Theres no doubt that a great teacher can help in a students achievement but heres what some new studies are also showing: We need better parents.Every three years, the organization called O.E.C.D. organizes exams as part of the Program for International Student Assessment (评估), or PISA, which tests 15-year-olds on their abilities to solve real problems. Americas 15-year-olds have not done as well as students in Singapore, Finland and Shanghai in the PISA exams.To better understand the reasons, the PISA team, starting with four countries in 2020, and then adding 14 more in 2020, went to the parents of 5,000 students. They interviewed them about how they raised their kids and then compared it with the test results for each of those years. Two weeks ago, the PISA team published the main findings of its study:Fifteen-year-olds whose parents often read books with them during their first year of primary school get much higher scores in PISA 2020 than students whose parents dont often read with them or not at all. Parents concern for their children is strongly connected with better results in PISA.According to Schleicher, the leader of the team, just asking your children how their school day was and showing great interest in their learning can help a lot. It is something every parent can do, no matter what their education level.The study found that getting parents concerned about their childrens learning at home is more powerful than parents attending parent-teacher meetings, volunteering in classrooms, taking part in money-raising, and showing up at back-to-school nights.To be sure, nothing can replace a good teacher. But lets stop putting the whole responsibility on teachers. We also need better parents. Better parents can make teaching more effective (有效的).13.

It is suggested in the study that parents should _.A. try to search for better teachersB. put the whole duty on teachersC. care about their childrens school lifeD. ask their children to read more books15. Whats the best title for the passage?A. Better Parents Are Needed B. Better Teachers Are NeededC. A Study by the PISA Team D.
