Text 1

Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many

parents, but in recent years it has been particularly scorned. School districts

across the country, most recently Los Angeles Unified, are revising their

thinking on his educational ritual. Unfortunately, L.A. Unified has produced an

inflexible policy which mandates that with the exception of some advanced

courses, homework may no longer count for more than 10% of a student’s

academic grade.

This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from

impoverished or chaotic homes might have in completing their homework. But the

policy is unclear and contradictory. Certainly, no homework should be assigned

that students cannot do without expensive equipment. But if the district is

essentially giving a pass to students who do not do their homework because of

complicated family lives, it is going riskily close to the implication that

standards need to be lowered for poor children.

District administrators say that homework will still be a pat of schooling:

teachers are allowed to assign as much of it as they want. But with homework

counting for no more than 10% of their grades, students can easily skip half

their homework and see vey little difference on their report cards. Some

students might do well on state tests without completing their homework, but

what about the students who performed well on the tests and did their homework?

It is quite possible that the homework helped. Yet rather than empowering

teachers to find what works best for their students, the polic y imposes a

flat, across-the-board rule.

At the same time, the policy addresses none of the truly thorny questions

about homework. If the district finds homework to be unimportant to its

students’ academic achievement, it should move to reduce or eliminate the

assignments, not make them count for almost nothing. Conversely, if homework

does nothing to ensure that the homework students are not assigning more than

they are willing to review and correct.

The homework rules should be put on hold while the school board, which is

responsible for setting educational policy, looks into the matter and conducts

public hearings. It is not too late for L.A. Unified to do homework right.

21.It is implied in paragraph 1 that nowadays homework_____.

[A] is receiving more criticism

[B]is no longer an educational ritual

[C]is not required for advanced courses

students_____.

[A]tend to have moderate expectations for their education

[B]have asked for a different educational standard

[C]may have problems finishing their homework

[D]have voiced their complaints about homework

23.According to Paragraph 3,one problem with the policy is that it may____.

[A]discourage students from doing homework

[B]result in students' indifference to their report cards

[C]undermine the authority of state tests

[D]restrict teachers' power in education

24. As mentioned in Paragraph 4, a key question unanswered about homework

is whether______. [A] it should be eliminated

[B]it counts much in schooling

[C]it places extra burdens on teachers

[D]it is important for grades

25.A suitable title for this text could be______.

[A]Wrong Interpretation of an Educational Policy
