What will be an ideal response?
Evidence supports the importance of family participation. Getting parents and other significant adults involved in school improves young peoples' attitudes toward school and contributes to their overall school success. Parental involvement in school results in clear gains in the achievement of children. Involved parents have children with more positive attitudes about school and higher
aspirations for the future. Parental and family involvement results in achievement gains and improved attitudes toward education for several reasons. Parents and primary caregivers are children's first teachers and have worked with their children for five or six years before teachers become involved. Parents know their children and continue to have a powerful influence on their attitudes and learning. Nevertheless, adult support does not provide the same influence in all situations. Parental attitudes toward their children can cover a wide range of responses from helpful and supportive to domineering and intimidating, to displaying indifference, or to demonstrating open hostility. Family involvement tends to decline as children get older. For the most part, parents of elementary-age children control the environment and resources available to their children and have a great influence on children through the decisions and choices they make. Families continue to influence young people even as they begin to exercise their own independence in middle and high school, although this influence is not as obvious and direct. The changing relationship between families and their older children requires adjustments in expectations throughout the school years as students take on more responsibility for decision making. The common decline in parental involvement at middle and high school can be avoided if parents and teachers consider and plan for the changing needs of students. All students, no matter what level, want their families to understand and be more knowledgeable about school. When children are young, they are usually delighted to see parents and other family members at school. As students get older, they can take responsibility for engaging their family in school activities and communicating with them about homework and school decisions. In middle and high school, parental and family involvement may not be as explicit as it was in earlier years and may take different forms, but it is equally important. In the first paragraph, the word aspirations means a. responsibilities. b. concerns c. goals. d. involvement.
The witchcraft cases in Salem in 1691-1692 at first resembled those in other places and times. Several girls experimented with magic, aided by a slave woman Tituba and her husband John, who together baked a "witch cake" of rye meal and urine, feeding it to a dog. The girls, who included nine-year-old Betty Parris, the daughter of Salem Village's minister, started having fits, presumably caused by
witches. According to one report, the girls began "getting into holes, and creeping under chairs and stools, and to use sundry odd postures and antic gestures, uttering foolish ridiculous speeches." Possession spread to other village girls, leading to the arrest of three women as witches—Tituba; a poor beggar, Sarah Good; and an ailing elderly woman, Sarah Osborne. These three alleged witches were the sort of people traditionally prosecuted for the crime. Generally, in witchcraft cases, the accused were women past menopause, who in various ways deviated from expected roles. They had fewer children than the average woman their age. Lacking sons, a significant percentage of accused witches were heirs or potential heirs of estates, with greater economic autonomy than most New England women. Some claimed the power of a "cunning woman" to heal and foretell the future; many had been convicted of assaultive speech; and they were often involved in conflict with their families and neighborhoods. Revealingly, men of the same age group and troublesome character were much less likely to be identified as witches. These assertive old women went beyond the accepted bounds of female behavior and, as a result, became vulnerable to prosecution as witches. While the Salem craze commenced in the time-worn fashion, it soon engulfed people of all social levels. Accusations descended upon prosperous church members, a minister, a wealthy shipowner, and several town officials. Hysteria spread from Salem to adjacent towns. Over threequarters of the alleged witches were women; half of the accused men were their relations. Of those executed, fourteen women and five men were hanged on "Witches Hill" and another man was crushed to death with stones. Only one of the dead was of high status—the Puritan minister George Burroughs. Governor Phips, supported by influential clergymen, had allowed the prosecutions to proceed after his arrival, but put a stop to them when the accusers pointed to people at the highest levels of society, most significantly, to his own wife, Mary Phips. It had become clear, to many besides the governor, that the situation was out of control, that the evidence presented by the possessed was unreliable and quite likely the work of the devil. After Salem, witchcraft no longer assumed its earlier importance in New England society. According to the passage, the usual method of execution for those convicted of witchcraft was a. stoning. b. burning at the stake. c. hanging. d. drowning.
