次の文章を読み,下の問いに答えなさい。
Education has been called America's religion. One-half of all the people in the
country between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five are enrolled in either a college or
A ; all boys and girls up to age sixteen are required to go to school. Education is an
enormous (and expensive) part of American life. Its size is matched by its variety.
The widely different educational systems and
B
are as difficult for an outsider to
understand as anything about American life.
The difference between American schools and those in the majority of other
countries lies in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyone―not
just for a privileged elite. Schools are expected to meet the needs of every child,
regardless of ability, and also the needs of society itself.
( あ )This means that
tax-supported public schools offer more than academic subjects. It surprises many
people when they come here to find high schools offering such courses as typing, sewing,
radio repair, computer programming, or driver training, along with traditional
academic subjects, such as mathematics, history, and languages.
Students choose
their curricula from a large selection of courses, depending on their interests, future
goals, and level of ability. The underlying goal of American education is to develop
every child to the utmost of his or her own
C , however great or small these may be,
and to give each one a sense of social responsibility.
Because there is no national religion and because there are so many different
backgrounds and origins among the people, schools have traditionally played an
important role in creating national unity and "Americanizing" the millions of
immigrants who have poured into this country. Schools still play a large role in the

“Schoolhouse on the Hill”
問題
次の英文を読んで,あとの問いに答えなさい。
The song, “Schoolhouse on the Hill,” goes, “The schoolhouse on the hill…, happy days are
gathered around me still, I never can forget.”
What kind of school do you imagine from the song? The words of the song tell a story
about old American schools.
“Schoolhouse on the Hill” is from a book of American school songs, written in the early
1900s.
In the 1930s, a musical group named the Carter Family recorded the song, which
later became very popular through the new medium of radio.
Because of the song, the
“schoolhouse on a hill” became a ①familiar icon, a common symbol for schools in the US.
In those days, a school usually had only one room. It was called a one-room school.
②(be / a one-room school / like / you / what / think / do / would)?
Rita and Dale, who were
school children in the 1940s, talked about their memories of their one-room school.

“Schoolhouse on the Hill”
問題
次の英文を読んで,あとの問いに答えなさい。
“Schoolhouse on the Hill” is from a book of American school songs, written in the early
1900s.
In the 1930s, a musical group named the Carter Family recorded the song, which
later became very popular through the new ①medium of radio.
Because of the song, the
“schoolhouse on a hill” became a familiar icon, a common symbol for schools in the US.
In
those days, a school usually had only one room. It was called a one-room school.
What do you think a one-room school would be like?
Rita and Dale, who were school
children in the 1940s, talked about their memories of their one-room school.
Rita: We had grades one through eight, probably 35 to 40 kids in total.
Our teacher was very strict with students.
②Looking back, I think we probably
learned more in that kind of school than kids do today――because of the discipline.
Dale: We helped each other too.
If someone was slow or had problems, it was another
student that was responsible for helping.
③That kind of activity helped us learn
better, I’m sure.

次の英文を読んで,あとの問いに答えなさい。
Is there anybody who doesn’t remember their first school uniform? I remember it to
this day. When I first wore the deep-blue cotton dress of my high school and a soft hat
with a band in the school colors, and a blazer with the school badge on the pocket, I felt
as if I’d joined psychological hands with an exciting sisterhood.
Uniforms were a vital part of the thrill, but they also tied one into the ethos of the
school. They gave one a sense of ( A ) to the school community, of it being a special
place. It was a symbol that one was joining a world of shared values, loyalties, hopes
and dreams.
But (1)there are other, more important, issues here. When I went to a private school,
there were the children of wealthy families sitting beside the daughters of ( B
)
clerks and bank officials. The shared uniform helped to do away with material rank
and status. When my daughter went to a more renowned school and there was no
uniform, I still remember the difficulty of dressing her properly every morning. She
had just turned 13――grown out of the sweet little-girl clothes that pleased her mother,
but not yet old enough to dress like a grown-up.
Clothes became an issue. They mattered in ways that weren’t always attractive.
Clothes spoke of income, social status, fashion know-how, and interests. But each day
a decision had to be made about ( C ). My daughter was immune to the pressures of
fancy trainers, designer jackets and so on, but what a relief it would have been to have
had a set of clothes she could wear every day.
One parent whose children ( D ) a non-uniform-wearing school to one where they
must wear uniforms was surprised to discover that “it changed my relationship as a
parent with the school, something I never expected. When children have to wear a
uniform, we parents have to buy it, put name tags on it, and make sure that they are
wearing it (
E
).
If we don’t, our children will get into trouble for our
failure――something that most parents are keen to avoid. For the first time, the school
was requiring something of me, beyond the duty to get them to the building on time.
It meant that I, ( F
), had to observe their rules.”

次の英文を読んで,あとの問いに答えなさい。
Promoting children’s self-esteem seems to be one of the great goals of modern
childcare and education. It goes hand in hand with an enthusiastic praise culture,
where children are feted for the most minor achievements.
The promotion of self-esteem is, rightly, a reaction against sterner times when
children weren’t encouraged enough. But it also seems to be caused by a fear of what
failure will do to children. A fear that if children don’t succeed in a task, they will
somehow be damaged.
I believe the opposite is true. Children need to experience failure to learn and to
grow. Scientists know that trial and error――and, yes, failure――lead ultimately to
greater knowledge of the world. Many scientists spend years experiencing continued
failure in the laboratory until they finally make a breakthrough.
Parents shouldn’t be frightened of their children failing at things――they should be
encouraging their children to aim high and to be challenged.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with failure. The important thing is that children
have the right grounding to be able to cope with it and bounce back, realizing that
failure is not the end of the world. It’s a perfectly normal and necessary experience.
Constant, meaningless praise is more likely to make setbacks difficult for a child. If
children have been praised for everything they’ve done, regardless of how good it is,
then failure will be all the more painful. By the same token, a brilliant achievement
will be less remarkable.
Praise is important, but it should be used discriminately. It seems so obvious to say
it, but if everything is worthy of praise, then pretty much everything is devalued and
the whole exercise becomes rather pointless. Yet criticism seems to have become the
new taboo.
In the world of the classroom, the fear of pointing out mistakes is not doing our
children any favors. A friend of mine is the mother of two boys who attend a primary
school in north London. She’s concerned about the lack of rigor in marking. “My
eight-year-old son came home with a piece of work that contained no punctuation at all.
His teacher had marked it ‘Excellent.’ It wasn’t excellent and I’ve asked the teacher
not to describe mediocre work as such.”(後略)
