This cofortable, friendly hoe-fro-hoe lies near the beautiful quiet countryside, but just a drive away fro the sea. The food is siple but good. Children and pets are welcoe. Reduced prices for low season. The Snowdonia Center The Snowdonia Center for young ountain clibers has a ountain lesson. The beginners' costs are ￡57 for a week, including food and roos. Equipent is included except walking shoes, which can be hired at a low cost. You ust be in good health and prepared to go through a period of body exercises. This could be the beginning of a lifetie ountain clibing adventure. The World Sea Trip of a Lifetie Our World Sea Trip of 2008 will be unlike any holiday you have ever been on before.

Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achieveent ust regularly test its pupils. The standards ay be changed—no exaination is perfect—but to have no tests or exainations would ean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in exainations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would ean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher. Without exainations, eployers will look for eployees fro the highly respected schools and fro failies known to the—a for of favourtis will replace equality. At the oent, the bright child fro an ill—respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lake of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well—respected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if exainations were taken away, and the bright child for a poor faily would be a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation, unable to copete for eployent with the child fro the favoured school. The opponents of the exaination syste suggest that exainations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there ust be no special, different, acadeic class. They have even suggested that there should be no for of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsysteatic selection. The selection would be ade by people who theselves are probably selected by soe coputer.

Children fro poor failies would be able to change their schools. D. Children’s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.

Proper ways of parental involveent 92. _________________________________ An Iowa high school counselor gets a call fro a parent protesting the “C” her child received on an assignent. “The parent argued every point in the essay,” recalls the counselor, who soon realized why the other was so disappointed about the grade. “It becae apparent that she’d written it.” 93. ________________________________- In a survey, 90% of new teachers agreed that involving parents in their children’s education is a priority at their school, but only 25％described their experience working with parents as “very satisfying.” When asked to choose e biggest challenge they face, 31％ of the quoted involving parents and counicating with the as their top choice. 73％of new teachers said too any parents treat schools and teachers as eneies. 94.__________________________________ At a tie when copetition is rising and resources are liited, when battles over testing force schools to adjust their priorities, when cell phones and e-ail speed up the inforation flow and all kinds of private ghosts and public quarrels slip into the parent-teacher conference, it’s harder for both sides to step back and breathe deeply and look at the goals they share. 95.__________________________________ Everyone says the parent-teacher conference should be pleasant, civilized, a kind of dialogue where parents and teachers build partnership.
