Q29
Educational Theorist: Recent editorials have called for limits on the amount
of homework assigned to children. They point out that free-time activities
play an important role in childhood development and that large amounts of
homework reduce children’s free time, hindering their development. But the
average homework time for a ten year old, for example, is little more than
30 minutes per night. Clearly, therefore, there is no need to impose the
limits these editorials are calling for.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the educational theorist’s
argument relies?
A. The free-time activities that ten year olds engage in most are all
approximately equally effective at fostering development
B. Regularly doing homework assignments improves children’s academic
performance.
C. Individual teachers are not the best judges of how much homework to
assign the children they teach
D. In most schools, if not all, the homework assignments given are of a
length that does not diverge widely from the average.
E. Free-time activities rarely teach children skills or information that they
can use in their academic work.答案是D,能否赐教？我个人觉得是B |
