9、students?Text Dont Blame Teachers When Its Parents Who Are Failing Mary Bousted 1 A very disruptive(causing problems,noise,etc.)six-year-old kicked my legs and clawed(to scratch or tear sb/sth with claws or with your nails)at my hand,said one teacher.I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs

10、 and butted,said another.Many people have heard stories like this.But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.2 In this country,we do not have a particularly positive record on good childhood.A report by Unicef,published last year,that described Britain as a picture of neglect(t

11、he fact of not giving enough care or attention to sth/sb)is now infamous(=notorious).We finished in the bottom third of 21 industrialized countries in five out of six categories material well-being(=wealth);health and safety;educational well-being(health);relationships;behavior and risks;and subject

12、ive well-being(=happiness)ending up overall last,after the United States.The Netherlands,Sweden,Denmark and Finland topped the league(a level of quality,ability,etc)table of child happiness.3 We have,as a nation,to do more and to do better in our duty of care to our children.The government has decla

13、red that every child matters(=is important).My union,the Association of Teachers and Lecturers,fully supports government efforts to improve the quality of childrens lives.We recognize that it has put its money where its mouth is moving beyond pious(having or showing a deep respect for God and religi

14、on)sentiments and hand-wringing(to twist and squeeze clothes,etc)to providing real support for vulnerable(weak and easily hurt physically or emotionally)children and families.4 Every child,irrespective of(=regardless of)the circumstances into which they are born,has the right to achieve their potent

15、ial,irrespective of their parents wealth and class.And we recognise that,as a nation,we are a long way from achieving this goal.5 But with rights come responsibilities and my fear is that we are in danger of neglecting(=ignoring)the latter.Let me give some examples.When the mum of 14-year-old Emma t

16、ells the head of year that Emma is pregnant,who does she hold responsible?She might blame the senior leadership team for the weakness of the schools PSHE(personal,social and health education)policy,or perhaps the PSHE teacher,or possibly Emmas tutor.She might,in other words,do anything she can to la

17、y the blame for her childs pregnancy at someone elses door.6 Or how about 16-year-old Jack whose parents come into school highly distressed(upset and anxious)because they have discovered he is a regular cannabis(a drug made from the dried leaves and flowers or resin of the hemp plant 大麻)user.Their d

18、istress causes them to hit out.Jack has been led astray(误导,误入歧途)by his school friends.More should have been done to educate him about the dangers of drug abuse.They threaten to go to the local press to tell their story.7 You might think these are extreme examples,but teacher members of ATL(Atlanta，美

19、国佐治亚州亚特兰大的简写)are reporting that such scenarios(a description of how things might happen in the future)are becoming more and more common.Teachers are becoming increasingly concerned(=worried)that they are being held responsible for aspects of children and young peoples lives 精品资料-欢迎下载-欢迎下载 名师归纳-第 2 页

27、at ATLs annual conference(=meeting).We know far too many children are behaving badly at school,even to the point of being violent to staff(=faculty).This is horrifying enough,but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring(reflecting)the behavior of their parents.9 My members t

28、ell me that parents often also come into school and threaten(=frighten)staff and some staff have been attacked by a pupils parents.One father encouraged his child to start a fight in the playground before school started.A parent provided a raw egg for a pupil to smash(break into pieces)over a teache

29、rs head.A primary teacher reported that a parent(swear-)swore(-sworn)and shouted at him.10 It is clear to me that we need to rebalance the equation.We need to have a serious and sensible(wise,reasonable)debate about the roles and responsibilities of parents and the support that they can reasonably e

30、xpect of schools and teachers.Only last week,Estyn,the Welsh Ofsted,published a report which shows that over the past five years the proportion of five-to seven-year-olds achieving good levels of reading and writing skills has stopped rising,in both English and Welsh.11 One of the key reasons for th

31、e standstill(a situation in which all activity or movement has stopped),the inspectors concluded,is that children are coming to school with poor skills in speaking and listening.The inspectors exhort(=persuade)schools to do more to improve their pupils oral skills,but do not question why it is that

32、pupils are starting school unable to converse(=talk)and to listen effectively.12 Just what is happening in the homes of these children?Why are they coming to school developmentally delayed?Children learn how to take turns in a conversation,how to ask questions,how to react to(respond to/reply)what o

33、thers say,how to follow instructions,how to tell jokes through doing all these things.They will not learn how to behave as social beings if they are stuck in front of the TV for hours every day.They need their parents to show an interest in them and to spend time with them,helping them to play with

34、their peers(colleagues,classmates)and to learn the rules of social behavior.13 Too many children start school without the social and verbal skills to be able to take part in(attend)lessons and to behave well.Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork,unused to(be not used to doing)

35、eating at a table,unable to use the lavatory(toilet)properly.These children will not be living in absolute poverty(the state of being poor).The majority will be living in homes with televisions,computers and PlayStations.What too many of them do not have are adults who are prepared(ready)to give the

36、ir time and energy doing that difficult,but most essential of jobs:raising(bringing up)their children properly.14 Ive been accused of wanting to ban(prohibit)television in childrens bedrooms,when for many parents a television in every room is the marker that they have made it(have succeeded)and that

37、 they have provided well for their children.It comes to something,I think,when the mark of good parenting is the(provide-)provision of a television which,in too many cases,becomes a substitute for parentinga constant pacifier which suppresses interaction in the family.15 We are in danger of becoming

38、 a nation of families living separate lives under one roof.The bedroom,once a place to sleep,has become the living space for the young.Spending hours in front of computer screens,on social networking sites or immersed in(absorbed in)computer games,children and young people spend little time with the
