25、stakes. Thirdly, I【 C15】 _ it essential for a teacher to be both intellectually and morally honest. This does not mean being a saint.

43、no one knows how many children receive education, in English hospitals, still less the content or quality of that education. Proper records are just not kept. We know that more than 850,000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to re

Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country, h is found that half the hospitals in Engl
45、and which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter have only a part-time teacher. The special childrens hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off. From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some cont

Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or re fused by the school. Once back at school, children rarely get ex
49、tra teaching, and are told to catch up as best they can. Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed. 78 The author points out at the beginning that _. （ A） every child in hospital receives
