Reading comprehension skills. reading comprehension questions
I always ask question that I don’t know how to answer.?
The passage:
The kids are hanging out. What is the situation? I pass small bands of students, on my way to work these mornings. In the summer sea plants have become familiar part of the scenery. When a child is born and just turned 8, does dad get a job? Why don’t people go to camp? Are schoolchildren without school? In California, the calendar for the fiscal year (July – March) ran out a few weeks ago. Once supervised by teachers and principals, now appear to be “self care”. Passing these in time is as if you were passing through a time zone. It is a fact. For much of our history, after all, Americans arranged the school year around the needs of work and family. In 19th century cities, schools were open seven or eight hours a day, 11 months a year. In rural America, the year was arranged around the growing season. When we go to school early after school we milk cows and work crops. And still only 3 percent of families still have it, but almost all schools are scheduled as if our child was taken off from home early after school. Now a year after kindergarten, up to three quarters of college age children are working all the time, and the calendar as if they were working straight away and waiting for their school bus.
The 120 day school year is considered holy. When parents work an eight hour day and a 240-day year, it means something different. It means that many kids go home empty houses. How can I suggest a hot summer day where people hang out with friends? “We have a huge mismatch between the school calendar and the realities of family life,” says Ernest Boyer, head of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Is revision of school calendar inevitable? “School is educational”/ “We like to be in school.” All always has been. He’s not a popular idea. ” Does our school system just solve our social problems? Can they be asked to meet the needs of our work and family lives? Whether you give a longer school year or not, make your case for a longer school year. What are some of the reasons that the United States has a shorter school year than any other industrial nation? In Europe the school year is 220 days and not more. In Japan, it is 240 days long. What are some examples? While classroom time alone doesn’t produce a well-educated child, learning takes time and more learning takes more time. Long summers of forgetting take a toll. How could a longer school year be a better choice for an individual as a whole? An idea comes from teachers. It comes from tradition. What do I learn right from my kids? What gets out of this battle: money and politics.
