-Read the following passage and the answer the following questions:
Each
fall, school buses begin to roll and school bells start ringing. The
beginning of another school year is once again upon us. This should be
an exciting time for students. Their love of learning, the joy of
spending time with friends, and the many benefits of this intellectual
environment are great motivators. Parents play an important role. They must emphasize the benefits and need for a good education. They
must provide an environment that encourages learning. The process
starts at birth and is best begun by example. Their actions should
include reading to children and showing them the joy of learning. Their
actions should nourish the natural tendency we all have to learn new
things.
The
unfortunate truth is that too many parents don't care. Young children
are absent from school because parents are too lazy to get up and dress
them. These children go to school unfed because fixing breakfast is too
much of an effort. The home environment is negative and lacks
encouragement towards excellence. There is no appreciation for the value
learning brings to one's life and the doors of opportunity it opens.
There seems to be a perpetual push towards ignorance.
When I
served on the school board, my most discouraging moments were when I saw
a child walking the streets during school hours or late at night during
the school week. These pictures are still daily occurrences in many
communities. Their elimination would bring great joy to my heart.
Today's school dropouts are tomorrow's societal burdens. They will not compete in the job markets. They are more likely to become the next generation of criminals.
