10、t Section II Resdiong Comprehension Part A Directions: Read the following four texts. answer thequestion after each text by choosing A,B,C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWERSHEET 1.(40 points) Text 1 Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents, but in recent years it
11、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
12、longer count for more than 10% of a students academic grade.This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homes might have in completing their homework.

Yet rather than empowering teachers to find what worksbest for their students, the policy imposes a flat, across-the-board rule. At the sa

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 toensure that the homework students are not assigning more than they are willingto review and correct. The homework rules should be put on hold while the school board, which is responsiblefor setting ed
