问题     However important we regard school life to be, there is no denying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the great influence of the parents cannot be ignored by the teacher. They can become strong allies of the school personnel or they consciously or unconsciously hinder and thwart curricular objectives.
    Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents acquainted with the newer methods used in schools. 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 informal tea and the many interviews carried on during the year, as well as 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 One arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher 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 up at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engaging in scores 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 devoted to petty accounts of children’s misdemeanors, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for penalties and rewards at home.
    What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional adviser, plants ideas in parents’ minds for the best utilization of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom. In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters’ capacities. [br] In Paragraph 4, with the example of teacher-father interview about arithmetic drilling, the author’s purpose is to explain that______.
选项 A、arithmetic can be taught in an enjoyable way
B、the father should have his son involved in household chores
C、the teacher may help parents better educate their children at home
D、the traditional arithmetic instruction is outdated
答案 C
解析 段落大意题。本题考查对第三、四段的理解，即教师可以帮助家长改进教学方法，而非仅强调教学方法的改进，所以应该选C。
