Latin is a language no longer spoken by people in their daily routine life,but many Latin words are still widely used in our writings.For example,“In loco parentis”is a Latin term meaning“in the place of a parent”.It describes when someone else accepts responsibility to act in the interests of a child.This idea developed long ago in British common law to define the responsibility of teachers toward their students.For years,American courts supported in loco parentis in cases such as Gott versus Berea College in nineteen thirteen.
Gott owned a restaurant off campus.Berea threatened to expel students who are at places not owned by the sch001.The Kentucky high court decided that in loco parentis justified that rule.In local parentis meant that male and female college students usually had to live in separate buildings.Women had to be back at their dorms by ten or eleven on school nights.
But in the nineteen sixties,students began to protest against rules and restrictions like these.At the same time,courts began to support students who were being punished for being politically and behave different.
Some were not considered adults until twenty-one.Then,in nineteen seventy-one,the twenty-fifth Amendment to the Constitution(《宪法修正案》)set the voting age at eighteen.So in loco parentis no longer really applied.Slowly,colleges began to treat students not as children,but as adults.Some came to be seen as consumers of educational services.
Gary Dickstein,an assistant vice president at Wright State University in Dayton,Ohio,says in loco parentis is not really gone.It just looks different.Today’s parents,he says,are often heavily involved in students’lives.They are known as“helicopter parents”;they always seem to hover over their children.Gary Dickstein says these parents are very likely to question decisions,especially about safety issues and grades.They want to make sure their financial investment is not being wasted.
As a result,in loco parentis has been replaced by what some administrators call a partnership between the school and the family.As a matter of fact,the orientation program for new students at Virginia Tech this summer includes a meeting for parents called“Parents as Partners”.
What is probably the best title of the passage?
选项
A、From Substitute Parents to Partners
B、A11.Round Teachers
C、Educational Administration VS Partnership
D、Smart Consumers
答案
A
解析
文章主要讨论了“In loco parentis”意思的发展,经历了从“代替父母”到“合作关系”意思的变化,所以选A项。B项“全能的教师”,C项“教育管理与合作关系”,D项“聪明的消费者”,都与主旨相差甚远。
