Children for whom school has no point Many children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings,or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them．Thousands more are not registered at any school at all,because of their families'unstable lives. Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths．First of all,the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves．Secondly,once children go to school,we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going. In Britain,the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade Schools to bring truants'and excluded children back into the classroom．It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children．Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school;if they do not meet the target,the grant is withdrawn. Parents are the subject of this campaign,too:the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school,and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets. Truant=a child who does not go to school when he or she should. Part of the problem is__.
A、that people feel very emotional
B、that parents worry their children at school
C、that these children think education is a waste of time
D、that there are not enough police to pick up truants on the streets
【正确答案】：C
【题目解析】：首先，我们要理解文章的主要内容和主旨。文章描述了许多孩子不去上学的原因，主要涉及到他们的家庭环境，包括父母希望他们留在家中照顾兄弟姐妹，或者父母没有送他们上学的意愿。同时，也提到了许多孩子因为家庭生活不稳定而未能注册上学。 接下来，我们来看四个选项： A. 人们感到非常情绪化：这个选项与文章内容无关，文章中并没有提到人们的情绪问题。 B. 父母担心他们的孩子在学校：这个选项也不符合文章主旨。文章提到的是父母不送孩子上学，而不是担心孩子在学校。 C. 这些孩子认为教育是浪费时间：这个选项与文章主旨相符。根据文章描述，很多孩子不去上学的原因可能与他们自己对教育的看法有关，即他们认为上学没有意义，是浪费时间。 D. 没有足够的警察去抓逃学的孩子：这个选项与文章内容不符。文章虽然提到了警方有权力在街上抓逃学的孩子，但并没有说这是问题的原因。 综上所述，文章描述的问题部分在于这些孩子认为教育是浪费时间，因此他们不愿意去上学。所以正确答案是C。
