his fellow citizens. If our educational system were fashioned after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form of “college“ imaginable. Among the people whom we like to call savages all knowledge inherited by tradition is shared by all; it is taught to every member of the tribe so that
8、 in this respect everybody is equally equipped for life.It is the ideal condition of the “equal start“ which only our most progressive forms of modem education try to regain. In primitive cultures the obligation to seek and to receive the traditional instruction is binding to all. There are no “illi
9、terates“-if the term can be applied to people without a script-while our own compulsory school attendance became law in Germany in 1642, in France in 1806, and in England 1876, and is still non-existent in a number of “civilized“ nations. This shows how long it was before we deemed it necessary to m
10、ake sure that all our children could share in the knowledge accumulated by the “happy few“ during the past centuries.Education in the wilderness is not a matter of monetary means. All are entitled to an equal start. There is none of the hurry which, in our society, often hampers the full development
11、 of a growing personality. There, a child grows up under the ever-present attention of his parents, therefore the jungles and the grasslands know of no “juvenile delinquency“. No necessity of making a living away from home results in neglect of children and no father is confronted with his inability
12、 to “buy“ an education for his child.（分数：7.50）(1).The word “interest“ in the first paragraph most probably means _.

16、cance of Modern Education C. Educational Investment and the Profit It Brings D. Education: A Comparison between Past and Present（分数：1.50）A.B.C.D.However important we may regard school life to be, there is no gainsaying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore,
17、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 hinder and thwart curricular objectives.Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents informed of the newer methods used in school
18、s. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program, manuscript writing, and developmental mathematics.Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The many interview
19、s carried on during the years as well as new ways of reporting pupils 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 teac
20、her 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 or measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip, and engaging in sc
21、ores of 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, teachers conferences with parents are dev
22、oted to petty accounts of childrens misdemeanors, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for penalties and rewards at home.What is needed is more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional adviser, plants ideas in parents minds for the best utilization of the
