阅读理解。 However important school life may be, we can"t ignore the fact that children spend more
time at home than in the classroom. Therefore the great influence of parents can"t be ignored
or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong supports of the school or they can
consciously or unconsciously prevent the school from accomplishing its aims.
Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents apprised of the newer methods
used in schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the
reading readiness program and developmental math.
Moreover, the classroom teacher can also play an important role in explaining to parents what
they should do. The informal tea and many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new
ways of reporting pupils" progress, can significantly aid the interchange of ideas between school
and home.

friendly interview,the teacher can help the parent change his method. He might be persuaded to
let Junior participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a measuring cup at
home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engage 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 math and at the same time, enjoying the work.
Too often, however, teachers" conferences with parents are devoted to unimportant accounts
of children" s wrongdoing,complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for
punishments and rewards at home.
What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional advisor, plants
ideas in parents" minds for the best use 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"
