The United States Values the Disable and Sick Child’s Education
The Supreme Court will hear arguments about the use of public money for the private schooling of children with special needs. It’s interesting to note what’s not at issue: namely, that when a public school system is unable to provide an appropriate education, it has to pay the costs of private school.
The case to be heard by the court is about whether parents have to enroll a child with special needs in public school before the child can attend private school at public expense. Special-education advocates say students shouldn’t have to waste time before being placed in a setting that best suits their needs, while school boards worry about a ruling that could amount to an unfettered right to private schooling at public expense. What strikes us about the emotionally charged debate is the acceptance by both sides that sometimes it is appropriate to use public money to pay for a child go to a private school. So, why all the argument about the approximately $ 14 million for a federally funded program that lets 1,700 D. C. students attend private schools instead of failing public schools?
To hear critics of the D. C. Opportunity Scholarship Program tell it. The use of public money for private schooling is as unprecedented. In addition to the billions of dollars spent annually on private school tuitions for students with disabilities, private schools get public money for books, technology and teacher training. As long as the money is seen as benefiting the child, it is considered a proper, even desirable, use of public dollars.
Don’t get us wrong. We’re not arguing for the unilateral right of parents to enroll their sons and daughters in any school they wish with the taxpayer picking up the bill. Abuse of special education policies has contributed to increase costs that threaten to take needed money from general public education funds. Safeguards are needed. Public schools should be pressed to do a better job for students with disabilities and students without. But there are schools in Washington where statistics show that failure is almost guaranteed. If a school system can’t educate a child whether because of acute special needs or its own historical failings why should that child not have options for a "free appropriate public education"?
What is the author’s attitude toward using public money to pay for the private schooling of the disabled students?
选项
A、Passionate.
B、Supportive.
C、Confused.
D、Hesitant.
答案
B
解析
观点态度题。本文总的来说以客观陈述为主,但从第一段第二句,第二段第三、四句和第四段第六、七句等处可以看出,作者虽然担心公共资金可能会被过度使用于残疾儿童的私立教育,但他总体的观点是支持孩子们得到合适的教育。正如最后一句所说:如果学校不能保证对学生的教育——不管是因为特殊需求的快速攀升还是因为历史原因导致的失败——为什么孩子们不能得到另外一个“免费而且恰当的公立教育"的机会呢?因此,作者总体的态度为B“支持的”。A“充满热情的”与文章风格不符,故排除;作者没有表现出C“困惑的”,故排除;而D“犹豫的”也不符合文章内容,故排除。
